    Trainings of the highest standards in Yoga Education. The courses at Wellness Connection are evidence-based, with up-to-date, relevant, wide-ranging content taught by experts in their field, in a safe environment that encourages exploration, questioning, investigating, practising and a huge amount of fun. I can't recommend highly enough.

    Wellness Connection provides an evidence based YTT which is of high quality and always up to date. I am grateful that I was able to be trained by Catherine and her fellow teachers. It is a very profound course, that has a focus on anatomy, which is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend joining their trainings.

    With all the classes, assignments and teaching exercises I learnt and gained so much in depth knowledge and understanding at the Wellness Connection Yoga teacher training. They are one of the best Yoga schools in Cape Town! I was very happy with the way we were taught anatomy. They are the best and very detailed on every level. The video content is a wonderful tool they gave us to further our training and knowledge.

    I had an amazing & life-changing experience on the 200hr training at Wellness Connection and would highly recommend it to anyone interested. Laura and Amy were wonderful lead teachers, and everyone else involved was equally as kind, generous and knowledgable. The dynamic of the group was so lovely and supportive, and the studio itself is a beautiful sanctuary in the forest. I can't wait to return for further training!

    I would highly recommend Wellness Connection to anyone wanting to do their Teacher training or any of their other courses. I adore all the teachers involved, they are epically amazing teachers with vast and up to date knowledge but they are also just amazing human beings. Wellness Connection really is like a Yoga University. I've learnt sooooo much via their courses but also just from their social media accounts. Just an amazing school!

    I would recommend Wellness Connection and Catherine's team to anyone wanting to learn anything about yoga. They have a depth and scope of knowledge unlike any other school I have encountered.

    A fantastic 300 hour teacher training course and highly recommended. We were taught to practice, research, question and discover by an excellent team of teachers who not only have an incredible knowledge but also a great sense of fun. Catherine Wilkinson was a huge inspiration and extremely generous of her time and knowledge. It was hard work but so rewarding!

    Carol thank you so much for your amazing comment. And for joining us on the 300hr - especially since you did your 200hr elsewhere. We are so glad you found the course thought provoking.
