YTT Testimonials

Kelsey Wishik's Trauma Conscious Yoga teacher training was everything I could have imagined and so much more. I've wanted to pursue a 200 YTT for many years but for many of the common reasons had resisted. Reasons ranging from finances, not feeling "good" enough at yoga, and time. I finally quieted these barriers and registered for Kelsey's class. I had never taken a yoga class with Kelsey but selected her program because it was Trauma Conscious, more affordable, and aligned best with my schedule. Never have I been so happy to have made a decision about someone on faith. Kelsey is a cool breeze and a deep river. She and the students that also gravitated to our cohort were nourishing, deep and open thinking, and quite beautiful examples of humanity. They warmed my tired spirit and formed a community of deep exploration and growth. This growth included physical asanas (postures) as expected, and more importantly it was grounding, uplifting, and deep in the work of the spirit and soul. I am cautious to use this word as it is becoming somewhat of a buzz word used to sell wellness and health, but it was healing in a parallel way to the ways that we learned about helping mend nervous systems from difficult events and experiences.

—YTT Student
If you are considering a YTT, yoga class, or other growth opportunity, I recommend Kelsey Wishik's offerings with my deepest regard. She is a gem and I am grateful to now call her friend and teacher. -Mary C.

—YTT Student
I cannot say enough about how wonderful my yoga teacher training (YTT) experience was with Kelsey. At the risk of coming across as melodramatic, working with Kelsey is truly life-changing. I was unaware of the depth of healing that would occur through training, and I attribute this growth to the way Kelsey opens space for students to tap into their own innate, inner wisdom. Her dedication to her practice is empowering and her authenticity gently guides students to develop the same level of loving commitment to their own practice. Her knowledge of all things yoga- meditation, breathwork, asanas, anatomy, spirituality, philosophy, and more is top-notch. Training with Kelsey helped me develop a renewed sense of self-worth and empowerment I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. If that is something you’re looking for, I highly recommend attending a YTT with Kelsey- a wise and kind guide, teacher, and friend. ----

—YTT Student
Catalyst Consciousness is a deeply integrative yoga training, one that prompts your journey into the innermost human feelings of self-knowing and healing. It has forever implanted a safe place within––the experience of yoga–– through my embodying of its practice as a student, teacher, and a life-long commitment. Kelsey thoroughly guides and shares the relevant spiritual philosophies and asanas: a generally transformative teaching model that can ascend one upon their unique yoga path. Truly a magical opportunity to dive inwardly.

YTT Student
By learning, cultivating, and sharing harmony with the group and Kelsey’s compassionate guidance, a life-changing personal practice develops. What made Catalyst so special is how it transformed my lifestyle emotionally, beyond the poses and far beyond the physical mat. The months following are a time of inner-expansion: yoga has quickly revealed itself as the one constant, the base-line, and true necessity for any given day. Whether it’s breathing exercises, a deep stretch, or an extensive flow, its underlying mindful devotion will remain. Thanks to Catalyst, I am armed with a spiritual awareness of yoga’s continued influence on the self and collective.
