Teaching Background
I started practicing yoga 25 years ago, and I have 350 hours of teacher training at the 200 hr level. I began my first teacher training in 2010 through Therapeutic Approach Yoga Studio, Halifax, and continued my training at Inner Sun Yoga Studio, also based in Nova Scotia. I was keen to get as much experience from a diverse number of teachers before really diving into my own teaching practice in 2015.
Most of my experience has been teaching in a hatha vinyasa style, focusing on alignment, breath, and balance, as well as restorative and chair yoga. My approach is intentional and gentle, aiming to deeply impact the wellbeing of the body, mind, and soul. The hope is for students leave feeling nourished and more centred and rejuvenated.
What do you love about teaching at Saltair?
Saltair offers a uniquely calming and restorative experience for its guests, with thought put into everything from the gorgeous physical location to the heartfelt creativity with classes and services offered. It’s a real honour to be a part of that! We have a unique team that desires so much to promote wellbeing, and it’s a blessing to be able to guide and teach alongside them.
Fun Fact:
I’m a musician! My previous career was practicing Music Therapy in long-term care, focusing on palliative and dementia care. I have a degree in music therapy, which most people don’t realize exists.
