"Having Hali as my teacher and guide has been an enormous privilege and a growing experience for me. I had always wanted to do this teacher training, but felt insecure and suffered from major impostor syndrome in the beginning. Hali gave me the personal development tools to work on these obstacles. Her curiosity is contagious and she has unlocked my inner yoga nerd (so much so that I am now also enrolled in the Advanced Yoga Teacher Training). This has been/is a life-changing experience and I am so glad to have had such a kind, devoted and generous teacher by my side. Thank you, Hali!"

Hali's Yoga Teacher Training was incredible and changed my life forever. Words cannot describe the experience. Her style is unique - she is kind but challenging, brings in the heart of Yoga and goes beyond what you can expect. The Asana's themself are incredible, but all the limbs of Yoga are studied and given importance. Her 7 bodies approach gets one in touch with all aspects of the body/mind/soul/spirit/emotions/energy/intellect. Then the anatomy of the body and postures helps to correct negligent posture and habits. Just go experience this for yourself. You will thank yourself. Hali Love is AMAZING. Richard Thiland
I absolutely LOVE Hali's yoga classes at Playa Negra Yoga. Hali is an incredible teacher and her classes are so well balanced -- challenging, thoughtful, and the perfect pace. Hali brings such a wonderful energy to her classes and I really enjoyed my time with her. The yoga studio is a sweet light-filled space close to the beach in Playa Negra. Highly recommend! Tara Hilliard
Hali is the best ! If you are looking for teacher training or personal development I highly recommend Hali’s programs . I have taken 2 yoga teacher trainings and just started a personal development program. She is very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. The programs have a great flow and are packed with amazing tools . With her programs you are not just learning how to become a “yoga teacher” . She ensures the programs work for you so you don’t feel stressed or overwhelmed . Jesslyn Gorrie
Working with Hali is life changing. Her spirit, enthusiasm, passion and dedication with all the right boundaries is inspiring. I am doing a Personal Development program with Hali and have also participated in retreats. The PD program is perfect for my busy schedule as I can adapt how I see fit. I don't feel pressured or overwhelmed because I did not manage to get through it however it does keep you accountable and motivates you to keep moving forward which I love. The retreat in Playa Negra, well it is being in a little piece of heaven. I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Grateful for the connection with Hali and recommend to everyone regardless where you are at in life. Rachel Kershaw
Hali's studio is so special. I first stumbled upon this studio on a solo trip to Costa Rica and it changed my life. Hali is an amazing human and teacher. She’s incredibly knowledgeable yet leads from a place of intuition. She teaches for her students not herself, meets you where you’re at and inspires you to step into your power. I can not recommend spending time in this magical space enough. Her studio offers a wide range of classes and I love how they incorporate mediation, philosophy, and pranayama into many of their offerings. The classes empower you to understand yourself at all levels of your being and each class I walk away with an insight about myself. I’ve taken multiple yoga teacher trainings and Hali’s is by far the best I’ve come across. The material is so comprehensive and is rooted in the true foundation of yoga philosophy. She not only covers asana, but ensures you have a strong understanding of all elements of yoga. I also appreciate how integrated Ayurveda is in her trainings as the two sciences were always meant to be taught together. Hali’s professional development program is transformational. I love how it is a blend of self study and live meet ups so you can work through it at your own pace. The material is quite comprehensive and blends western and eastern modalities to provide you so many tools to learn about yourself. Hali has changed my life and I can’t recommend working with her enough! Bre Blaney
After 2 years of practicing Multi Barre, I took the online teacher training course from Hali Love. This comprehensive program not only equipped me with a profound understanding of the subject matter but also offered a plethora of resources that contributed to my success. One of the most commendable aspects of this online course was the flexibility it provided. The well-structured curriculum and user-friendly interface allowed me to progress at my own pace, accommodating my busy schedule and ensuring a positive learning experience. The modular design of the course allowed me to revisit challenging concepts and delve deeper into areas where I felt the need for additional practice, reinforcing my understanding and confidence in the material. Upon completion of the course, the certification I received validated my newfound expertise and opened doors to lucrative opportunities in the field. I am now able to monetize my skills doing something I am genuinely passionate about. Thank you, Hali! Andrea Ellis
I took the multi barre training a few years ago and I can not recommend Hali enough! It was such an amazing experience I am currently taking her advanced yoga teacher training. The curriculum is in depth and paced in alignment with each individual student. It’s a truly empowering experience. Hannah S
After teaching for many years, I advanced my training with Hali's YTT and it was invaluable. My teaching changed in small and BIG ways after completing the training and so much of that was through the personal development and growth that was woven throughout the training. Hali's depth and breadth of knowledge and authentic, warm spirit took my teaching to a new level. I will always be grateful for Hali! Erin S
I am currently attending Hali's 500- hour professional yoga teacher training, as well as completing her Personal Development Course & I cannot recommend her programs enough! The experience has been truly life changing & I still have several months to go :) Hali delivers a perfectly paced curriculum that both empowers & inspires her students. What sets the programs at Playa Negra Yoga apart is their ability to nurture personal growth & breed confidence without the addition of overwhelm. I am so grateful to have found such a beautiful community to complete my trainings with & highly recommend Hali's programs to all! Callie F
I am currently enrolled in Hali’s personal development program AND her 500 hr YTT course via zoom from Canada. Hali’s well thought out program material, relaxed/zero stress approach and reliable support makes it easy to stay on track and feel empowered. She is a wealth of knowledge and experience, but yet stays so humble and is a complete joy to learn from. She makes every single person feel so special, connected and important. I can’t wait to join her and the other teachers at Playa Negra in person in March! So grateful! Sarah H
"I had the honor of taking Hali Love's 500 hr YTT in amazing Costa Rica, and I will be forever grateful for her insight, knowledge, openness and enlightening educational experience. She has developed a program that is delivered in person and virtually which allows for individuals around the world access to her program. Hali is truly a visionary with the comprehensive program she has developed. If you have a spark inside that says you may want to teach yoga or deepen your personal practice...listen...jump..do it!

