Unwavering Gentleness
In my 20 years of yoga experience, I still do not consider myself an expert. There is always so much to learn and explore, and the yoga world seems to be forever evolving through different styles and trends. So why do I teach gentle yoga? I came to yoga in 1997. I was 17 years… Continue reading Unwavering Gentleness

Gentle Yoga | Summer in Port Hope
As I work on a collective vision for my growing business, I have watched many other yoga studios and teachers surfacing over the years.

Divine Feminine
Today is Mother's Day, so it seems fitting to share my deeper healing of The Yoga Code workshop. My shift actually happened at the end of the workshop, which integrated overnight, and the next morning in my hotel room, I was flooded with insight and healing. As I journalled about the experience I kept hearing… Continue reading Divine Feminine
Montreal | The Yoga Code
So... I love freedom. I love travel. I love yoga... and I especially love yoga philosophy. In fact, I came to my "asana" practice years after first dabbling in meditation and reading a variety of books on eastern philosophies and religions... When I was training teachers for The Gentle Way of Hatha in 2013 I… Continue reading Montreal | The Yoga Code
