Our Teachers

@ashleyrebekkah

Hey, I’m Ashley: a yoga teacher (RYT 500, E-RYT 200, YACEP), Respiratory Therapist, Certified Breathwork Coach, and founder of The Shala.

The practice of Ashtanga yoga has always been special to me. I enjoy introducing this style to students in an approachable way — I believe that it is a challenging and transformative practice that is accessible to anyone willing to do the work. I also love working one-on-one with students who are new to yoga to help them build a safe, strong foundation and develop an empowering personal practice.

You’ll find me teaching Vinyasa-style flow classes, following in the lineage of Jonny Kest, where we explore the connection of breath with movement.

Off the mat, I love spending time in nature with my dog Gatsby, cooking great meals, and drinking good coffee with friends.

I can’t wait to flow with you!

Hello! I’m Jade; a Yoga Teacher, Financial Analyst, and dedicated to life long learning.

I’m passionate about mental health and inspired by our increased capacity to experience our thoughts and emotions with awareness and grace as we practice mindful embodiment.

My Yoga journey began 10+ years ago and, like many who start the journey, a calling to deepen my knowledge led to completion of a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. After teaching for five years, my fascination with the intersections between science and Yoga philosophy, coupled with my commitment to helping others benefit from a safe, integrated practice, prompted pursuit of a 500 hour certification.

Stepping into the seat of the teacher allows me to support our community as we each strive to align our day-to-day lifestyle with our holistic well-being. My intention is to encourage the process of discovery, provide new pathways to awareness and inspire insight.

Hello! I'm Sarah.

​I have had the pleasure of learning from many incredible teachers.

I am an E-RYT 500 Yoga Instructor and YACEP with Yoga Alliance. My initial yoga training was through Moksha Yoga in Montreal of 2012. I have also trained in Flow and Prenatal yoga with Moksha International.

I trained with Bryce Yoga in Vinyasa Yoga, Bernie Clarke in Yin Yoga and Gloria Latham in Kundalini Yoga.

In 2016 I traveled to India to train in traditional Hatha and Pranayama with Sri Sahay Gyanshankar.

​I am also trained in Sound Therapy through the Institute of Traditional Medicine. In 2019, I traveled to China to study with a Daoist Master, diving deeper into energetic movement and meditation.

I am honoured by each and every person who invites me to share a piece of their journey with them.

@waughac

Hey, I’m Alex! I’m a coach that specializes in harmonized health and vitality. I’m on a mission to keep lifelong health, fitness and wellness simple, personal and future-proof by focusing on both the outer game of fitness (training, nutrition, environment) and the inner game (mindsets, skills, habits).

I got into the health and wellbeing space because I believe that personal transformation starts with personal care. We already have all the resources we need to self-actualize inside of us — they just need to be revealed.

In my off time you can find me spending quality time with loved ones, reading, or, of course, working out!

@delduca_anna

Hi, I’m Anna! I’ve been a student of Eastern philosophy, wellness practices, and religion since 1980. While my path to the present hasn’t been the most direct, decades of stress and finally burnout forced my meditation “hobby” into an effective daily practice.

Since leaving the corporate healthcare world, I’ve immersed myself deeper in Buddhist studies, practice and various meditation certifications. The practice and techniques are strength training for the mind. My classes are rooted in science, and are simple - but not easy. They work. I know, because I use them every day and I’ve become better at finding the comfort in discomfort.

Off the cushion, in the early morning, you can find me enjoying coffee, working out or running (slowly) on a trail.

@luminafamilyyoga

Hi, I’m Rebecca! I’m a certified yoga teacher for both little and adult yogis.

As a corporate office worker by day, I understand the importance of taking time to nourish both your body and mind each day, and I incorporate a variety of joyful movement into my daily routine.

In my classes, I work to create a welcoming community and comfortable atmosphere for students to open themselves to the messages of the Divine Spirit within them through heart-centred yoga and meditation.
