New 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
Hatha • Ashtanga Informed • Yin • Traditional Chinese Medicine
This immersive 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training takes students through a progressive study of Hatha, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga, combining traditional yogic foundations with modern anatomy, intelligent movement, philosophy, teaching methodology and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
We begin with Hatha Yoga, establishing the foundations of asana, breath, alignment, anatomy, sequencing and the principles behind a well-rounded yoga practice.
From there, we move into Ashtanga Yoga, exploring a more structured and disciplined approach to practice. Students develop a deeper understanding of the postures, transitions, breath, bandhas, drishti and sequencing while experiencing how repetition can build strength, awareness and confidence.
The training then moves into Yin Yoga, where we explore stillness, longer-held postures, fascia, functional anatomy, nervous-system regulation and the principles that distinguish Yin from more active forms of yoga.
Our Yin studies are further supported by a dedicated Traditional Chinese Medicine component with Chris Savidge of Savage Health, including the Five Elements, Organ Theory, Meridians and how to locate them, along with connections between Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Yoga.
Throughout the training, students will also study yoga philosophy, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, functional movement, sequencing, cueing, modifications, hands-on teaching experience and the art of holding space for others.
The training is led by Shikha Mehta and Melissa, bringing extensive training and teaching experience across Hatha, Ashtanga, Yin and complementary movement practices.
This program is designed both for students who want to become certified yoga teachers and for dedicated practitioners who simply want to deepen their understanding and practice. 200-hour teacher training certification eligible for Yoga Alliance registration.

Led by:
Shikha Mehta is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) with more than 800 hours of formal yoga education and thousands of hours of teaching experience across studio classes, workshops, retreats, continuing education, and teacher trainings.
Her teaching is grounded in the traditional foundations of yoga while informed by modern movement, functional anatomy, somatic awareness, and her training in Mat Pilates 1 through 3. Her studies span Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, meditation, pranayama, yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, anatomy, and movement, allowing her to approach yoga as both a physical practice and a broader system of self-study.
Beyond yoga and movement, Shikha is a Reiki Master, Akashic Records Navigator, and Energy Healer, with extensive experience facilitating workshops, trainings, group experiences, and one-to-one work. This background brings another dimension to her teaching, integrating energetic awareness and intuition with grounded, practical application.
As a teacher trainer, Shikha emphasizes clarity, safety, embodiment, self-inquiry, and confident teaching. Rather than teaching students to simply memorize poses and cues, she encourages them to understand what they are teaching, develop their own voice, and learn how to meet the individual in front of them.
Melissa is a dedicated yoga practitioner, teacher, educator, and holistic health and wellness coach with over 15 years of personal yoga practice. Her approach brings together her background in education, health and wellness, and the traditional study and practice of yoga.
As an RYT 500 with a specialization in Ashtanga Yoga, Melissa brings a disciplined and deeply embodied approach to practice and teaching. Her classes balance structure with accessibility, integrating movement, breath, awareness, and traditional yogic principles while encouraging students to meet themselves exactly where they are.
Melissa’s own practice extends beyond asana and is rooted in ongoing study, meditation, mantra, breathwork, and devotion. She believes yoga is not simply something we practice on the mat, but a lifelong study that can support physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
As a lead teacher in this 200-hour training, Melissa brings her experience as both an educator and yoga teacher to the study of Ashtanga, helping students understand not only the practice itself, but how to confidently and thoughtfully share it with others.
Chris Savidge is a Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Registered Acupuncturist and the founder of Savidge Health. He began studying acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in 2004, earned his Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2007, and has been practising in Ontario since 2009. Savidge Health
His studies in the healing arts extend beyond Chinese Medicine. Chris has spent significant time in India studying meditation, yoga, and energy medicine, giving him a unique perspective on the relationship between Eastern systems of health, movement, and self-study.
Within this 200-hour training, Chris leads the Traditional Chinese Medicine component, introducing students to the Five Elements, organ theory, meridian pathways and how to locate them, while exploring the connections between Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and yoga.
His teaching gives students a deeper framework for understanding the energetic principles that inform the Yin portion of the training, adding context and depth to the yoga taught by Shikha and Melissa.
Reflections From Our Inaugural Class
In March 2026, we welcomed our first Inner Worx 200-Hour Immersive Yoga Teacher Training, an intimate group of dedicated students who embraced the practice, philosophy, and deeper teachings of yoga.
We’re incredibly proud of the community they created and grateful for the trust, curiosity, and commitment they brought to the journey. Here’s what some of our inaugural students had to say about their experience:
Shauntahl
All of the teachers at Inner Worx are so lovely I enjoy being in the space every time. Now taking the Classic Hatha Yoga Teacher Training has been an amazing experience as close to being able to take a YTT in India but not in India. Shikha thank you for being so in integrity of the lineage of Classic Hatha Yoga and all the wisdom and philosophy of practice that is so much more than just exercises.
Violet
Infinite gratitude to Shikha Meta for her devotion, ancient rituals, energy & offerings to the community of Thornbury Ontario. I love all the classes offered and especially the Yoga Teacher Training Course I got to experience and receive Certification. Thank you Inner Worx
Thank you Shikha Meta and teacher community.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a traditional Japanese practice, which treats the mind, body and spirit through the gentle application of hands-on or distance healing. Founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, “Universal life force energy” travels through the attuned person to go where it is needed, promoting natural healing, stress reduction, and relaxation into each person’s life. Rei which means “God’s wisdom or Higher power” and Ki which means “Life force energy in Japanese. Reiki is known to release physical and emotional blockages, bring healing and relief to areas of illness or pain, and aid in a greater clarity and awareness.
FAQ:
Q: Do I have to do all the levels?
A: No, Reiki is about following a path to which you are drawn to. Honor yourself, first and foremost.
Q: Why do you split the sessions over multiple weeks instead of completing all at once?
A: Traditionally, Reiki is taught over years not weeks, as it takes time for the practitioner to go through their own energetic shifts and learning curves. We become better practitioners when we can practice on others, receive treatments, and experience and apply Reiki Healing in our everyday lives. By splitting the course over multiple weeks, we allow time for questions to formulate and shifts to begin to take place. We took the time to do the work so let’s experience the benefits fully – mindfully, energetically and soulfully!
Q: What happens when each level is finished, and you receive a certification?
A: You might feel different as you have experienced an attunement(s). By then you have worked through some of your own shifts and learned to connect to “life force energy”. Experience is the best teacher when it comes to learning how to center yourself and channel healing for yourself or others, so the more you can practice, the more you will learn. We can help you, if becoming a practitioner is the path you choose!
