Get Started

Hatha Yoga Teacher Training

When the practice of yoga actively takes place in our lives it is no longer separated from the life we live. Yoga is a refuge, a place to go to for comfort, rest, knowledge, and recharge. This embodiment essentially changes our way of being into a “Bliss” state of awareness and invites deep shifts in consciousness. 

It is truly functional when we learn and experience this yoga practice and naturally transfer this into life outside of yoga on the mat.

Yoga is also more than a lifestyle option, Yoga is about our being and how that being is an inseparable aspect of Life itself.  To be a yogi refers to yoga integrated into lifestyle.

Yoga is a Way of Being

Self practice with self leadership of effective techniques and holistic understanding of yoga is essential. To integrate a yoga practice as a part of life, and lifestyle, is perhaps even higher an ideal.

YOGA TEACHER (MASTER TEACHER)

Johann received extensive training in the Sivananda Yoga lineage and has a strong remedial basis. His courses are simple and holistic Hatha Yoga, with a unique, wide ranging, lifelong interest in varied spiritual traditions, modern human potential and self development. Johann has been practicing and teaching Yoga since 1990, His knowledge in this space and love for yoga is inspirational. The Sivananda Integral style was developed by one of the most authentic 20th century yogi’s. Says Johann: “For me Swami Sivananda was a true saint, and his job was similar to that of Patanjali, who acquired the status of a legendary Sage by clearly compiling and codifying a very broad, comprehensive but scattering of yoga practices.”
Johann has traveled to India several times, where he studied with authentic Yoga Instructors, and received his main training from Cape Town’s traditional Sivananda ashram, with Swami Venkatsenanda as patron.

Teacher Training Reviews

“Thank you Johann and Candace for taking the time and giving me the space to learn aspects of Hatha Yoga and to develop a practice of teaching that I believe will work well for many in my community when the time comes. As we discussed, when the teacher is ready the student will appear and when the student is ready the teacher will appear. OM Shanti Shanti Shanti! Module 2 – The Art of Teaching helped me focus and create a complete Hatha Yoga sequence and style. Thank you Johann and Candace for taking the time and giving me the space to learn the many aspects of Hatha Yoga and to develop a practice of teaching that is unique to me. Whether you are looking to become a Hatha teacher or just wanting to dive deeper into the practice of Hatha Yoga, you will not be disappointed.”

Martin Goldberg

“Teacher training with Johann and Candace was a real pleasure. They both come from different perspectives and cover different layers of Hatha Yoga practice and philosophy, which makes the study comprehensive and enjoyable. Their love and respect for the practice is clear and this gives a guiding light to the curriculum. I truly enjoyed every moment and I can’t wait for more. Thank you Johann and Candace.”

Dina Ridha

“Training with Johann and Candace was truly one of the greatest blessings of my life. They are, hands down, two of the smartest, most insightful, and most embodied teachers I have ever met. Their depth of knowledge, clarity in teaching, and genuine integrity in how they live and share yoga is extraordinary. I will always cherish my yoga teacher training experience with them. No matter where life takes me, I know this training will remain one of the best choices I have ever made — not only for myself, but for the way I show up in the world. The foundation they helped me build continues to guide me every single day. Throughout the entire journey, I felt deeply supported, seen, and encouraged. Even now, after the formal training has ended, Johann and Candace continue to show up with reassurance, wisdom, and generosity. It’s rare and beautiful to still feel such a strong sense of community beyond graduation — to know that collaboration, mentorship, and connection are ongoing. What moves me most is the lineage of Sivananda they carry and the integrity with which they pass it on. I feel honored to share what they’ve taught me and to carry their teachings forward in my own way. Being able to give back to the world from the roots of Sivananda feels like a true privilege. I am endlessly grateful for them, for this training, and for the community they have created.”
