I loved every single second of the training course. I arrived in cancun to start training. Unfortunately, my suitcase did not. Lisa and Kevin called the airline to ensure that my case arrived with me asap and the lovely ladies who were doing the course loaned me some kit to keep me going. The food was amazing. Lisa, Kevin and Candice were always on hand for any questions, organised additional trips and gave tips on places to go on our day off. Nothing was too much trouble. I won't spoil it, but they also gave lots of thoughtful small tokens to keep us going through the training. Steph, our teacher, gave 110% every single day. I have no idea where she gets her energy from. Steph was enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgable about anatomy, philosophy and, of course, all variations of yoga. Steph has trained under some of the most recognisable names in yoga. You are very much in safe hands with her. She provides lots of encouragement and certainly brought out the best in me. All of the students taking the course with me were amazing individuals with their own interesting and astounding journeys/backgrounds. An absolutely life changing experience for me and I cannot recommend the school enough to others. ISLA MUJERES JANUARY

I am beyond grateful for my experience with Kootenay Yoga School on Isla Mujeres- Island of women! From the very beginning the entire team created such a life changing experience. With ease of logistics and accommodations that catered nourishing meals and breathtaking access to the Island, I feel super honored to have been able to grow with this experience. Our instructors were amazing with each bringing their own passion to their teachings. Sarah and EJ created a safe environment to allow us to explore and gain a deeper understanding of yoga and ourselves. The course content was well organized and the classes created opportunities to explore teaching styles, provide feedback, and gave us the tools to leave the Island ready to teach. I am humbled each day for this experience and would love to take any other training or workshops hosted by Kootenay Yoga School! ISLA MUJERES DECEMBER

I did not know what to expect form this YTT but I was so pleasantly surprised by how thorough and enthusiastic Stephania was as a teacher. I learned so much about anatomy and alignment. I was very inspired by her passion for Iyengar yoga, it made me more open to learning styles of yoga I haven't tried yet. The training really reinvigorated my love for yoga and my personal practice in a way I was not expecting. The shala is beautiful and is was so nice to practice outdoors among the tropical foliage. The food was great and there was lots of variety every day. Lisa is a gracious host and responded to any questions or needs asap. There is a beautiful beach a 5 min walk away. Truly a wonderful experience! ISLA MUJERES DECEMBER

This has to have been the highlight of my life so far - the location was incredible, the program is carefully designed to be logical and flowing, and the staff really care about the students. I booked a shared room - in the description it says up to 4 people, which worried me a little, but upon arriving I was very happy to see the rooms were spacious and comfy. We had a small sitting area and even a kitchen to prepare an early morning coffee! The pool was beautiful. Placed directly in amongst tropical gardens. It was the perfect temperature for cooling down and relaxing in free time! The property itself is located around a two minute walk from the bay. The beach in the bay is quiet and stunning. I would say the nicest beach on the island - less populated and more relaxed. In the opposite direction around three minutes was the Caribbean cliffs. Such a magical spot to meditate and unwind - just strikingly beautiful. The food. What can I say. I do not think that I have ever eaten such wonderful / colorful vegetarian food. The staff sincerely put attention into presentation and nutritional support to us! From morning Noni shots, to live music while eating tamales....it was always an experience! The program was more full than I had expected - we really dove in deep and I felt like I really left a teacher. While the days were long, it was so interesting - none of us felt tired or worn down. It was really inspiring! I highly recommend taking this program! ISLA MUJERES SEPTEMBER

What an incredible two weeks on Isla Mujeres! I am so glad I took the time to come do this training! From the very beginning, all of the staff were so great. Lisa was so friendly and quick to respond to emails, questions etc. Kandice brings such a warm and welcoming energy to the group and I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to practice and learn from our instructor, Marcia. She was so sweet and so kind, she gracefully held space for everyone in the group, and always brought laughter and fun to each session. Every morning she led us through beautiful flows and meditations and she passed on so much knowledge that has made me feel so excited and inspired to explore my yoga practice deeper and in ways that I didn't know how to before. The days are long, but SO fulfilling. The course content was well organized, thorough and I walked away with a deeper understanding of yoga, new explorations of my own practice and feeling confident to teach. Spending two weeks here made it so hard to leave! Thank you, thank you for such a lovely journey. I would highly recommend this experience with Kootenay Yoga School and would absolutely do it again!

This training was amazing from start to finish!!!! The shared rooms were very comfortable despite the Mexican heat. There are fans in every room, a large living room, a shared kitchen and a hot shower at all times! The food is super varied, colorful, tasty and delicious. Everything is fresh with lots of local specialties (tacos, guacamole, etc). The daily schedule is well defined. The program is full in two weeks but you still have time to rest: moment of solitude, small siestas, refreshment at the swimming pool etc. A magnificent small beach is accessible within 5 minutes of walking! My favorite was obviously our incredible teacher Marcia. She is super fun, attentive to students and very open-minded. It animates the theory with debates and participatory discussions. Everyone feels included and respected. She has a contagious joie de vivre and you can feel her passion through her teaching. Everyone loves it! Finally, Keven and Candice were present on site to answer our questions throughout our stay. You feel really good and taken care of with all the staff present on site.
