After moving to Toronto in 2013 to study Drawing and Painting at OCAD University, Haley found herself seeking connection in a new city. The search that stemmed from the need to feel less isolated, led her to a yoga studio— but ultimately, to a practice that would reshape her path entirely. Haley completed her first 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 while finishing her undergraduate degree, and began teaching full-time immediately after completing her certification. Since then, her studies have continued to evolve, including a 300-hour advanced training in Bali, a 30-hour trauma-informed certification, a 30-hour aerial yoga training, an 8-hour hands-on adjustments intensive, and mentorship with an FST provider to deepen her understanding of anatomy. Haley's teaching is rooted in a deep respect for the individuality of each body, with a strong focus on functional anatomy and intelligent movement. Now, with over a decade of teaching experience, Haley is deeply honoured to lead this training and share the knowledge she has accumulated—supporting future teachers in developing confidence, clarity, and a practice that is truly their own.

In this YTT : I'm most excited to facilitate those "aha" moments. The ones where learning is integrated, the new passions are discovered for the first time and the big pictures finally come into focus.

Ashley takes a rogue approach to therapy: no BS, no wasting time, real results grounded in neuroscience, neuropsychology, and body-based practices. She helps individuals and couples learn their nervous systems, deepen intimacy, and reclaim their power. The approach is direct, effective, and honours the whole person; mind, body, and spirit.
Ashley's modalities are eclectic by design. She doesn't drink the koolaid of just one approach because building a strong therapeutic relationship matters more than any single method. The work draws from multiple disciplines to meet clients where they are and give them what actually works. Ashley works collaboratively alongside other holistic practitioners, recognizing that healing often requires an integrative team approach. Whether through breathwork, energy work, sound healing, or nervous system education, the work is science-backed, spiritually grounded, and unapologetically honest.

In this YTT : I'm most excited about being a part of something amazing in the world of mind body learning, in addition to rewriting the script for what yoga teachers bring to their students.

Hali has been both immersed in, and captivated by the world of yoga since she was a girl of just nine years old. Her very first teacher was her mother, who had just begun her own lifelong journey into the heart and soul of yoga and its myriad of practices.  In1987, when Hali was 19, she followed her mother to the north western Himalayas where she had been living and studying in an ashram yoga community for more than a decade. It was here, at the International Meditation Institute (I.M.I), where Hali would begin her nearly four decades of intense study in the many branches of yoga philosophy, scripture study, Sanskrit, chanting & meditation, as well as a deep immersion into the lineages of both hatha & kriyā yoga. In 1999, Hali decided to dedicate her life to sharing the wisdom of yoga, and so would become a full time yoga educator, international retreat leader, and trainer of yoga teachers worldwide. She is the author of two books: One Without a Second: the Seeds of Yoga Philosophy from Root to Sprout, and Yog and I: Living Philosophy for Teachers and Seekers. Hali is based in Toronto, Canada where she is known for her passion and enthusiasm in sharing the many philosophies and practices of yoga tradition to both students and teachers alike.
In this YTT: I am most excited about exploring how the non-physical aspects of yoga are the origin of this practice we have come to know and love. Bringing yoga philosophy to life, so that it can be lived day to day, is my life's passion.
