ABOUT ME

My love affair with yoga began in the fall of 2004 when I attended a Hatha yoga class given at my local community centre. Following this newfound passion, I went on to explore Bikram, Hot, Power, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga.

​

I'm a certified Hatha Yoga Teacher, an E-RYT 500 and YACEP Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, and I've been teaching in Ottawa since 2008. I blend yoga asanas with a pinch of philosophy, a touch of humour, and a steady breath.

​

I have over 3,000 hours of teaching experience and to date, have taken workshops and master classes with Richard Freeman, Seane Corn, Ray Long, Bryan Kest, Ana Forrest and Sadie Nardini.

​

I'm a member of the teaching faculty for PranaShanti Yoga Centre’s 300-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program, leading 20-hour Core Modules on Teaching Methodology and the Energetic Anatomy of Yoga. I am also the Coordinator for this same program.

​

I was a Teaching Assistant for PranaShanti’s Winter 2017 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program, 2018 Restorative Yoga Training and am now a co-lead instructor at the 200-hour level.

WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS

      Teaching starts from within

  

        October 27-29, 2023

  • Friday 6 pm to 9 pm

  • Saturday 9 am to 6 pm

  • Sunday 9 am to 6 pm

​

This is a theoretical and practical course that will include group discussions, personal reflection,

practical exercises and practice teaching. We'll review the basic blueprint of a Hatha Yoga practice and examine the following:

  • different modalities by which students learn;

  • how to manage time and set priorities when preparing classes of varying lengths and styles;

  • how to create a safe and accessible physical space;

  • how to hold space on a psychological and emotional level in order to create an environment for learning;

  •  and how to weave elements such as pranayama, mantras, meditation and mudras into yoga classes.

We'll also examine the nature of the Teacher/Student relationship, the importance of boundaries and our personal motives as a teacher

and finally, we'll examine how to cultivate a vibrant inner life, and why this is essential to being an effective yoga teacher.
