Welcome to the Ontario Yoga Association (OYA)

In the last 30 years, we have been striving to strengthen yoga standards within our community by registering teacher training programs, encouraging yoga teachers to become FOYT Registered, educating non members why they need to become members and providing benefits to members that are already with us. There is no denying that FOYT has come a long way.

Now, the time is anew and we have moved to become OYA. Yoga has grown immensely in the last few years. We are seeing a growth in the number of students choosing yoga as a career path, multiple yoga publications available for purchase, commercials with people using yoga as stress release, yoga in the gyms and an overwhelming response of yoga in the corporate office at lunchtime. We have come to realize that FOYT’s name secluded us from the general public reaching out for yoga tools and information. We took a step forward and created OYA allowing us to embrace all things yoga. We strive to become the leaders in our province in uniting all walks of life that choose to bring yoga into their lives.

With great love,

Dorothy Guerra
