January 6 - November 27, 2027

integration, mentorship, and embodied practice.

community dedicated to helping you deepen your practice, refine
your teaching, and continue growing both personally and

Who is Hali Love?
Mom. Wife. Life Lover. Yoga Therapist.
Hali Love has spent her life devoted to the practice and evolution of yoga - not just as a teacher, but as a student first. For over 30 years, yoga has been the thread that has carried her through growth, reinvention, success, heartbreak, healing, and leadership.
Before moving to Costa Rica in 2009, Hali founded and operated three thriving yoga studios in Canada. Those spaces were more than businesses; they were communities where teachers were mentored, friendships were formed, and standards of integrity were set. She has taught at internationally recognized festivals including Wanderlust and The OM Yoga Show, served as a Lululemon Ambassador, and been featured on ESPN Women - experiences that expanded her platform, but never changed her devotion to the depth of the work.
With more than 10,000 hours of training and over 120 teacher trainings led across Canada, the United States, the UK, and Costa Rica, Hali has guided hundreds of retreats and mentored teachers at every stage of their careers. She is also the founder of Virtual Prana, an online yoga education platform designed to offer ongoing mentorship and lifetime access to meaningful study.
What truly shapes her teaching, however, is lived experience. After rebuilding her life following divorce, Hali consciously chose to create a life rooted in love, healthy boundaries, and personal responsibility. She is now happily married in a mutual, loving, and respectful relationship - a reflection of the inner work she teaches. She healed chronic asthma through yoga and studied psychology and subconscious restructuring to better understand resilience and transformation. Her work bridges nervous system science, somatics, leadership, and embodied integrity.
When you train with Hali, you are not simply learning how to sequence or cue more effectively. You are stepping into mentorship with someone who has built businesses, held communities, navigated reinvention, and continued to evolve both personally and professionally. Her approach is steady, grounded, and deeply human.
If you are ready to refine your craft, strengthen your voice, and lead from a place of embodied confidence and clarity, this training was created for you.
