Teaching Background
BFA Honours, Dance Performance and Choreography from York University, Yoga Teacher Training in progress, recent Aufguss training with Jade Coulombe... I am a dance artist, choreographer, and educator with experience teaching yoga (an interest that formed after practicing ashtanga daily with a previous dance company) and facilitating aufguss rituals :)
What do you love about teaching at Saltair?
I love to facilitate spaces where people can feel like their best selves, and explore what wellness may mean to them. I love the people and the strong sense of community that has been cultivated.
Fun Fact:
I love gardening :)
Upcoming Classes:
Start your day with Rise & Shine: Meditation, a guided morning wellness experience that brings movement, heat, cold and stillness together in one intentional practice of reset and restoration.
We begin in the Restore Room with a gentle welcome and grounding practice, creating space to slow down and settle in. From there, move into the warmth of the sauna for a 20-minute guided meditation. Each class explores a different practice, such as a body scan, loving-kindness (Metta) meditation, visualization or a gentle exploration of emotions.
Rhythmic towel waves and aromatic ice balls infused with essential oils accompany the sauna practice, inviting relaxation and awakening the senses. A refreshing guided cold immersion follows, before returning to the warmth of the sauna for quiet reflection and a peaceful close.
Whether you’re discovering meditation or returning to an established practice, this class offers a supportive space to pause, reconnect with yourself and leave feeling renewed.
Suitable for all experience levels. No prior meditation or sauna experience is required.

Start your day with Rise & Shine: Breathwork, a guided morning wellness experience that brings movement, heat, cold and stillness together in one intentional practice of reset and restoration.
We begin in the Relax Room with grounding breathwork and meditation, creating space to settle into the present moment and connect with your body. From there, move into the sauna for guided breathing and meditation, allowing the warmth to deepen awareness and encourage relaxation and release.
A refreshing cold plunge invites you to stay connected to your breath through the transition, before returning to the warmth of the sauna for rest, integration and quiet reflection. Throughout the practice, intentional breathing offers a way to cultivate presence, clarity and a deeper connection to yourself.
Suitable for all experience levels. No prior breathwork or sauna experience is required.

Rise & Shine: Yo|Sa: Winter Warmth
December–March | Gentle yoga inside the sauna
Start your day with Rise & Shine: Yo|Sa: Winter Warmth, a guided morning wellness experience that brings movement, heat, cold and stillness together in one intentional practice of reset and restoration.
During the winter months, our yoga practice moves from the Gathering Dome into the warmth of the sauna. We begin at a lower sauna temperature with gentle seated or lying-down postures on the benches, giving you space to notice your breath, explore sensation and soften into each movement.
A refreshing cold plunge follows before returning to a warmer sauna for towel waves, aroma, breathwork and meditation, then a second opportunity for cold immersion. The closing sauna invites you to simply receive the warmth, with the option to rest in savasana, a lying-down resting posture, and allow the experience to settle.
Throughout the practice, you’re encouraged to listen to your body and choose the movement and cold immersion that feel right for you. Afterwards, enjoy Nordic Free Flow to rest or explore at your own pace.
Suitable for all experience levels. No prior yoga or sauna experience is required.
