guiding you to plant your roots deeply to rise!

Over the last 7 years I have underwent training to become a 200hr Sivananda Hatha Yoga Teacher, 100hr Therapeutic Yoga Specialist, and have also Yin, Chair Yoga, Pre & Post Natal Certifications. I am a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner, and also furthered my studies in Nutrition and Wellness Coaching by completing my Ayurveda Wellness Counsellor Certification.

 

In Summer of 2017 I opened a small private yoga studio, The Yoga Hut located in Tillsonburg Ontario so I could bring my services to clients on a more 1 on 1 level, creating programs for every unique individual! Whether it be working through an injury, starting with chair yoga, dealing with an autoimmune condition or illness, having a busy schedule that makes it challenging to visit a yoga studio with set schedules, or perhaps wanting guidance in the beginning of your yoga practice, these are all some of the reasons my clients have came through the door and kickstarted their yoga practice at The Yoga Hut. I love seeing people learn and then gain the skills to take the practice of yoga off the mat (or chair:) and into their everyday life. Yoga is much more than just the physical postures, and through these sessions you will learn the 5 basic principles that I teach, including Proper Postures, Proper Breathing, Proper Relaxation, Proper Nutrition and Mindfullness/Meditation. These 5 pillars is what makes yoga so deeply powerful in connecting the mind, body and breath together and it has truly been a saving grace in my life during my own health and mindset challenges and I love to share these tools with others who may be going through their own health or life challenges.

Prior to starting my yoga business, I also studied and received a diploma in Recreation and Leisure which sparked my love for program development and activity planning while giving me the opportunity to travel the world. Following those adventures, I lived for 4 years in Saint John, New Brunswick where I studied and received my degree in Business Management and International Studies. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would have went on to study business, my jaw likely would have dropped because that was far off my radar! I don’t love numbers by any means, but I do love the power of connection and our breakthroughs, and I believe my path through business school gave me the knowledge and determination I needed to merge my passion for yoga, wellness, connection and adventure all together…Life has a funny way of providing us with those stepping stones we need, even when we may not see it in the moment!