"I never expected the 200hr ytt would be so impactful in my life! It was so therapeutic for me personally. It taught me way more than just how to teach yoga. It taught me about myself and how to properly care for myself. I was worried I wouldn’t feel the full experience since I was doing it virtually, but Hali creates such a strong community between all the students that I felt so connected to everyone even though we were all around the world. It was also such a relaxing experience to be able to take my time and complete the assignments when it worked best for me. Now I can’t imagine doing my training any other way!

Her program is complete & full of rich knowledge & tools that will serve you both on your yoga journey & life journey! Her compassion, unconditional love, support, generosity & fierce motivation are the greatest inspiration for me in life. As loving as she is, when it gets hard, she doesn’t take you in her arms to comfort you, instead, she gives you the tools to stand up and do the work for yourself so you feel empowered & capable, & for me that is the greatest gift you can be given. I am forever grateful to have crossed path with her, & very much blessed to call her my mentor & friend! This training is only the beginning.

I highly recommend any training taught by Hali Love. This 500 HR training was my second Yoga Teacher Training experience with Hali and enjoyed every second of it. I came to Hali’s offerings after a decade of teaching yoga. I felt stuck and stagnant in my offerings and was seeking change and growth. Hali’s programs are anchored in personal development and I believe this was the turning point for me. Once I could understand myself on a deeper level I was able to clear away any fears or self doubts that were holding me back from stepping into a new empowered sense of self. This new sense of empowered self helped naturally up-level my business and create more ease and flow in all areas of life! Hali helped me shift from “instructing yoga” to “teaching yoga.” The students who arrive to classes are now walking away with “profound spiritual experiences.” The amount of positive feedback I’ve received from students since working with Hali is incredible. Hali is definitely living her dharma and has such a gift in sharing her years of yogic wisdom with her students. Her heart is pure, her teachings potent and the community of like minded students is a blessing. If you’re looking for growth, to be challenged and to expand your yoga career Hali is your girl!!! Kelly J. 500 Hour YTT Graduate, Samara, Costa Rica
“Hali has taught me that I am my greatest teacher. What I really appreciated about Hali's coaching is that she did not tell me what to do she presented the tools and then it was up to me.” Carmelina Baccari Calgary Canada
I have attended Hali's YTT and retreats and they changed my life. She is so knowledgable about all things yoga and extremely intuitive with regards to her students healing. Cannot recommend her and her programs enough! Julia A Tamarindo Costa Rica
"Just returned from a yoga retreat that was both beautiful and transformative. Hali brings a community together to offer healing, relaxation, growth and exploration. Yoga, meditation, and so many techniques were generously shared in a safe and empowering space. Now more than ever women need to rejuvenate and restore - this is the place to do just that. I have never felt better and can't wait to go back for Hali's next great venture." Mary Jo Santa Cruz California
Due to Covid-19, I finished my extended YTT program online. I am so grateful for the online training. It gave me the stability that I needed during this period, but also a routine that I apply in my everyday life now. This YYT clearly changed my entire life and myself. Big thank you and forever gratefull to you Hali for this program but also for meeting you. Your kindness, knowledge, openness and generosity is beautiful and very inspiring. During the training Hali was always available and reachable. Doing the online part gave me the possibility to reach out to other students around the globe and it’s great to be able to connect online. Once again, Thank you! Shanti shanti shanti !

