What Our Graduates Say
Harry Webster
Edinburgh 200hr YTT Graduate
I recently completed the Tofino Yoga, 200 Yoga Teacher Training program in Edinburgh. And what an incredible experience it was!
It’s was an absolute privilege and pleasure to be taught by Dede and Nikki, their enthusiasm, dedication and knowledge was second to none!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Tofino Yoga to anyone and everyone. I look forward to the next time I get to practice with Tofino Yoga, thank you.
Peace, love and happiness
Nikki West
200hr YTT Graduate
My time at the Tofino 200hr YTT was life changing.
entered the training curious and timid, but in Dede, Dawn, Jane and Ricardo’s teachings I found the answers I never knew I was looking for.
The way they encourage us to dismantle the western perspective of Yoga and teach from a place of authenticity, and from our hearts, has helped me shape the career of my dreams.
I live in Europe now and joyously spread what I have learned to my students across many studios and cities, and am constantly receiving feedback that the world is hungry for what Dede and her graduates have to share.
The biggest takeaway I hold in my heart is that your practice doesn’t stop when you step off the mat, but to live your Yoga in all aspects is the gateway to a fulfilling and enriching life, and for this I could not be more grateful.
Alexis Rach
200hr YTT Graduate
Received my 200hr YTT through Tofino Yoga in April 2023, the most amazing and life changing experience in the most beautiful place.
Forever grateful for Dede, and her amazing staff who provided an amazing training, a safe space, and showed so much grace and love towards all the students who participated.
Forever grateful for this experience and the knowledge learnt. 20 hours away can’t keep me away from signing up for more education, and desperately needing another amazing class taught by the amazing instructor, Dede.
Miranda Bidaisee
200hr YTT Graduate
Completing my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Tofino Yoga under the guidance of Dede, Ricardo, Jane and Dawn was a truly transformative experience!
The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, offering a perfect balance of philosophy, anatomy, and hands-on practice
The course fostered a deep sense of community and personal growth with plenty of opportunities for self-reflection and refinement of teaching skills.
By the end, I felt fully equipped to guide others on their yoga journey with confidence and authenticity. Highly recommend for anyone looking to deepen their practice or start teaching!
Renee St-Godard
200hr YTT Graduate
I had the pleasure of participating in Tofino Yoga’s 200 hour training and it was the most transformational experience I’ve ever had.
The thoughtfulness, care, and genuine love for teaching yoga the teaching staff have is unmatched. I felt safe, supported, and knew I was in an environment to really grow as a student of yoga as well as a teacher.
I can’t recommend the original, authentic, Tofino Yoga enough to those looking for beach classes in the beautiful surroundings of Tofino, or an amazing teacher training experience in a gorgeous house filled with wonderful souls. Love and gratitude to Dede and her amazing team of teachers for everything that you do.
Nancy Patus
200hr YTT Graduate
I had the pleasure of taking the 200hr YTT at Tofino Yoga. What an incredible experience – the manual, instruction and beautiful environment far surpassed my expectations. The manual Dede developed is a trove of information that I continue to utilize.
In fact I was so happy with the education I received I returned this year to take the 100hr Yin/Restorative with Dede and Dawn. If you have the opportunity Tofino Yoga is the place to go 🙏🏼
