hey! i’m sylvie, yoga educator + yin yoga specialist


After finishing my 200hr YTT, I craved more guidance in planning and leading yoga classes. I wanted to create more depth and balance for my students. . It wasn’t until I took a Yin YTT in Spain in 2019 that things changed. That’s when my students began having deeper, more transformational experiences in my classes, and this is when I found my confidence as a teacher.

I’ve been developing this course over the last 7 years and I’m ready to hand over my knowledge.

I know how hard it can be to find your voice as a teacher. That’s why this training provides clear frameworks, practical tools, and mentorship from someone who’s been there.

With nearly a decade of teaching experience and 15 years creating workshops, I lead Yin Yoga and SUP Yoga Teacher Trainings, retreats, and classes across the globe. I specialize in hatha, yin, vinyasa, SUP yoga, and outdoor yoga, bringing the perspective of a seasoned educator to this course.

Teaching yoga can feel isolating without mentorship or a support system, which is why this course is in-person in Northern Ontario because community matters.

Training with me means you’ll gain mentorship, ready-to-use frameworks, and the confidence to teach with clarity and your authentic voice, so your classes can truly transform from the inside out.

"I was a bit nervous at first, wondering if I had enough experience to join, but from the moment I arrived, I felt completely supported. The in-person experience of embodying and workshopping each pose with a community was incredible. I loved the reflection circles and teaching workshops..they gave me practical tools I could immediately apply. The workbook was so easy to use as a reference guide, and I’ve already seen a real improvement in my classes. Students have even noticed and shared that my classes feel more thoughtful and balanced now. This training gave me confidence, guidance, and a sense of connection that I didn’t know I was missing."

"Sylvie’s mentorship gave me the confidence to put myself out there and start teaching. She met me where I was at and gave me hands-on, practical advice that got me out of my head. She breaks everything down into manageable steps so that you can truly find your voice as a teacher. Her laid back, easy going approach empowered me to step outside my comfort zone and trust in my abilities. I am eternally grateful for Sylvie and her mentorship, it’s everything a new teacher needs and more. I have really grown and flourished with her guidance” "
