I completed my 300hr Advanced Yoga Training with Wellness Connection Yoga in 2019 and to say it was a game changer is an understatement. I was completely blown away.

The training reshaped the way I think about and teach Yoga.

The team of teachers are highly skilled in their areas and make learning incredibly FUN!

Catherine’s expert knowledge of movement anatomy is quite incredible, as is her generosity of time and knowledge. I came away feeling empowered and with a new confidence in how and what I teach in my yoga classes. I was also delighted by the science based approach to yoga, the ‘myth-busting’ and the support and encouragement to develop a critical mindset when reviewing everything from yoga poses to the history and philosophy of yoga. The warmth and sense of humour of Catherine and her team ensured that the course was fun with lots of laughter from start to finish!

Catherine and the whole Wellness Connection team are the best of the best. The Wellness trainers are all highly trained and truly specialists at what they do. They so supportive and have nurtured a beautiful & global community of diverse yoga teachers.

If you’re looking for a fun, engaging, super interactive, science based yoga training school, this is it. I’ve completed 5 trainings with Wellness in the past 4 years — I keep coming back for more!

Sign up for one of their YTTs and I promise you have huge amount of fun, meet an amazing group of fellow trainees and build the skillset you need to be an awesome yoga teacher.

I did my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training through Wellness Connection and the experience changed my life irrevocably. The in-depth Asana teaching, mindfulness and meditation lectures, Philosophy discussions, broadened my mind. I now teach Yoga at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital on Wednesday afternoons as part of the Staff Wellness program. I can wholeheartedly recommend Wellness Connection Yoga School for the teacher training of a lifetime – you will walk away strong, empowered, and ready to change the world with all the physical, mental and emotional tools you need.

The Wellness Connection trainings are eye-opening, inspiring, challenging, and most of all: incredibly intelligent, and also so much fun! I love Wellness Connection's evidence-based approach, Catherine makes sure to only share information based on the latest (and trustworthy!) research and encourages everyone to think critically and question everything.

Catherine, Laura and the whole team of teachers are so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, inspiring, and helpful - even after the training ended. I strongly recommend this course

Catherine and her team are passionate and knowledgeable about their subjects. You will learn a lot about the body, you will learn a lot about yoga myths, you will question why you believe or teach certain things and you will grow in your own practice.

There will be lots of laughter, you will be amazed at how content rich, in depth and diverse this Yoga course is.

As a write this I am a little envious of anyone starting out on this journey with Catherine and her team. I wish I could do it again!

I completed my 200hr YTT at the Wellness Connection in 2019, loved it so much that I had to come back for the 300hr YTT 3 years later! The offerings at Wellness Connection are supported by science and research which is such a refreshing approach. Further, teaching one how to approach what yoga was in the past, what it is today and what it could possibly look like in the future. All the teachers here are well versed in their areas of yoga, they pick your brains, no question is too silly, no answer is either right or wrong all the more to get you thinking. Not to mention the strength training I never knew I needed! I came here to learn, have fun, and become a stronger practitioner/teacher simply because of my love for yoga and I got all of that and more.

What sets the Wellness Connection Yoga apart from other teacher trainings - was their inclusive and evidence-based curriculum. One of my highlights was the beautiful studio; nestled between greenery at a hill of a mountain overlooking Hout Bay - I cannot imagine a more beautiful space to become a yoga teacher! The teachers were amazing and made sure we learned a lot while also keeping the classes fun and active.

Through good guidance I was able to master poses that I didn’t think I ever would be able to do - so fun!

I did the my 200 & 300hr with Wellness Connection. I have further done another teacher training with another studio.

And I can say that what the Wellness Connection gives you is value for not only off the mat but also beyond. I felt well equipped to teach immediately after the first teacher training. The 300hr however takes you deeper in terms of your teaching and leaves you feeling competent and confident and advised to teach all levels of yoga and different kinds of bodies. The teachers are amazing and incredibly helpful and always available to support you in a way that encourages you to learn. Such a fun, engaging and transformative experience!

The course was absolutely brilliant and transformed my teaching completely! It was not only anatomically extremely informative but loads of fun too. My own practice has improved tremendously as well.

I am very thankful for all the continued help (you can always ask anything at any time!). I would definitely recommend the course to anyone who wishes to improve their own practice and teaching.

Getting my training at Wellness Connection, supported me BEYOND my expectations. Times and dates were structured and well planned, manuals were user friendly, the practicals - whew I’ve never ‘yoga’ed’ so much in my life!

