Kate has been practicing yoga since moving to the north from Ontario in 2011. In 2013 she completed 200 Hours YTT training at Yandara Yoga in Baja Mexico where she specialized in Vinyasa and Hatha. Kate’s practice and teaching style are rooted in the belief we are all incredible creations and deserve to feel good in our bodies; if we crave movement we should move, if we crave stillness we should rest, and we all deserve the space to ask ourselves what we need.

PRENATAL TEACHER

Jahliele began her yoga journey over 20 years ago, seeking to incorporate more movement and mindfulness into her routine. She completed her first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas in 2014. She aimed to continue to expand her knowledge with a second 200-hour Hatha yoga training in 2019 at Ravvi’s School of Yoga in Cyprus, but found out she was pregnant a few weeks before the program started. This experience sparked her interest into prenatal yoga and in 2023 she became a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT).

REIKI TEACHER

Laurence became a certified Reiki master practitioner of the Usui System of Natural Healing - Usui Reiki Ryoho - through four deepening years of training, practice and self-healing work. The unlimited subtleties of the Reiki realm broaden her perspective, and she decided to integrate other techniques in her practice. Techniques such as, crystal healing, guided meditation, breath work and sound bath. In addition to these services, she offers also consultations, to ensure the clients are feeling supported, protected and guided while they are processing their inner work. As a Spiritual Coach, she explores the deeper connections between people and the Universe and help her client to gain a new or deeper understanding of the world they live in and the energies that flow within it.