If you’re looking for yoga Hali's studio, Playa Negra Yoga is the place to go. She is very welcoming and super professional. The studio is clean and comfortable. She offers a variety of classes and she’s very encouraging. Her Teacher Training courses are amazing as well. They’re thorough and inspiring as well as educational. People come from all over the world to learn from Hali and I know why, she’s the best! Krysta D Los Pargos Costa Rica
"My retreat with Hali was life changing. My hope in going was to hit the "reset" button after a difficult marriage of 23 years and divorce which left me feeling like a hollow shell. Hali's coaching offered me a safe haven, and an opportunity to gain understanding and acceptance of the many events of my past that have molded my point of view of myself. I learned how my point of view and emotions can empower or limit me. How they also affect my interpretation of a situation, and my decision making abilities." Lori Banks Alberta Canada
“It was a fight at times and my ego certainly didn't want to let go, but with Hali's compassion, love and deep support for humanity, I was able to let go and truly trust in the flow of the process.” Jennifer Colucci Miami USA
My path has led me to Hali and Playa Negra 2 times now. I took a 200 hundred hour yoga training with her a few years ago and am still so grateful for that experience. The people I met will always be close to me. There is a bond created that we cannot describe. I learned and grew. A little over a year later I found myself coming back to Costa Rica and looked to see if there was something I could do with Hali again. I took the barre training and absolutely loved it! The remainder of my time Hali helped me to put together a business plan and website. Taking my passions and goals and turning it into a reality. That was a moment! I cherish Hali's kindness and knowledge in my life and will be back to her part of the world again. Sarah Jane Alberta Canada
"I am taking Hali's Personal Development Facilitator Training. I have received many ah-ha moments. The program has enabled me to really dig deep and literally look at myself in a mirror and really discover who I am. I love who I am becoming while taking this course and feel my most authentic self!! I can not wait to be a certified coach and know my own personal journey will be my guide for future clients. Loving the process." Amanda P. Okotoks Canada

Hali has been an amazing support and mentor through the coaching program. I highly recommend her and this program to my clients. If you are looking to create a career through coaching or you are interested in self growth, you will get both from this program. The amount I learned about myself from simple, each to integrate concepts, has been life changing. I’ve done a lot of personal growth work and was surprised at how much I was still learning about myself. Embodying the concepts of the program is easy, and this makes it easy to offer as solutions to clients. Melanie Dawn Personal Development Facilitator Graduate Calgary Canada
"I attended Hali’s YTT through Playa Negra Yoga Retreat at the recommendation of one of my yoga teachers in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. I was seeking the deeper meaning of yoga, the nonphysical parts, the history. I was recovering from a recent cancer diagnosis. With yoga as an important tool, my body had healed but my mind was still in turmoil. I was struggling with fear of recurrence, anger at my body, and lack of understanding about my purpose in this life. My work with Hali during my YTT was a pivotal point in my emotional recovery. The process helped me to learn to slow down the constant whirl of thoughts in my head, and to let the thoughts that don’t matter go (I am not my thoughts but the observer of them) and to start to learn to trust my body again. Hali encouraged me to identify and pursue the things in life that were important to me (choosing which wolf to feed) and when I have realized my path to be blocked since my YTT Hali has advised and encouraged me to remove the block and keep moving forward. Through these steps Hali motivated me to get to work with an idea I had but did not have the confidence to act on. Since then, I have created a business from that idea and am now working hard to grow it. Much of the work was subtle, and I can’t quite find the words to describe the process that has continued to unfold in the months since then. But I know it has changed me and that I continue to learn new things unexpectedly since my time in Playa Negra. Ah-Ha moments come randomly when something from our training suddenly resonates with me. I plan to return to Playa Negra for additional training in the future so that I can continue both my yoga journey as well as my personal growth journey." Carlee Russo, Founder of Care Feathers Inc. Calgary Canada
"Hali, thank you for your Metta Meditation I really needed to send love and healing out to those in my life who needed it and to myself." Rhonda Burry Alberta Canada
"My YTT experience with Hali Love was transformational. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that is awe-inspiring. She leads by example and brings her truest self forward in every moment. In this course, I discovered the importance of self-love and healing through emotional expression and communication. With Hali’s close guidance, I explored yoga beyond just the physical practice and learned how to realign my mind, body, and soul. I also benefitted from the reflection and class discussions which deepened my understanding of each lesson. Hali takes the time to connect with every student and she challenged me through exactly what I needed to learn, grow, and flourish. I am so very grateful for this experience with Hali and Multi-Style Yoga. Thank you :)" Josie Montreal Canada
Hali is such a gift! She was recommended to me when I was going through one of the most difficult times of my life, and within just a few sessions, everything had changed. She listened without judgment, she provided potent tools and exercises that created real shifts, and supported me through the process. Her depth of knowledge and understanding made me feel like I was in excellent hands, so it was easy to trust the process. I know I’ll carry what I learned with me forever, and I hope to study with Hali in the future!