There were lots of giggles and laughs as yoga myths were busted & I gained a yoga community.

I am ever so grateful for the sound yoga teachers that have guided and supported me through and through.

I found the course mentally stimulating and physically rewarding. If you like the researched-based, open, challenging side of yoga Wellness Connection is your home.

Even as a decade-long meditator, I also had a beautiful experience taking Monique's 12hr Mindfulness and meditation course. She has dedicated years of study and practice and then unpacks that praxis into a beautiful, neat package.

I had such a great experience with Wellness Connection and it was during lockdown so we were online!

The team were VERY professional and worked hard to make the online 300hr a success. I’ve improved my own practice and introduced more specific topics in my classes.

I HIGHLY recommend Wellness Connection Yoga.

Catherine is an exceptional teacher who puts her heart and soul into every class she teaches. Catherine possesses a knowledge and wisdom way beyond that of any yoga teacher I have encountered.

Her knowledge of anatomy is exceptional in the Yoga world and her personal approach to teaching was something I had never encountered before, nor since.

I would absolutely recommend the TT to anyone who loves Yoga as much as I do.

This is SUCH an empowering course.

I now understand how to inspire and assist my students on a much deeper level, from a grounding in knowledge and compassion. And in return I have seen my students learn and flourish.

Now, long after the completion of the 500hr TTC, we teachers are all still connected at the Wellness Connection, continuing to learn, and share our experiences.

The education I received on my Yoga Teacher training put me on my path to work on an amazing Yoga path.

I would not have done this if not for the high standard of training I received at the Wellness Connection

I completed my 200hr with Wellness Connection in 2017 and when I saw the online 300hr training I jumped at the chance to join. I had absolutely no reservations about the course being online. Catherine and the team of specialists ensure that all the modules are fully understood through homework, videos, live debates and live classes.

This is a truly fantastic teacher training course, and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to gain more knowledge or become a yoga teacher.

The Wellness Connection's advanced 300hr YTT is one of the best trainings I have done internationally.

The teachers are very insightful and professional. The yoga classes are creative, intensive, and allowed me to push my practice to the next level. I highly recommend this training, especially if you are looking to deepen your yoga anatomy knowledge. This is a truly fantastic teacher training course, and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to gain more knowledge or become a yoga teacher.

This 300hr YTT totally exceeded my expectations!

I was challenged mentally and physically and have grown both as a practitioner and teacher.

I loved diving deep into the anatomy and biomechanics of what we do. The myth busting and philosophy debates, truly allowed me question what I teach and why I teach it.

This course truly exceeded my expectations and has taken my practice to the next level.

The guidance, wealth of science-backed knowledge and true passion shared from the teaching team was invaluable!

Highly recommend this training to anyone seeking personal development and deepening their knowledge of this beautiful practice.

I couldn't have asked for a better course and teachers. Catherine is so knowledgeable on all anatomy related questions; the research she shares is of the highest quality and always up-to-date - I couldn't find another course keeping up with all the latest research. Laura is a sequencing genius and her passion for working with yoga teachers fills the room!

This course will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about yoga and teachings in the most wonderful way.

I could not have chosen a better school. The school location, firstly, is beautiful and one feels very much in touch with nature. The teachers are through and excellent. As a yoga practitioner, for many years, I still learnt so much and built up the confidence to start teaching soon after finishing my training.

Catherine and Laura were both patient when they needed to be, but also challenged me as required. I loved my experience.

I found the Wellness Connection 300 hour YTT to be a profound and brilliant experience. The course is special in that it is led by a variety of incredible instructors who all provide unique insights on many different topics. We were able to strengthen our personal practice, we were encouraged to continually question and challenge what we knew in order to grow exponentially.

This training also opens up a network of teachers all sharing their thoughts, tips, skills and experiences which I found to be an invaluable bonus to all that we learnt along the way.

I would highly recommend this training.

Catherine and her team not only ensure a high standard of teaching but also an equally high degree of enthusiasm with a lot of laughter.

You gain the self understanding to progress your yoga practice and your teaching, empowering you to take your confidence to the highest level.

Catherine is the most inspirational yoga teacher and incredibly generous of her time and knowledge.

This is Catherine.

Catherine runs a successful studio in Cape Town.

Catherine is super - talented, skilful and smart,

and after completing my 300hr is focused on teaching

her own trainings.
