Meet our team of beautiful human beings

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.


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.

Since the birth of her first baby, Isabelle’s focus has moved towards Pre, Peri and Post Natal Yoga; supporting new parents on their journey through parenthood, and children in their mental and physical growth. She still loves guiding students in practices that support all the layers of their being.
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.
Nicole completed her Yoga Teacher Training in 2014, followed by Yin, Restorative, Meditation, and other training, including that of Reiki Master Teacher. She continues to learn from the many amazing teachers who have shared their wisdom with her, and she is grateful for the opportunity to be able to walk this path of yoga with others on their own personal journeys.


Jody’s journey of healing and regulating her nervous system transitioned into finding her passion to helping others do the same. She became a 200hr certified yoga teacher and Breath work coach, and is in the process of obtaining her 30hr Restorative teacher certification with plans to continue learning and growing through more certifications that help to bring the mind, body, and breath into balance.
Jody’s mission is to help guide all bodies to move, breathe, and flow a little more fully and peacefully on and off the mat.

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.
Music has also been a huge part of Mic’s life, so you may find her humming, singing or spontaneously dancing in class – feel free to join in!

In her classes, Tori incorporates elements of Vinyasa, Hatha, and Pranayama to help students find balance on the mat, and allow them to carry their practice with them outside of the studio. She is a student herself, dedicated to her own personal growth in yoga, pottery, painting and other creative outlets, believing that learning new skills is essential to living a fulfilling life.

During an uneasy pregnancy with her first child, Bailly discovered the power of yoga. She knew that teaching perinatal yoga was to become part of her journey and pursued it. In her classes, Bailly honours motherhood through teachings of the 8 limbs of yoga, modern alignment principles, and functional movement. She is Trauma Informed, Prenatal and Postnatal certified, a birth and natural movement nerd, and passionate about perinatal support. Her next adventure will be completing Postpartum Doula training.
Bailly is a mama to two little people and wife to her best friend.


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.

She prides herself on providing challenging, yet relaxing sessions; encouraging healing and a lasting feeling of zen among her students, whether they are just beginning their yoga journey or are well-practiced yogis.
When she is not in her class, you will find her playing in her coral reef tank, golfing, walking the family dog, and spending time with family.

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.

Rikki believes that yoga should be accessible to everyone. She incorporates the use of props, and provides modifications or alternate poses to support students in the exploration of their personal practice. Rikki is passionate about strengthening a mind-body connection through yoga, and hopes to translate that passion to anyone who attends her classes. She is also a dedicated yoga student herself, believing that lifelong learning is key to continuing to grow your practice.
Originally, yoga offered her a platform for healing through the integration of ethics, psychology, spirituality and movement. Now she sees yoga as the practice of life; the practice of moving consciously through the world on and off the mat.
Jodie encourages students to enjoy their practise through the invitation of self-exploration and honour. With suggestive mindful insight, she takes you on a journey that is light hearted, rhythmical and fun. No practice is ever the same with different playlists and varying intentions. She is ever grateful for the opportunity to share her understanding of yoga and looks forward to flowing with you on the mat.
