I'm Amy, an experienced yoga teacher, Level 2 Reiki Practitioner, QiGong instructor, wellness event co-ordinator and mother of 4.  

​

6 years ago my partner in love/life and myself were shopping for a home together and upon entering this magical backyard for the first time, we knew this place was something special.  Fast forward 2 years and I got my Yoga Teacher Training certification through Power yoga Canada. We've since altered it making it our own, adding in the Reiki shed, winterizing the sunroom yoga studio, adding in a beautiful cedar yoga deck and clearing space under the trees for quiet nooks and kids nature exploration areas.  The magic here is something we cannot take credit for.. these grounds have a beautiful healing energy and everyday we are grateful for this blessing.  Some call it "the manifestation station", others have called it "magical", I call it The Calming Tree Yoga Studio and it is our pleasure to share this special space with you!

 

My yoga journey began 30 years ago, practicing weekly with my mother, continuing into my high school years as a way to stay grounded and balanced.  Little did I know this Iyengar Style Yoga teacher, Burt Peeters had planted a seed that would years later grow into the tree that is my practice, my teachings and my joy. I went on to practice Power Yoga, a faster paced more vigorous practice than what I was used to.  This upbeat yoga practice interlaced with self inquiry and inner child healing, guided me though a transformation, shedding off layers of nonsense I had been carrying around for years.  This practice taught me to stand in my power! It taught me to lean into the discomfort of growth and above all, that underneath it all we are all the same...love and light.

​

Combining the different styles of practice along with my own life experiences, i teach from my soul to help uplift yours.

My teaching style has been referred to as "Soul yoga":)

Not like a class you find at the gym, my classes are catered to who shows up, what you need, and the pace you need it! We all show up on our mat for different reasons, from a different path, vibrating at different frequencies , feeling on different levels with a different intention for our practice.  My passion and mission, for every single class is to raise your vibration and bring you up !

​

Sharing and teaching yoga to children is another great passion of mine! Seeing the children sit peacefully and STILL in meditation, walking mindfully, creating their own unique yoga poses , using breath work as a coping strategy for calming themselves from an upset... are all great moments for me! I believe SELF LOVE cannot be taught too early! I strive to give the children that come to summer camp or to my Kids yoga classes opportunity to learn, teach and express and love themselves as they are.

​

Come by and meet me sometime, all levels of experience are welcome, wherever you are on your journey.

Namasté, 

Amy
