Summary

I am a passionate Yoga Instructor adept at working with as many as 1-100 students from in-home one on one sessions, online, to large retreats across Alberta offering a range of mindfulness classes. Well-versed in compliance requirements, safety, and customer relationship management. I leverage diverse styles and techniques for different skill levels. A caring, patient, and observant leader with a calming style.

Having created a great personal and spiritual transformation with Yoga over the last decade, always eager to share a message of hope with others using calming Yoga styles such as Yoga Nidra, Meditation, Restorative Yoga, and Yin Yoga. Installing what I love most into a gentle practice and allowing students to surf through the experience to the innermost, deepest levels of relaxation where their whole body is being permeated by peace of mind and profound stillness.

One of my greater accomplishments is working with a Kamra Program at The Compassion House which is a true sanctuary of healing for cancer patients across Alberta. Navina Yoga proudly supported this incredible space and offered a weekly class to the residents for 8+ years now. Adding to that I am the co-creator of Essential Sessions which is a Restorative Meditative Practice paired with doTERRA Essential oils, other workshops include Yin & Chakra's also with Essential Oil blends crafted by myself, one for each Chakra. I am currently in training for a YIN for Skin workshop, this experience brings a holistic wellness retreat feel to the studio and will be shared by fall 2023.

I have also teamed up with local businesses and corporate companies throughout North America bringing mindfulness into the workplace, Saje Natural Wellness and Loshen & Crem Boutique to name a few local venues.

I will always continue to be a student of this practice; each class is my opportunity to learn and continue to grow. My goal is to guide you through some simple but very effective Yin & Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra & Meditation techniques allowing all your senses to be stimulated and soothed, leading to a state of ease and well-being. My yoga is for everyBODY!
