Event Details
We take great pride at SOYA in providing you with studies rich in philosophy, ritual, practice and spirit. It is important to us that our students experience Yoga as it was intended to be; an 8-fold path to enlightenment. Welcome! Namaste.
This is our last offering of this format and the last opportunity to take it with SOYA until 2026! Big things are coming and new programs will be announced in January of 2025.
These 2 Modules are needed to complete your 300 hour Professional Upgrade to RYT500 certification. We are a registered yoga school with Yoga Alliance.
Module A: Melaque, Mexico*
November 23rd – December 6th, 2024. Stay at or near the gated villa where we spend our days immersed in practices and studies. Located along the laguna, just blocks from the ocean and in the midst of a safe, bustling, truly Mexican town. Your teachers are Rebecca Stone and Lalita Scott.
Module B: Penticton, BC
April 10 – 21, 2025. Your days will be spent in the lovely Linden Gardens, just as they are waking up for spring! Stay in Kaledon at the cabins just minutes away.
*This program will be running concurrently with our long-running 200hr yoga teacher training Mexico immersion. There will be times the two student groups will participate in events together, including meals and graduation celebrations!

Rebecca Stone, E-RYT500, R-CYT, Pain Care Aware Level 2
Rebecca graduated from SOYA’s program in 2010. The blessing of this curriculum, and learning with Mugs instilled a great love, respect and thirst for the authentic teachings of yoga. She is also a certified Children’s and Family Yoga teacher that loves to bring yoga to life through play and relationship building.
Creating yoga classes that are accessible, informative, and transformational for all ages and abilities is her passion. With the blessing of having a mother who was a physiotherapist for over 40 years, the opportunity to mentor under that wisdom has deeply influenced her understanding and presentation of the blending of yoga asana, functional movement principles and the mind/body/spirit connection. She continues her ongoing education by being a voracious reader and question-asker, participating in varying workshops and retreats with world-class educators.
Becky is the lead trainer for the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and 300 hour Yoga Teacher training programs in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, Mexico and several Online and Hybrid training formats.
