Yoga Teacher Training - that will give you the level of growth you are looking for.
You keep choosing yoga… not because it’s trendy.
But because it’s the only place your nervous system exhales.
Your body is asking for education, not more willpower. Not another program that tells you to breathe and trust the universe. Real science. Real practice. In a room, together, in the Okanagan.
You don’t need a reason beyond yourself.
Does any of this sound like you?
You are an educated individual who’s been taught things about your body that just don’t hold up to scrutiny.
You feel overwhelmed by the hundreds of YTTs and Instagram yoga gurus out there.
You doubt you will ever actually teach, but instead crave yoga certification as milestone in your personal journey of continued evolution.
What if Yoga wasn’t an escape… But the system that rewired how you live, work, and respond?
You are worth this. Whether or not you ever stand in front of a class.
If only you had more energy, felt better and were less tired, you could be less reactive and more calm.
Does any of this sound like you: You wake up feeling stuck and needing a change. You reach for your phone (code for scrolling) with this underlying, gnawing sensation that there is more out there for you.
The daily hustle and grind just isn’t cutting it for you anymore. It’s like you’re living in someone else’s life and you wonder how you got here.
Yoga isn’t just movement - it’s nervous system education.
For people who feel calm on the mat and overwhelmed everywhere else.
For people who feel calm on the mat and overwhelmed everywhere else.
Yoga Isn’t the Point. Regulation Is.
Research in Frontiers in Psychiatry (Schleinzer et al., 2024) confirms yoga as a clinically meaningful, non-pharmacological intervention for stress regulation. This is the science behind the practice, and it's what we teach.
From the first time you tried out a yoga class, you felt a connection. You can’t quite pinpoint what it was about it exactly: the movements, focusing on your breath, or the peacefulness of the practice, but you’re drawn to know more.
“It was like 17 days of therapy… it showed me what I am capable of when I put myself first.”

Yoga teacher training is not just for those wanting to become an instructor. It is a rich learning experience that will change how you feel about yourself, and how you see the world.
Real Education, Real Impact.
Give your nervous system what it’s craving.
Every training and workshop we run is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create, to the way each day flows.
In person, small cohorts, evidence-based yoga education.
Navigating your 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training course is overwhelming.
Are you in search of avoiding mediocre Yoga training courses that won’t give you the level of growth you are looking for?
We understand the struggle… and have been there before:
Do you fear you may not get your money’s worth and the training will not match your expectations?
Are you uncertain how to evaluate the credibility of schools and providers/instructors out there to ensure you receive high-quality training?
Do you question pseudoscience claims by the wellness industry?
Are you overwhelmed with options including online ones, and you struggle to determine which one is the best course for you?
Are you worried that you are not an advanced Yogi and may not have the skills or level of experience as some of the other students?
Other trainings ask you to trust the teacher. Ours teaches you to trust yourself

You will witness expert, trauma-educated teachers in action. And it will open your eyes. Your Yoga practice will be forever changed. People tell us all the time how this training has changed how they experience Yoga - and we take it as a compliment.
A science-based yoga school set in the beautiful Okanagan, Yoga Science School is a holistic wellness organization to support and empower you with science-backed Yoga education.
Actually Educational Yoga Training that will Forever Change Your Life
We were tired of seeing people injured in Yoga classes taught by teachers who didn’t fully understand anatomy, or didn’t know how to intentionally plan classes that would allow peoples nervous systems to fully soften. We were frustrated by instructors more interested in the aesthetics of the postures than guiding students on a safe Yoga journey.
We set out to change this.
The Yoga Science School was born out of our respect for Yoga and our desire to teach it in a safe and neuroscience-grounded way.
Aligned and aware, we are a group of experienced and highly qualified Yoga teachers, community builders, and devoted to supporting YOU.

Combining her background in psychology and social work, Josee has become an advocate for mental health and trauma-informed practice.
