Student Testimonials

Things are going amazing, I’m teaching anywhere from 5-9 classes a week. I will feel forever thankful I chose Tofino Yoga, I feel as if everything you guys taught me and preached now fully align with my values as a person and the type of I aspire to be.. Authentic! I know for a fact I’d be a different teacher if I had gone else where, so THANK YOU for all you’ve taught me, my journey is just beginning. I hope to one day return back to Tofino and teach classes for you.

Over the past year my teaching career has taken huge leaps and I am teaching across multiple studios (in Edinburgh). You taught me how to teach Yoga from an authentic place that isn’t about holding certain poses or flexibility, but about compassion and self actualization - something I was blind to before my YTT.

I have been hired on at the Canada Games Center as a substitute teacher for the summer and for my own class in the fall. Thank you AGAIN for the way you taught us to be true to ourselves and teach yoga with the use of our own personality. Thanks again.

I am missing everything about 'Tofino Yoga YTT 2022', including You!!, the rest of the Faculty, all of my classmates, the coconut-infused quinoa with fruit, the outdoor shower, the smell of the ocean, your beautiful French accent, Ricardo's singing and guitar playing ... ALL OF IT! The experience was a "radical transformation" for me

Ricardo Allen

E-RYT 500 | Tofino Yoga Teacher Training Faculty Member

Ricardo is a dedicated yoga practitioner forever inspired by the eight limbs of yoga. After experiencing multiple fractures to his limbs along with a collapsed lung, the eventual chosen treatment of rehabilitation was the power of yoga. Ricardo’s music degree and natural musical talents have been the greatest gift to his yoga students, as his classes are infused with the chanting of sacred mantras (yogic chants). Ricardo’s passion for yoga history, philosophy and stories of the ancient texts inspires him. Ricardo lives in a beautiful lakeside off-grid home, that he built himself and shares with his two dogs and incredible life partner Jane.
