Maria is a devoted teacher and student of yoga. She teaches with a focus on increasing flexibility, strength and balance through stability. She encourages her students to be open and accepting of where they are today yet continuing to challenge them to strive beyond their boundaries. She teaches students to be observing of their own bodies and have greater alignment in their poses.

“My love of of Yoga brings me joy and an openness to learning. I wish to share this with others. When we are open and accepting of where we are today, it allows us to restore calm in our body, mind and soul so we can continue to grow.”

Jasmin’s relationship with yoga began roughly 10 years ago.   She had no idea what it meant to “do yoga”.   “I now understand that yoga is so much more than stretching. It is a full experience of the mind body and soul. A connection to something beautiful”. 

Jasmin completed her 200hr training with Marianne Wells in Costa Rica then went on to take her 500hr training with Healing Movements. 

In Jasmin’s classes you will experience the 8 limbs of yoga. It is her goal to hold a judgment free space where students can grow.  She uses an approach which is both gentle and strengthening,  it is her goal for both student and teacher to be carrying their groceries at age 80.

Lynn began practicing yoga about 14 years ago as a way to complement long distance running and gain some flexibility.  She fell in love with the practice and loved the quiet calmness it brought every time she stepped on her mat. No longer running, but active with bootcamp and hiking, yoga has become part of her life.

The desire to deepen her practice led her to complete her 200 hour training at Shibui Yoga under the direction of Leanne Kitteridge and more recently a restorative training with Carol Wray.  Lynn is eager to continue learning, training and sharing her love of yoga with others. She taught a beginners series, gentle flow, and restorative classes at Riverwise Studio.  Lynn believes yoga is for everybody and it is important to find a style of yoga that feels good in your body. She looks forward to seeing you in class! 

 The first time Gwen walked into a yoga class it felt as if she had come home. Not because she was “good at it” but because it provided a vehicle through which she could let go, breathe, and quickly stabilize her nervous system. This is the passion and gift she seeks to bring through her teaching. 

500hr Certified as a Yoga teacher through the Healing Movements Yoga Centre, Gwen has been educated to teach a mindful, connecting, restorative practice that encourages better movement, strength and health. Gwen’s guidance and practice encourages a mindful, playful body awareness that brings nourishment and peace to the mind, body and spirit.
