Mandorla Yoga Institute

The reason I chose Mandorla Yoga over the many other places is the flexibility that is offered to have this course really work in your life. Being a mom, having a community that understands the unique challenges that may arise, is such a benefit and made such a difference in my journey.

Stefani provides such a heart-centered and healing approach, while sharing so much knowledge, and cultivating such thoughtfulness within her teaching approach. I feel very thankful to have come across Mandorla's yoga teacher training, and can truly say that I feel transformed from within by attending this program.

I feel very blessed and grateful to have completely my Yoga Teacher Training offered by Mandorla. Not only is Stefani an amazing heart centred teacher, she is practical, diverse, extremely knowledgeable and empowering! Stef challenges your assumptions in a kind & loving manner and then gives you the tools and support you need to empower yourself. Stef has helped me learn the foundations of stability and support...movement consciousness and intention. A true guru of our times!!!!!

I have worked with Mandorla both professionally and as a student. They are absolutely wonderful!! The classes are deeply insightful and heart centered. I have studied yoga and health for many years now, and still find myself learning fresh information with Mandorla, having exciting new revelations and being pushed to achieve things I didnt think possible in a very supported and safe way. I am so deeply grateful for this school and for Stef.

I feel very grateful to have journeyed through my yoga teacher training with the support and knowledge offered by Mandorla. The course content goes beyond asanas and explores the depths of yoga which have filtered into all aspects of my life. The space that has been cultivated is inclusive and supportive which is the perfect container for such transformative work. This training is truely more than just a YTT, it is personal development and exploration.

I had and still have the privilege of being one of Stef’s students. She brings so much knowledge, kindness, grace and support to every class she teaches. I looked for 3 years for a yoga teacher training that was the right fit for me. From our first conversation I knew Stef and Mandorla Yoga were the right choice. She has created a space where everyone is welcomed, encouraged and celebrated.

The yoga training I have taken with Stefani has been amazing. She is kind, compassionate, supportive, and so patient. Being a working mom, it is nice to find someone who understands when life gets crazy. She has so much knowledge and I have learned so much from her. I’m looking forward to learning much more and taking more training through Mandorla.

Great classes from a feminine perspective. Stephanie is an incredible senior teacher, her wisdom and years of experience shine through. I love the sensativity and trauma informed approch to classes.

In Mandorla, Stefani has created a nurturing, adaptable environment capable of supporting her students where they are at. Her skill and expertise permeate the space, and help students feel at ease. Her style of yoga allows participants to bring their whole selves to the mat — and leave with a surer sense of their own capacities. She does not pretend to be anything she is not, which helped me personally show up more authentically too. I love how family-friendly Mandorla is — how HUMAN friendly.

I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2017 at Mandorla Yoga and loved it so much I went on to do my Thai Yoga Massage training with her as well. Stefani is an amazing teacher. Extremely knowledgeable and open hearted Stefani has a wonderful way of holding space and encouraging her students as they learn and discover a whole new way of seeing and being. I learned so much about the practice of yoga and so much about myself. The training was exactly what I was looking for.

- Stefani allows life to get in the way of being a mentor/teacher: - takes months to get feedback (if that’s what it can be called) on homework. - online course were to be available for completion of program are STILL not available. - yoga therapy is too disconnected and can’t be implemented. - asks students to not come sick, but comes sick herself. - her child is around for too much of the teaching time and is a large distraction -constantly starts late and delivery is unprofessional
