A science-based yoga school set in the beautiful Okanagan, we are a Yoga and health & wellness training company. Graduates of this program may be able to register as a certified yoga instructor or apply continuing education credits to their profile. Founded in 2015 by Physiotherapist Brett Wade and Occupational Therapist Siri Marken, we offer mindful Yoga teacher trainings, and workshops for continuing education.

We respect Yoga and teach it in a safe and science-grounded way: we were seeing people get injured in Yoga taught by teachers who didn’t understand anatomy or were more interested in the aesthetics of the posture than guiding students on a safe Yoga journey. This was a major opportunity for awakening and alignment and the Yoga Science School was born. Proud of our teachers education and experience, our courses focus on posture, alignment, and the physiological benefits of Yoga and breathwork.

    NASYS is an excellent yoga teacher training school. I have used everything Suri and Brett taught me within my practice as a yoga teacher. The comprehensive examination of the skeletal and muscular systems in conjunction with a deep study of Patanjali's 8 limbs and the Eastern philosophies of yoga have given me a strong foundation.

    The teachers are highly educated and have taught me so well. Not only how to be a better teacher but to be able to hold space for students in a very safe loving community. It was an amazing opportunity to work with all 4 teachers and learn so many tools. And thank you to the friends I studied with. May we all continue to Shine

    NASYS was created by an Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist who have extensive knowledge with the human body and injury prevention. I think this is a vital contribution to the yoga teacher training program.
