Feelvana 200 hour YTT
THIS is not your typical Yoga Teacher Training
This is where yoga meets nervous system work, therapy-informed practices, and real, human transformation.
If you’re craving more than poses…
If you want to understand yourself, your patterns, your body…
If you feel called to hold space for yourself or others
You’re in the right place.
Welcome to Feelvana.
A 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training rooted in connection, depth, and embodiment
Join us for an immersive, in-person training in Mexico where you will:
Learn to teach yoga with confidence and authenticity
Understand the nervous system and trauma-informed approaches
Deepen your relationship to your body, breath, and inner world
Build meaningful, lasting connections with a like-minded community
Experience what it means to truly feel and be with yourself
This isn’t about becoming a “perfect” teacher.
It’s about becoming a more connected, grounded, and embodied human who can guide others from that place.
Your next step
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to feel the pull.

There are a lot of Yoga Teacher Trainings out there.
This one is different.
What makes Feelvana different
We bridge yoga and therapy.
Led by Registered Psychotherapist Ashley Brodeur and senior teacher Ally Maz, this training integrates:
Somatic and nervous system education
Trauma-informed teaching principles
Mindfulness and self-inquiry practices
Traditional yoga philosophy and asana
You won’t just learn what to teach.
You’ll learn how to hold space safely, ethically, and intuitively.
This training is for you if…
You want to deepen your practice beyond the physical
You feel a pull toward teaching, guiding, or holding space
You’re curious about the nervous system, trauma, and embodiment
You’re in a season of growth, transition, or self-discovery
You value connection, authenticity, and meaningful conversation
This may not be for you if…
You’re only looking for a fitness-based certification
You want a large, impersonal training experience
You’re not open to self-reflection or inner work
The experience
Two weeks.
Immersed in nature.
Surrounded by community.
Held in a thoughtfully designed container.
Expect a balance of:
Daily movement + asana practice
Workshops and education
Group discussion and integration
Rest, reflection, and connection
This is a space where you get to slow down, tune in, and reconnect—while gaining the tools to support others in doing the same.
