Julia I
![]() As a busy mother of 4, I find my yoga practice a welcome release from the stresses of day to day life. Yoga changed my life after, at the age of 39, I took a bad tumble off my mountain bike and broke several bones. The healing and subsequent joy I garnered from my practice instilled in me a desire to share this amazing way of life with others. Through gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement in the Hatha style, I like to think that I challenge my students to channel their own wonderful energy to be the best they can be on this remarkable journey. I believe that yoga is a integral part of a balanced and diverse life. For my part, I continue to seek out new challenges and find joy in mountain biking and gardening in the warmer months, and snowshoeing and skiing in the colder months. I love making new friends and sharing a busy lifestyle with my husband Tom and whichever of our four children are home at any given time. Life is good! |

Gillian S
![]() Gillian was raised in a family inspired by travel and adventure, exposing her to a wide array of religious and cultural influences from an early age. Despite this, it wasn't until she was an adult living in Montreal that she was introduced to yoga by a reiki practitioner and yoga student from New York. Immediately, she felt the power behind the practice and challenged herself to break away with the bonds of old habits. After many years of searching she found in Yoga a greater sense of passion and purpose like she had never felt before. In 2010 Gillian lived, studied, trained and practiced Hatha yoga in Nepal under the instruction of renowned Vinyasa flow specialist Dominique Renucci, gaining her 200-hour Yoga Alliance teaching qualification. Along with this she completed a Thai Massage Certification focusing on the correlation between Thai massage and Yogic Adjustment. This training has equipped Gillian with a creative and dynamic teaching style. By constantly challenging herself in her own practice, she has established a practical and down-to-earth approach that makes her accessible to all students. Gillian's classes are constantly evolving as she continually looks for new ways to stimulate and inspire her students.
