Mandorla Yoga Institute

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.

I feel very blessed and grateful to have completed my Yoga Teacher Training offered by Mandorla. Not only is Stefani an amazing heart centered teacher, but she's practical, diverse, extremely knowledgeable and empowering. She challenges your assumptions in a kind and loving way and then gives you the tools you need to empower yourself.Stef has helped me learn the foundations of stability and support...movement consciousness and intention. Stef teaches this in such a way that it actually transforms the way you think about your body and your movements. Stef has taught me how to incorporate these principles into all of my movements, on and off my mat. She has taught me to pay as much attention to what I do between the poses and how I get in and out of them, as I do while in them.For me it's never been about anything but, how to have a strong mind, happy and healthy body and a grateful soul. And the foundations Stef teaches are all of these and so much more. Stefani is a true Guru of our times. I feel blessed and honored to have had opportunity to work with her and the whole Mandorla community!Namaste

Stefani is a wonderful massage therapist. She is an intuitive healer who is dedicated to her profession and committed to lifelong learning. I haven't taken a yoga class with her but I'm sure it would be a real treat. Having a massage with Stefani is healing on many different levels. We're lucky that she decided to move to Calgary!

Mandorla Yoga Institute is the wisest, kindest, and warmest place to learn or be nourished in the art of sensitive, intuitive body and yoga therapy. During my time apprenticing in Yoga Therapy and Thai Yoga Massage, I was guided to learn how to touch with compassion, intuition, and deep loving kindness. Thank you Mandorla, you changed the way I work and be with others and the world!

I highly recommend training through the Mandorla Institute. I had a wonderful experience studying under Stefani to obtain my Thai Massage certification. You don’t just get Thai Massage knowledge, you acquire years of Stefani’s experience and extensive knowledge of trauma sensitivity, yoga, yoga therapy, RMT, on top of Thai Massage knowledge. I feel so prepared to take on clients, and inspired to continue my career and continued education. If you want a supportive, inspiring, well rounded program - this is the place for you!

My experience of Mandorla teachings has always been inclusive, compassionate, body centered and loving. The classes and teacher trainings are presented as a feminine approach that really resonates with my own need for connection, support and belonging. The content is inspiring and supports everyone to become individual and to truly embrace their own uniqueness fully within the transformation of becoming a Yoga Teacher or Yoga Thai Therapist. I highly recommend Mandorla for anyone who is read to deep dive into self exploration and the love of yoga.

I recommend Stefani's Yoga Course and Teacher Training for anyone who is ready to bring Yoga more fully into their lives. Stefani is an amazing Yoga teacher and a dedicated counselor who helped me through my transformative journey of becoming a Yoga Teacher. Her knowledge is diverse and extensive, offering the most amazing opportunities for change to blossom in her students. She has an excellent understanding of alignment and her classes are creative and inspiring every time.

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 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 didn't think possible in a very supported and safe way. I am so deeply grateful for this school and for Stef.

Stefani is has many many gifts & talents as a health & wellness practioner. She is first class for anything she does. I feel very blessed and am so grateful to have connected with her. Her yoga asana classes are transforming, comes from her heart and safely guides students through a class that is challenging on a variety of levels. As a Massage Therapist, she has such expertise with injuries and has so many tools in her tool kit that she pulls from. Stef understands hollistcally and practically how injuries affect a person. I always leave feeling amazing. As a yoga teacher trainer, Stef empowers her students to practically cultivate & embody their skills and really take yoga off of the mat. Stefani overall has such in depth knowledge and compassion with everything she does, Thank you!!!
