“I've had the opportunity to work out at Reps many times when I am in the London area. The owner Katerina Jackson is very knowledgeable friendly and makes me feel like home whenever I'm in town. If i lived in the area I would be training there full time.”
“Great place to workout. I was very nervous starting but the coaches and owners were very welcoming and helping me with all difficult workout stuff. I highly recommend CrossFit Elgin!!”
“I'm someone who is very intentional about where I invest my time, energy, and money, especially when it comes to my education and personal growth. When I decided to pursue my yoga teacher training, I didn’t just want a certification — I wanted to learn from someone whose teaching style, energy, and values felt right for me.
There were three things that initially drew me to Dominique's program.
First was the flexibility. As someone working a full-time job while also being a full-time mom, I needed a program that could realistically fit into my life without requiring me to completely rearrange everything else. The flexibility of the course allowed me to pursue something I genuinely wanted for myself while continuing to manage my other responsibilities.
Second, it was important to me that the training was Yoga Alliance certified. Although I had practiced yoga as a student, stepping into the role of a teacher was completely new territory for me. Knowing that I was receiving training that met recognized standards gave me an important foundation and confidence as I entered the yoga teaching world.
But what ultimately made me feel comfortable choosing this program was Dominique herself. From the introductory video, I really connected with her energy and authenticity. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what I appreciated just as much was her willingness to acknowledge when something needed to be verified rather than simply giving an answer for the sake of giving one. To me, that shows integrity. No matter how experienced we become, none of us knows everything, and I have a lot of respect for someone who is confident enough to say, “Let me check that and get back to you.”
Now that I have completed the training and received my certification, I can genuinely say that I am so glad I chose this program.
One of the things I appreciated most was that we didn't wait until the end of the course to start teaching. We were encouraged to practise teaching from very early on, and looking back, I realize how important that was. Little by little, those opportunities helped me become more comfortable using my voice, guiding others and trusting myself as a teacher. By the time I completed the program, teaching didn't feel like something completely unfamiliar or intimidating anymore.
What has surprised me most is realizing just how much I actually learned. Sometimes you don't recognize your own growth while you're in the middle of it. But when I teach friends, family or others who I know will give me honest feedback, I've had people tell me, “Wow, you really know a lot,” especially considering that I've only been on this journey for a relatively short period of time.
Those moments make me realize how much knowledge, confidence and foundation I gained through this training. In many ways, the teacher I am becoming is a product of what I learned here.
I came into this course looking for flexibility, credibility and a teacher whose energy felt right for me. I walked away with all of those things, but also with knowledge, confidence and a genuine sense that I am prepared to continue growing into my own style of teaching.
I am incredibly grateful that I found this program, and I would absolutely recommend it to someone looking for a yoga teacher training that is flexible, supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely prepares you to step into the role of a teacher.”
