200hr Yoga Teacher Training - Fall/Winter 25/26
with Stacie Tappen & Shelley Hoffos
Yoga is much more than a physical practice. It’s a path to becoming a better human, embodying qualities like empathy, self-compassion, resilience, and mindfulness. Rooted in ancient wisdom, yoga guides you toward a more balanced and authentic life, helping you live with inspired intention and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.
In this transformative 200-hour yoga teacher training, we invite you to explore the depths of your heart and the power of compassion through vinyasa flow. With breath and movement as your guide, you’ll integrate yoga’s teachings with modern science, cultivating a deeper sense of connection, empathy, and purpose both on and off the mat.
On this journey, you’ll learn to transform self-judgment into self-love and acceptance while gaining the tools to create a nurturing, inclusive environment for your students. We’ll explore the philosophy of yoga, its ethical principles, and how they can guide you in living with balance and integrity in today’s world. By connecting to your true nature, you will align with the creative freedom to inspire and support others.
This deeply enriched program is open to all levels—whether you’re an aspiring teacher or a curious practitioner.
300hr Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
with Michele Theoret
Just as there is no “one size fits all” yoga practice, we believe that each teacher is unique in their offerings and it is our goal to create a program that awakens these talents, empowering teachers to find their own voice and style. Our programs combine modern concepts based on psychology, trauma-sensitive protocols, biomechanics, and modern movement paradigms.
We encourage students to ask intelligent questions, determine context and applicability, work synergistically within modern health care paradigms, and most importantly create their own style based in both tradition and innovation.
Michele Theoret brings over 20 years of yoga teaching experience, professional training in personal training and group fitness instruction, a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science, Masters of Science in Natural Health Sciences, and Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology. As a psychologist and yoga teacher Michele prides herself in meeting each student where they are at and supporting them through both education and practical experience. Michele has studied in many yoga and mediation traditions and integrates these teachings with her formal education in exercise science and psychology.
