Tania Brown
Eddy Toyonaga
With over a decade of teaching experience and a personal practice that began in 2004, Tania brings depth, authenticity and passion to every class she leads. She received her yoga teacher certification in 2013 in Hawaii and has been guiding students ever since through thoughtful, grounded movement with an emphasis on connection both within and with the world around them.
Eddy believes that the real practice of yoga is done off the mat as to him Yoga is Life itself.
With the influence of having been raised in a Buddhist household, Eddy enjoys incorporating heart quality themes in his classes with the intention to fuse the mind & heart together so to create a distance from one’s ego and instead to connect to the higher self.
Mission Statement
We offer both in-studio and online Yoga Teacher Trainings. Our online program caters to yogis who genuinely want to do the work of an in-person yoga teacher training but cannot make the schedule or the tuition work for them at this time.The majority of our program hours are 'live' despite being online. We will spend our real time online meeting hours practising, lecturing and leading workshops to build community with each group of trainees and to fully be available for discussions. We want this to feel very similar to our in-person trainings. Our program will fully facilitate this transformational learning experience, which we know is a very significant, challenging, emotional and life-changing course for many students. Both Brooke and Angie also offer and co-lead in-studio yoga teacher trainings and workshops with other organizations in the city of Calgary. We hope through our online programs to be able to meet and work with yogis from all around the world!