"Hali, I am so blessed and grateful to have met you and to have experienced what life , love ,happiness and peace feels like. The amazing work you do with such compassion and love has opened up so many doors of endless possibilities for me. My vibrational level has every increased. My thoughts are clear and I am excited for what lies ahead. My work in silence every day, yoga and chanting has grounded me to see myself for me. I put no restrictions on myself as a test to see what would step forward on my journey to Costa Rica. I came with an open mind , no fear, no expectations, sense of adventure, experience every day to its fullest, no judgement , go with the flow, love , meet people, step outside my comfort zone , grow , listen , breathe , have fun,be silent , learn something new and simple Mindset. Wow.... What a ride it has been!! Thanks so much for sharing yourself and paradise with me. I can't wait to come back. FOREVER GRATEFUL!!" Tracey LeDuc
"My experience with Hali was the most life changing experience I have ever gone through. Not only did she give me the tools to recognize when I am living from my story but she taught me how to step out of that story and love myself free of judgment. Hali coaches from a place of love, acceptance and inspiration and I must say I have truly been inspired" Melissa Shelton Colorado USA
"To inspire and be inspired. Hali open heartedly leads from this place. She has sparked me to fiercely believe that all is well - it is all perfect: every emotion, experience, thought. This is a reference point that I come back to time and time again because of my work with Hali. A point that brings me joy, ease, freedom and endless possibility. Hali generously holds space for vulnerability, break downs and major break throughs. I will never forget being a puddle on the floor, raw, broken hearted and so full of fear and grief on day one of a workshop with her. I wasn't sure that I could live through my pain. Hali confidently and lovingly whispered into my ear, "This is perfect. You are in the right place." And from that place that she created it was safe to make friends with my pain and to start my healing. Hali encourages deep inquiry into who you are and what you stand for; her unadulterated curiosity and love of play create a beautiful model for living a life with a heart wide freaking open - this wild journey that she is on, the one that she invites others to be a part of, to grow and learn and expand is beautiful and spirited. I encourage you to join the tribe!" Janell Sklapasky British Columbia Canada
"My experience at yoga teacher training with Multi Style Yoga and Hali Love was simply incredible. By day 2 it was clear that this was something EVERYONE should experience. By day 16 my body, mind and spirit were so open, connected and so ready to keep learning. Hali created spaced for dialogue, new thoughts and change. I am a carpenter and never having the thought that I would teach yoga, I originally went to yoga teacher training for personal development. I had been witness to my wife’s transformation with Hali. So I had some idea of what to expect but my expectations were blown out of the water. Upon my return, still being a carpenter, I was awakened to a new passion of teaching and practicing yoga. I used to say to my wife that Namaste meant, “Nah I’ll stay, I’ll go to yoga next time”. Hali Love helped to inspire an awakening within. If you only one thing for yourself in this life, this should be it. Multi Style Yoga and Hali Love changed my life." John Ramsay British Columbia Canada

"I went to teacher training not wanting to be a teacher, but to further my practice. I had no idea what to expect. I was expecting asana practice. A lot of it. And with two hours of practice every day, I definitely got it. But there was SO much more. One thing Hali said that resonated with me the most was "Anyone can memorize a sequence. It's who you become along the way that people are going to be attracted to. It's your most authentic self that will draw people to you. Not only filling your classes, but filling your life". And that is where the journey began. What I learned about myself during my 200 hour teacher training completely turned my world around. I began to live outside my little bubble and started to see the bigger picture." Stef Calgary Canada
"There was a measurable shift in my life ~ my practice ~ my yoga offering after Hali's 200 Hour Teacher Training with Multi Style Yoga! Each style of yoga has a different impact in our bodies and on our mats. Hali shares her immense knowledge freely and empowers you to make authentic choices. There is something very special about MSYI!" Laurel Calgary Canada
"I was guided from love and truth during my 200 Hour YTT. Since my program, I have learned so much about myself and how my way of being was radiating into my world! I'm leaving my pattern of procrastination behind and have moved into action! I have gratitude for MSYI." Danna Albetra Canada
