About Strala Training
Strala is moving with ease during restful and challenging circumstances alike. When you find ease in effort, your body and life become very capable and strong. You become an expert at creating space in your life for peace, creativity, inspiration, and all-around feeling great.
Strala Training empowers you to find this easy capability whether on your yoga mat, leading a class, or living your life. With Strala, your yoga will transform into a moving meditation that cultivates a radiantly strong, connected, healthy, and inspired body and mind from the inside out.
This training gives you the tools you need to become the leader you’re meant to be, to yourself, those nearest you, or to millions of people around the world.
- If you’re leading yoga, people will love the experience, and your classes will grow.
- You’ll be a creative, capable and inventive leader at work.
- You’ll connect and relate easily and enjoyably with the people around you.
Whether you’re interested in pursuing a teaching path, getting deeper into your yoga, or both, Strala Training is a journey that will transform your inner and outer world.
Learning to move with ease in your body and life is a different kind of challenge than the push and struggle of ordinary physical effort. It’s also a much more rewarding one. It gives far greater physical and life ability. It also gives you you. From here, you get to support other people in finding their own way, and creating their own inspiring lives.
Who is this for?
Strala is practice for accomplishing great challenges with inspiring ease, while dropping the push, stress and struggle from your yoga. It’s also practice for being the best in the world at being you, while dropping the push, stress and struggle from your life. Whether you’re leading yoga, leading at work, or leading your life, Strala gives you practice time for being capable in your body and life. Our training gives you the design details on how this works, and how to use it consciously in everything you do.
What you’ll learn
You’ll learn how to understand and lead a Strala STRONG class, including sequencing, pace, flow, psychology, language and music. You’ll also learn to be incredibly capable in your body and in your life.
We begin with breath, getting into your natural flow, and connecting to creativity and intuition. You get happy! And you get to help many others in finding and creating their own way.
For teachers
- Give people in your classes a feeling of strength, expansiveness, and ease in the midst of challenge

Hi there!
I’ve been practicing yoga for about a year and a half now and especially love the Strala style. I live close to Toronto and think this would be a great opportunity for me to improve in yoga and to learn about Strala’s teaching style as I am considering becoming a yoga instructor. Would this workshop be beneficial for me?
Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you!
Hi Jasmine! thanks for getting in touch. So happy you did! The training is a perfect fit for you! It’s an intensive so you’ll be with us for a long time each day, which is a great way to practice finding the ease in the movements and also learning how to lead with ease and guide with ease in your future classes! Hope to see you there! Let me know if you have any other questions about the intensive. You can reach us here or me at tara@stralayoga.com Talk soon! Tara
Awesome! I’m very excited! How quickly do you think this will get full? Do you think I have a week or two to register? Thanks again,
Jasmine
Hey Jasmine good morning!
We’re not sure, it’s our first training in Toronto
My guess is you have a little time, just sign up as soon as you’re able.
Look forward to seeing you & happy Sunday!!
Mike
Ok, great, I will sign up as soon as I can. Excited to meet you guys!
I have a question, I’ve been practicing for about a year now, however do not have previous certification to teach yoga but am looking to do so in the future, would this intensive be appropriate for me, or is it more beneficial for those who have been practicing longer with certification?
Hey Rebeca, sorry for the delay! A good number of people going through the intensives are in about the same boat as you. It can be a great way to explore your yoga, and help you along the way as you gain more experience. Thanks and happy Wednesday
I just signed up to go to the relax class on an impulse! I live a few hours away but thinking of making a fun weekend in Toronto out of this!!
Kind of excited to meet Tara in real life hehe!
Please bring a training intensive or workshop to Chicago or Chicago suburbs! !
I would love to take classes from you and all of Strala:) I’m sure dance studios would let you borrow their studios. I have been practicing yoga for about 6 years and I have been practicing classical ballet (also jazz, hip-hop, modern, and lyrical) for nearly all 22yrs of my life. ~peace
Any chance you will bring an instructor class to Illinois? Maybe close to NEWTON! Attended Yoga on the Square and loved it!
Thanks for offering this! I was waiting to see if there would be one offered closer to home this year, but I’m too excited to wait! I am hoping to make it to this teacher intensive in May, but I do have a few logistics to work out. Do I have much time to reserve my spot? Is it nearly full?
Hey Jen, sounds great!
We do have some open spots in the Toronto intensive. I expect it will get full, so just sign up when you’re able!
Hope we see you soon, and good weekend!
Mike
Hi, I’m super pumped to maybe be coming for the teacher training. I am just waiting to hear back from my boss, hopefully first thing MOnday. Just wondering if there is still room for someone who loves thinking she might be able to come!
Hey Keri Jo, we have room! Hope we see you there, we’re excited for Toronto
Happy Sunday night!
Hi! I’m still a beginner but learning fast and love Strala’s yoga style and Tara has become my youtube mentor so to speak. I have a professional ballet training background although that was years ago. I would love to attend the training and my intention is to eventually enrol in a teacher training. Do you think this training would be a good fit or would I just slow everyone down? Thanks in advance.
Hey Julie, all our trainings have people from a wide range of backgrounds and experience; it makes for a great group.
If you want to jump into Strala, the intensives are a great way to get things moving. Toronto will be fun, so great if you’re able to join us there!
Thank you Mike. See you in TO!
hi guys. LOVE your work! will you be doing any intensives in london or even ny at the end of the year at all? xo
Hi Michelle! We won’t have anything in New York or London this year, but we’re aiming for London first half of next year. We’ll get there
Happy weekend!
-Mike
