Group & Private Classes
You can find me teaching at a few different studios in the Ottawa area.
My yoga journey started when my mom introduced me to the practice and philosophy as a teenager. Since then, it has been a constant in my life and a wonderful pairing to my work as a therapist.
I offer private classes, corporate classes and one-time workshops for businesses, private events and organizations.
My teaching experience:
-
Various Yoga studios across Ottawa/Gatineau
-
The House of Commons (Government of Canada)
-
Carleton University's Sexual Assault Centre (workshop partnership)
-
Polyvagal informed Yoga (public yoga series)

Yoga Services

Trauma informed Yoga
Workshops and series available for studios & places of work.
These classes are taught from a trauma-sensitive lens, allowing participants choice, and agency over their bodies and practice.
Yoga can be extremely beneficial in helping regulate your nervous system, find safety within your body, and can contribute to post-traumatic growth. It can also offer a safe container to explore feelings and sensations & can help us connect to a sense of community.
If you are a studio owner, I also offer workshops on trauma and trauma-informed yoga to YTT and current teachers.
