My yoga practice started when I was struggling as a single mom of a teenage girl. I had very little support and was feeling unsure of how to balance love and structure. I was feeling depleted. I knew that I was not being the role model that my daughter needed. It was through my first [...]
Yoga has brought a completion to my life. Allowing me to look inwards and have “ah ha!” moments. Letting go of the past and the future—living in the now. Just to be… to be totally present in this exact moment. Whether it is just to slow down and watch the leaves fall, the water rush [...]
As a mom of three kids, it is apparent to me that I need ways to nurture myself in order to be able to show up and be present for my family. If I am not feeling full—like my energy has been sucked out of me—then requests for my presence can seem overwhelming. Yoga is [...]
My practice of yoga began about four years ago when I moved to Kelowna. I had just ended a relationship; I found myself, after years of being away from family, living in close proximity with them, and many old wounds began to resurface. I knew no one else in town, and I felt alone, unhappy [...]
Why do I practice yoga?
My life as the mom of three small children, who are six, four and two, is very busy and full of different challenges. Serving meals, helping to prepare for school or preschool, being a negotiator in children’s arguments, taking them to classes after school: those are some tasks in my daily [...]

I’ve struggled my whole life with a condition called Chronic Urticaria which is brought on by anxiety and stress. Because of this I have been on and off many different medications through the years and nothing seems to really help me with my battle. Until that is, I found yoga. I started practicing yoga 7 [...]
I’ve been thinking about my practice before my Trinity Yoga Teacher training and how it is now, and there really is no comparison. I was one of the people that thought yoga was strictly on the mat and didn’t think into how yoga could benefit my life off the mat. Trinity has taught me to [...]
Practicing yoga has affected every dimension of my life. I sleep better. I make healthier choices and I have more energy. My body (and my mind) feels more at ease and probably the most profound effect I have felt is a deep inner calm. Peaceful. Most of the time I feel very, very relaxed. So [...]
