Much more than just a physical practice, yoga was Nicole’s saving grace. She first discovered yoga in 2010 as a Police Officer working shift and facing more terrible things daily than most people would see in their lifetime.

As a therapeutic outlet, yoga and bodybuilding kept Nicole grounded when things got too dark and depressing, helped her keep an open heart when faced with things she didn’t understand, supported when she felt alone, and her mind and body able when she was forced to carry heavy loads, both figuratively and literally.

After ten years of Policing, Nicole was ready to find new, meaningful connection…not only within herself, but one that would allow her to continue to serve people and her community. She took her Yoga Teaching Training in 2011, and, after 12 years of building her practice, credits yoga-both on and off the mat-with feeding her soul and helping her to navigate through this crazy and often too fast-paced life.

Nicole’s intentions are to create a safe, non-judgmental, inviting and supportive environment for everyone regardless of where they come from, their past, or what their personal ‘Why’ is that brings them to the mat. In her classes you can expect to always be greeted with a smile, build strength both physically and mentally, get sweaty, find your calm, and probably chuckle at her terrible jokes.

Isabelle prides her classes in being accessible, with a mission to offer inclusive spaces for all from which to explore mind, body and breath connection in community.

Ashlea found yoga during a time of uncertainty in her life. Newly divorced with two kids at her side, Ashlea learned that she needed to take care of herself first in order to be the best Mom she could be. She completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 with Empowered Yoga, and found a deep love and respect for movement. While she enjoys practising all forms of yoga, Ashlea’s craft has been designed to teach the slower and more deliberate movements of Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Callisthenics – refining postures to build strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. Her motivation for teaching comes from a desire to help people find the power within, and to offer a bit of reprieve from their daily routine.

Since attending her first YTT in 2016, Ashlea has deepened her education through Empowered Yoga with 25 hour Restorative Yoga and 25 hour PTSD Trauma Training, and plans to continue her teacher trainings with additional modalities to obtain her 500 hour teaching certificate.

Mathew’s journey of personal growth accelerated in 2015, when he moved from Ontario to Alberta in search of a calm, quiet connection to nature and self. Discovering connection to breath during long, isolating climbs in the Canadian Rockies led Mathew along a path toward the practice of yoga. Through dedicated practice on his mat, he learned to channel the breath, body, and mind connection to achieve a state of calmness and self-awareness, releasing tension in the body. Frequent visits to a Buddhist monastery, where he practiced sitting in silence with the monastics of the temple, deepened this existing connection of mindfulness and resulted in a strong meditation practice.

Having been impacted by many extraordinary yoga instructors over the years, teaching yoga was always something Mathew aspired to do. He pursued certification as a RYT 200 as well as foundational meditation teacher training so that he could share the benefits of yoga and meditation with others. His classes will invite you to breathe deeply and move with intention so that you can actualize your most authentic self and find balance from within.

With the enthusiasm and curiosity of an excited child, Mic encourages her students to experiment with movement and rejoice in the accomplishments of our ever-evolving bodies. She coaches in a compassionate way to celebrate capabilities and to confront challenges as unexpected and unrealized potential.

Trained as a Registered Nurse, Mic learned early on to adapt to constantly changing conditions. This skill served her well when side-lined due to injuries and chronic pain, and her love of learning propelled her to exercise her mind when her body was unwilling. She achieved certification as both a Personal Training Specialist and a Healthy Weight Loss Coach from Canfitpro, and came to yoga when injured to find it changing her life in amazing ways. She graduated from 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga for Today in 2019, and has since added to her knowledge through trainings in Pain Care Yoga, Yoga for Children, and Yin Yoga.

Jackie’s story can be described as surrendering to the flow of life and trusting that all you are searching for is already within you.

In 2015, Jackie became a consistent yoga practitioner but found herself falling into old habits of ‘over doing it’ to the point of exhaustion. Her life consisted of never-ending schedules and ‘to do’ lists with no idea as to what balance was or how to attain it.

In 2020 she felt the call to take the next step in her yoga practice and completed her first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. Here Jackie was also introduced to Akhanda Yoga and began her 300 YTT to deepen her understanding of this unique yoga approach. This inspired her to travel to Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh India to learn and practice under Yogrishi Vishvketu, the founder of Akhanda Yoga Institute.

Jackie fell in love with the healing, grounding and nourishing components of yoga; learning to let go and allowing herself to transform and reprogram the limitations of the mind through stillness. She finds balance through exploration of yogic philosophy and the practice of breath work, meditation and mantra, and she is passionate about sharing a balanced practice with holistic elements through a restorative and meditative approach. Look to Jackie to experience oneness and wellbeing in her sharing of preserved yoga wisdom and techniques, and how they translate into a modern life.

Tanya is an experienced Breath Meditation Facilitator who loves connecting with others to teach and help develop personal mindful breath practices for deep healing, re-connecting with the self, and alignment of mind, body and spirit.

Breath work is seen as a powerful tool to release stress and enable a person to stay present in their own body. In addition to creating space for healing, learning and connection, breath work can also empower a sense of community, through the coming together of individuals to breathe and form a harmonious healing circle in sync with one another.
