This certification enables you to skillfully work with people who have experienced and now suffer from traumatic stress by way of embodiment and self-awareness. You will learn how the impact of traumatic stress affects every aspect of our being.
This certification will equip you to better identify and understand trauma in the body and then help clients increase their resilience and improve their day to day functioning to create real and lasting transformation.
We will explore scope of practice and you will develop a highly attuned self-awareness to be able to safely and effectively facilitate this work, while maintaining healthy physical, psychological and emotional boundaries.
You will not only be able to effectively work with those who suffer from trauma, but through self-awareness and resourcing skills, you will be better able to regulate yourself and in turn, learn how to co-regulate with others.
This training is for movement teachers and coaches, therapists and counselors, first responders, nurses and doctors, physiotherapists and professionals working in the healthcare field. This training is for yoga instructors, Pilates instructors, personal trainers and more.
Not only is this training beneficial for health care and movement professionals, but also teachers and parents! To be regulated and know how to use these resources in daily life is an invaluable skill that will dramatically shift how you feel and interact with the world on a day to day basis.

2020 marks our third year of facilitating HEAL EVOLVE THRIVE’s Yoga Teacher training, always building and growing. We are constantly in pursuit of creating a yoga teacher training ahead of it’s time and take graduates feedback to evolve this offering each year!
It took us years (12+ years ) to be ready to run a Teacher Training- to feel fully and compassionately capable of holding the vision that we wish to fulfill with this YTT. Starting with the name- HEAL EVOLVE THRIVE.
May all of our thoughts, actions and service be purposeful and from a personal place of health + vitality! May we heal, evolve and thrive ourselves to truly come from a place of purpose and health, so that we may inspire others to remember their own purpose, health and vitality.

Grant Hutchinson- Registered Psychotherapist
Buddhist Meditation Teacher + Yoga Teacher
Grant began teaching yoga and meditation in 2005 following his yoga and meditation studies and training in India and South East Asia. The underlying motivation of his teaching is present moment embodied experience whether on the yoga mat or meditation cushion, in the office, in traffic or with loved ones.
The indivisibility of spiritual practice and daily life has been fundamental to Grant’s orientation. His teaching delves into the richness and relevance of these practices in our lives, right now. Grant approaches these teachings as self-study; a means of grappling with what is underneath the form or appearance to co-create ways for each of our own specific bodies and minds to explore practice in an accessible and sustainable way.
Grant has studied meditation in Hatha Yoga, Theravadin and Soto Zen Buddhist traditions. He lived for close to two years at Tassajara, the San Francisco Zen Centre’s Monastic training centre in the mountains of Northern California and has sat differing length retreats at other centres in India, Sri Lanka, the US and Canada. He studied for many years with Michael Stone.
As another means of exploring the interface between practice and life, Grant began his private psychotherapy practice in 2018 and expects to complete his five year Gestalt training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto in the Spring of 2019.

why this training?
Here what our past participants have to say :
“This Yoga Teacher Training is like no other. This is experience will change your life, soothe your soul, make your heart sing and transform every aspect of your life. Maddi and Trish graciously share their wisdom, offering all that you need to become the best version of you and become a Yoga Teacher too!” Sarah- Nurse
"To work with Trish and Maddi is to experience freedom from judgment, responsibility and thought without conditions, expectations or goals. It is to enter a realm of playful, light hearted, exploration of yourself. It is life changing, expansive and fulfilling. It is pure joy, love and light. It is letting go of what no longer serves you and allowing grace, intuition and guidance to consume you. It is simply magic that must be experienced to be believed." -Lisa RMT
“Trish and Maddi are a gift to this world and it is such an honour for them to share their knowledge. They hold a safe and secure container where I always felt that I could grow into myself, share, and come as I was. This Yoga Teacher Training was such a beautiful gift, and I am forever grateful to Trish and Maddi for sharing it with us. Thank you thank you thank you.” - Taylor- Social Worker
Just like with yoga, it is not just about the postures we practice. Yoga is about self-discovery, self-development and self-empowerment. So is this course.” - Erin- Performer/Dancer
“Best investment I’ve made in myself! Maddi and Trish are amazing teachers and their Yoga Teacher Training will change you!”- Lisa
