Diana (she/her)
Diana fell in love with yoga when she realized it was a great physical AND emotional practice. A yogic lesson that has really resonated with her is to be uniquely yourself and people will love you for that. Diana is a lover and learner of life and is always looking for more opportunities for growth. She couldn’t have done so if not for the mentors who held space and support her. Diana is looking forward to providing space and support for her students so that they can flourish in their own lives.
Janelle (she her)
Janelle’s approach is to create an accessible space for everybody. Her classes are like a ‘choose your own adventure’, where she is narrator and each student has their own story. Janelle also might be the only yoga teacher who hates the beach and sunshine, but don’t hold that against her.
Jenny (she/her)
Jenny is a practicing witch, reader, and shamanic practitioner. Through her spiritual and academic studies in translation, she realized that we are all spiritual translators, interpreting our dreams, signs in nature, and readings. Her goal is to help people realize and live their destinies, so we may all come together to create a world in which we honour each other, ourselves, and nature.

Yoga has been an integral part of Makaela’s holistic lifestyle for more than a decade. She is known for her bright, vibrant energy and philosophical wit. In class, Makaela encourages everyone to embrace their daily authenticity and practice intuitively. She provides guidance that is stimulating for both the body and the mind; while striving to create a safe space to cultivate meaningful connections to the self and to each other.
Marianne (she/her)
I believe that laughter is a necessary component of a yoga class. One of the things I enjoy most about teaching beginners is watching students become more aware of their bodies. There are amazing moments in our practice when our unconscious movements and patterns become conscious. I love to hear about your 'a-ha!' moments.
Marina (she/her)
Marina is a connector at heart. Her bright, bubbly and cheerful personality allows her to foster beautiful connections.
This is the result of connections she has made and a community that has been so pivotal to her personal growth journey.
Igniting a desire to offer others similar opportunities to grow into their best selves, Marina is currently in the process of taking her Reiki training and is avid hugger of both, humans and trees.
