Now, The Teachings of Yoga...

  I had been contemplating taking a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program for a few years before I began attending Yoga Center Winnipeg but was unsure as to where and how this journey would unfold. However, once I was introduced to YCW, I knew that I had found the yoga community I was searching for and was finally ready to take the leap and commit. And as the saying goes, I have no regrets!The Teacher Training Program at YCW has far exceeded my expectations. The incredible breadth of knowledge and understanding of the practice, as well as the wisdom and guidance of Shauna has provided me with a profoundly transformative experience.

Yoga offers many gifts, and I am extremely thankful for having Yoga in my life! For me, Yoga has been key in maintaining a sense of grounding and presence, which has been especially helpful during all the change and uncertainty of the pandemic. It also helps to quiet my mind, instilling in me a feeling of inner calm and peace.

Another gift that Yoga offers is a sense of connection. It has given me an opportunity to connect with and develop a deeper understanding of myself. And even with the social distancing and isolation in the pandemic, I have still felt connected to my Yoga community.

Yoga teaches us to adapt, and we have certainly had to adapt during the pandemic! I am so appreciative of the courage, grace and commitment of Shauna and Jan to evolve with these challenging times. The online offerings have been a real gift! I have especially enjoyed the Sadhana experience. It has led me to finally be able to develop a consistent home practice!

In closing, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the experience of the YCW Teacher Training Program and the amazing and life changing opportunity to explore and embrace the practice of yoga.
