Meet Arlene

I first began practicing yoga at my workplace in 2001. The teacher would say, "Don't judge; just notice." Week after week, these words began to resonate with me. I noticed, I listened, I left that job and returned to university for graduate studies in English Literature and Composition. To supplement this, I studied for an intensive TESOL certificate where I met my future spouse.

In 2014, while studying for an HR diploma, my final assessment was a learning and development presentation which I chose to focus on relaxation. I loved delivering this presentation so much that it inspired me to take the leap into yoga teacher training, and I haven't looked back. I've been teaching yoga full time since 2015.

While I've studied different styles of yoga, my favourite classes focus on relaxation. From a relaxed state, so many layers of the body unfold -- the mind relaxes, the body relaxes, tension eases, the breath flows freely.

Whether you're interested in yoga for mobility, flexibility, or relaxation, I think yoga class taps into these...and so much more! It has for me, and I hope to share my love of yoga and its benefits in class.

(But if you're looking to learn headstands, you might be disappointed!)

Yoga has so many benefits, and I can honestly say it has transformed my life and encourages me to continue growing into a happier being.
