Moving from Calgary to the east coast has been a great experience for Lisa. One of Lisa’s dreams in life was to one day open a Yoga studio,  shortly after moving to Moncton that dream came true and she opened Bodywise yoga studio.

Lisa’s classes are vibrant, flowing, inspirational and down to earth. She embodies a deep sense of intuitive awareness, as an instructor, and is responsive to her students in a way that communicates compassion, peace, and happiness. She has been practicing yoga for 14 years, has a strong background in gymnastics, and has been a certified yoga instructor for 9 years.

Over the years she has enjoyed the opportunity to practice a rich variety of yoga styles, including, Ashtanga, vinyasa flow, kundalini, iyengar, and Yin. She believes in the importance of having many different teachers and an open mind. One of Lisa’s dreams is to see as many people practicing yoga as possible, because she knows how much it has improved her quality of life, thought her how to live more consciously, and would love to see everyone experience the healing art of yoga.

Beth enjoys working with and teaching the anatomy of massage and yoga, as well as helping people cultivate the peace that we all have inside.  “It is about connecting the mind, the body and the spirit, a lot of people do not live in that harmony.  Once that happens we are capable of handling stress both physically and mentally and we can enjoy our lives in balanced way.”

Originally from Moncton, NB. I have spent the last three years travelling and studying yoga in British Columbia; I studied Ashtanga Yoga in Nelson and then lived at Yasodhara Ashram for seven months, completing a dynamic Yoga Development Program.

My teaching background includes chair yoga for seniors, workshops for youth and adult classes for all levels. I was a resident hatha yoga teacher at Yasodhara Ashram

I am certified to teach in the Yasodhara style, an approach to yoga that focuses on individual body awareness, breath-work and yoga as a tool for self-development and awareness. I also practice Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow and incorporate both styles into my classes.

My background in theatre & passion for my own practice allow me to communicate the tradition of yoga effectively and safely, adapting classes to meet the needs of my students. In developing classes for all ages and levels I want to share yoga as practice to improve quality of life!

Erin (CYT) has been exploring yoga for over 14 years and is grateful for what she learns on and off the mat on a daily basis. She is thankful to all of her teachers, including Ruth Richmond, Shakta Kaur, and Doug Keller. Her uplifting and supportive classes help people to uncover their true selves and inner strength; acknowledging the light that resides in all of us. Classes emphasize cleansing the body, strengthening muscles and deeper tissues, balancing the glandular system, and revitalizing the nervous system.

Leave old habits behind and set a strong foundation so you can bloom with health and vitality! The body wants to heal and by deepening our connection between mind, body, and spirit we dissolve stress, tap into our own source of deep healing, and have fun along the way. “You owe it to yourself to be yourself.” Yogi Bhajan
