Our Yoga Team

MSW, CYT
I combine my training in classical Hatha yoga, several years of experience as a competitive runner and triathlete, and 2 decades of experience in the field of mental health to offer a unique practice to students. Using the breath as a guide, benefits include strengthening and purifying the body and mind, decreasing stress and illness, and increasing our capacity for self-compassion.

Influenced by the Krishnamacharya lineage, I have been teaching yoga since 2005. I have had the opportunity to study with gifted yoga leaders in a range of Hatha yoga practices including restorative yoga, Iyengar, Vijnana, and Viniyoga. I have experience as a nurse and yoga instructor in working with people living with chronic pain, anxiety, depression and addictions.  I aim to offer yoga classes that are trauma informed, adaptable and provide a therapeutic experience for the practitioner.

Through a lifetime of curious exploration, fascinated by the interconnection between body, psyche, spirit, and nature – I have been drawn to many holistic healing and embodiment practices. It all started with discovering yoga and travelling to the motherland of India 20 years ago, and my journey of self-discovery and facilitating yoga, embodied presence, conscious dance and biodynamic craniosacral therapy has been growing strong ever since.
Sharing my passion for the somatic healing arts, and living a life connected and in deep conversation with nature, is my greatest joy & pleasure.

I am a human, just like you. I identify as a seeker, survivor and friend. I teach trauma-informed Yoga in community, and love helping people feel safe and empowered while connecting with their bodies.

I believe in creating a safe space to meet yourself wherever you are at. A space to feel respected, at choice, and included. I believe that within this space, we can heal and recover our relationships to ourselves and our bodies. We can find the pieces of ourselves that got lost, and start to reclaim our lives.

I welcome all levels of students into my classes. My hope is that they will enjoy the benefits of both Vinyasa Flow and Yin yoga practices. The combination of these two asana classes offer balance, core strength and alignment with Flow, and deepened flexibility and mobility with Yin. I was initially drawn to the physical benefits of yoga, but quickly grew passionate about the opportunity for personal and spiritual growth.

My intuitive instruction, comprised of a unique and cohesive hybrid of mindful movement, dance, and life coaching, cuts through your blockages and propels you to the next step with uncanny efficiency and grace. In my classes and workshops – whether we are breathing, moving, or dancing together – there will always be a deep emphasis on transformation, energetics, playfulness, and personal empowerment.

I was introduced yoga when I was pregnant with my eldest son, and completed yoga teacher training in 2006. My curiosity led into many hours of meditation, pre/postnatal, restorative, somatics and yoga for cancer training. I truly believe that yoga is for everyone, and welcome all level of practitioners.

About 5 years ago I quit my full-time design career in pursuit of a dream to become a life coach and yoga instructor. At that time, one of the things that surfaced for me was how much I valued Connection. I’ve taken this value into my practice as a yoga instructor. My prime objective is to inspire others towards a deeper understanding and therefore connection to themselves, to their bodies and to their world.

I have always been a seeker, growing up on the East Coast, surrounded by the forest and various bodies of water. I was always looking for the meaning of things, the secrets and answers held in nature. I witnessed authenticity and people living meaningful, purposeful lives, so I knew it was possible. Anything is possible.

Since my first class 12 years ago, alongside many knowledgeable teachers, my practice has evolved and I have found my place in guiding others through the practice we know as Yoga.

I have been sharing my passion of yoga for 16 years, yet I am still in awe of the new things my students and I discover every time we step onto our mats. I love that I will never know everything about this practice. Knowing this keeps me excited, receptive and aware. What might you experience in one of my classes? Presence, trust, growth, peace, freedom, commitment, laughter, rebelliousness, curiosity and acceptance. But… don’t take my word for it – join us and find out for yourself!

My very first Yoga class was one of those aha moments.  I felt at home, in body and mind, for maybe the first time ever.  This was in 1974, and although it took me 30 years to wind up in Yoga Teacher Training, Yoga always wove itself in and out of my life as a trusted support.

Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, at a young age I was involved in everything from ballet, synchronized swimming, and eventually triathlon. It was from this place that I began to understand that moving my body was essential to building strong relationships within and without and in turn, living a wholesome and purposeful life. The practice of yoga came into my life in my early twenties and was the birthplace of my current path in body-centered therapy.
