If you feel called to teach, you will also leave feeling confident and empowered to step into that role. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare you to become an excellent yoga teacher, with specialized workshops in teaching methodology, sequencing, hands-on adjustments, and the art and responsibility of holding space. You’ll also have multiple opportunities to practice teaching, helping you dissolve nerves, build skill, and discover your authentic voice.

Whether you plan to teach or simply deepen your personal path, you will leave feeling grounded in your practice, reverent in your understanding of Yoga, and equipped with knowledge and experience that truly supports your life's journey.

A central theme of this training is Living Yoga. Each day, we’ll explore how to carry this practice into your daily life and the importance of embodying integrity, truth, and compassion not just on the mat, but in every moment. Your life is so precious, to live from your heart and with good morals and compassion for yourself and others is the best way to make the most of it. 

500hr E-RYT, Breathwork Facilitator/Trainer, YACEP, Registered Massage Therapist, Reiki Practitioner

Lauren Ford is a devotional yoga student and teacher whose work is drawn from a deep love for movement, breath, and embodied self-inquiry. With extensive training in traditional yoga, creative vinyasa sequencing, yin yoga, therapeutic breathwork, and anatomy, she offers an approach that blends purposeful technique with intuitive inner listening. 

Lauren is passionate about practices that help students genuinely know themselves. Her teaching is grounded in a well rounded approach that creates a thoughtful balance between meeting one’s edge to build resilience and slowing down to relax and integrate life. She sees the yoga practice as a mirror to the self, revealing important information about one’s inner world and how to move through life authentically.

Her background in Registered Massage Therapy, breathwork and energy healing informs her classes with a strong understanding of alignment, biomechanics, the nervous system, and the subtle body. Lauren is especially passionate about the interplay of breath and movement, and how they support greater vitality and connection.

What brings Lauren the greatest joy is guiding students inside immersive learning containers — spaces where transformation, self-development, and genuine community connection unfold naturally. Her own intensive trainings were pivotal moments on her path, and she is committed to creating that same depth of experience for others. 

In her classes and trainings, students can expect creative and intelligent sequencing rooted in anatomy and alignment, breath-centered practices that support presence and inner clarity, and a nurturing, spacious environment that encourages self-trust, embodied awareness, and practicing in a safe and sustainable way. Lauren’s work invites students to feel at home in their bodies, empowered in their choices, and connected to the healing potential that already lives within them. A

Renae is a dedicated yoga student and teacher whose journey is rooted in compassion, finding peace of mind, and a deep respect for the lineage of yoga. She completed her foundational 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with YogaRenew, where she discovered her desire to continue to dive into the practice beyond its physical elements. Committed to lifelong learning, Renae has continued her studies with a range of teachers including Vincent Lu, Nicki Doane, Ryan Leier, Ramaswami Srivatsa, Father Joe Pereira, Sri Shubha and Eddie Modestini. Each teacher has shaped her understanding of yoga — from alignment-based movement and mindful breathwork to philosophy, mantra, and scripture. Renae’s training and practice have included elements of Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar, and yin yoga. 

Guided by curiosity and reverence for the tradition, Renae offers classes that are grounding, mindful, and intentionally sequenced. Her aim is to support students in discovering balance, clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves — both on and off the mat by blending traditional wisdom with accessible, modern practice. She believes an essential part of being a teacher is to meet each student where they are at with compassion. 

Renae loves teaching yoga because of the undeniable way it has changed her life. She came to the practice with a sense of wanting greater ease and connection with self and others, and eventually through time that was exactly what happened. A consistent and dedicated yoga practice can shift how we understand the nature of ourselves and the lives we share this Earth with. It is an honour to be of service to others and share this practice!

Through somatic coaching, embodiment, and tantric practices, Danica supports individuals in creating greater freedom, agency, and aliveness in their lives. Her approach is centered in embodiment and somatic practices, making her work experiential rather than theoretical.

Her teachings are informed by her own lived, embodied experience and draw from a wide range of modalities she has studied, including (but not limited to): Somatic Coaching, Erotic Education,Trauma Resolution, Embodiment, Tantra, Emotional Alchemy, Therapeutic Movement, Psychology, Shadow Work, Inner Child Integration, Meditation, Breathwork, and Yoga. 

Danica’s mission is rooted in guiding individuals back to themselves by dismantling the masks worn for validation, approval, and protection. Her offerings support individuals in finding liberation by breaking free from old patterns and limiting beliefs that have kept them small, held them back, or disconnected them from their authenticity. She helps individuals cultivate enough internal safety to surrender into the present moment and whatever life is presenting to them. She works with the mantra “Life as the Teacher” which means she invites individuals to allow the emergent field of the “right now” moment to guide them exactly where they are meant to go. She encourages individuals to see whatever is surfacing in their lives as a messenger of what needs to be felt, tended to, addressed, or acknowledged. Her deepest intention is to create safe enough spaces for individuals to open to the truth of the present moment, reveal the truth of who they are, and to experience a deep sense of belonging (free from shame).

The pillars of her work include Body Wisdom, Feminine Spirituality, Gnosis, Self-Sovereignty, Personal Responsibility, De-Shaming, Empowerment, Liberation, and Curiosity.
