Attending the Community Support Worker program at DCC was incredible and rewarding. I not only achieved my academic goals, I was encouraged to discover new and exciting career opportunities. The support and training I received during the program gave me insight into this exciting field. The three practicum placements further solidified the training I received and gave me the opportunity to engage with people in a professional and genuine environment.

I checked out DCC’s program and found their schedule to be very flexible allowing me to continue working.

The instructor was a good fit with my learning style. I loved the program!!! Upon graduation I felt very prepared to start working in the field.

I was hired 2 weeks after the program ended, as a casual. 2-3 weeks after that, I received a permanent full time line with benefits!! I love my job! I work 2 days, 2 evenings and 2 nights.

WhatsOn

health What is Yoga2Life Coaching?

The guiding principles that underline Yoga2Life Coaching build on the foundations and parallels of coaching ethics and yoga philosophy: Intention, Awareness, Accountability, Compassion, and Growth.

This unique approach to inner work, personal development, and stress management may help you to open up to, and embrace, new perspectives on your journey through transition and personal growth.

Yoga2Life Coaching focuses on techniques and strategies to help overcome challenges and move past setbacks through coaching strategies, actively engaging in our thoughts, yoga mudras, gentle yoga poses and meditation (absolutely no prior experience is required!), and self-reflection.

Most importantly, the parallel strategies of yoga philosophy and life coaching present you with an

opportunity to step out of "auto-pilot mode" into authentic intention and awareness - the cornerstones in creating lasting change.

What are the benefits of Yoga2Life Coaching?

• Explore a framework for creating and navigating change through similarities of yoga and coaching philosophies: Intention, Awareness, Accountability, Compassion, and Growth.

• Introduction to coaching tools that can be used immediately.

• Tap into your own intuition and wisdom.

• Bringing the similarities of yoga and life coaching into women's lives as a tool toward self-empowerment.

After allowing this for a length of time, the therapist stood, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.

Silently the woman sat down. The therapist turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you see to it?”

“Well,” he said, “I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I go fishing.”
