Lead Yin Yoga Teacher Trainer
Why Should You Join In Start your Yoga journey today, you deserve it. When you make it to your mat, you are giving yourself the greatest gift. When I arrive on my mat, I am home. It is so beautiful to reconnect with oneself, to be centered, grounded, inspired. I come to my mat to listen. I listen to my heart, my breath and I know I have it all within. I cannot wait to hear what brings you back to your mat over and over again. Be open to the possibilities that Yoga can bring you freedom. Let’s Go!

Yoga Teacher
What You Will Experience In My Class I lead classes from a foundation of Iyengar teachings with a focus on cueing for safe alignment in each asana. Providing time in the asana for students to cultivate a connection physically with the body, but also with the movement of the breath in the body during the pose. Gentle encouragement to accept ‘what is’ and to remain focused on the breath throughout the practice provides opportunity to develop mindfulness and inner peace. My goal is always to support students to ‘feel good’ and develop strength and functional fitness. Smiling is encouraged and welcomed.
Why Should You Join In Whether you are new to yoga, or advanced in your practice, my classes provide an opportunity to listen to your Inner Teacher to make modifications to each asana to best meet your needs for the day. You will feel supported and safe at all times.
One Who Inspires Me My teachers, Lesley Young and Colleen Felgate. Dedicated individuals, each with wisdom to share …. who set me on ‘The Path’ with their guidance.

What You Will Experience In My Class I am inspired to help others find purpose through self discovery and practical yogic teachings. Students are encouraged to work through a safe range-of-motion in a practice that encourages compassion, patience, and acceptance. I assist students in embracing each pose with a deeper connection to breath by using clear verbal cues, gentle adjustments, and suggestions that invite curiosity. Variations are always given to establish a supportive space, including how to modify for injuries. My approach to yoga offers an experience that is balanced and mindful while keeping it light hearted. I love supporting students in using the principles of yoga in everyday life. I hope to inspire inward transformation that can have an impact in the world.
Why Should You Join In I enjoy exploring movement, sharing philosophy, and uncovering the deeper teachings of yoga. I’ve gained a clear understanding of human kinetics, injury recovery, and prevention through studying Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia (BKin). Outside of teaching, I’m an avid snowboarder who’s in love with the outdoors! I strive to create inclusive classes so anyone can join in whether they’re a competitive athlete or a first time yogi.
