We are Haley, Janik & Nathan, welcome to our studio. If you've been through the space often enough, there is a good chance you've seen the 3 of us here. First and foremost, this is a family owned and operated business.
The 3 of us have a deep love of movement and we try to collectively bring that energy to the space.
Fun Facts:
Moving through life with a total lack of hand-eye coordination, I (Haley) have always leaned towards activities like hiking, and dance. Conversely, Nathan has been playing rugby since the age of 14 and has yet to stop. Janik, being just 2.5 years old, loves pretty much everything but has a particular affinity for dancing to '5 little monkeys jumping on the bed.
Each of us share a unique history and relationship with movement and it is from these backgrounds that we draw our divers offerings. We invite you to learn a little bit more about each of our instructors and how we have come together to create this beautiful community of leaders in health and wellness.
To say that finding the practice of yoga was life changing for me would almost be an understatement. My first memorable experience was in 2013 when I had just moved to Toronto to start my degree. I still remember feeling so lost and out of place, however that first yoga class transported me; Not towards feeling at home within my environment, but towards finding that feeling of home within myself. By 2016 I had completed my first 250 hour YTT and started teaching almost immediately after. Since then I have taken many more training’s across the globe, including some of my favorites: Aerial Yoga, Insightful Adjustments, and Trauma Sensitive Yoga Training. I am so grateful to now get to share the practice I love so much, with so many, and I hope this mindful form of moving affords others the same inner sanctity it has afforded me.

Learn more about Personal Training & FSTAs a lifelong learner, I entered my Hatha yoga teacher training in 2009 with an eagerness to learn more about the philosophy and practice of yoga. Like many, I didn’t initially intend to teach, but teaching inevitably found me. The practice of yoga allowed me to find a deeper connection and understanding of myself and helped to build mental and physical resilience. It was the calmness of my mind after practicing that kept me coming back. Over 13 years later, and with additional training in the areas of trauma-informed, restorative, and pre-natal yoga, I continue to teach and share my knowledge of yoga with my students with the hope of sharing the same mind-body connection and calm that I have found with this practice. I teach from an alignment and breath focused viewpoint and always work to create a safe and fun environment. I hope you’ll join me on your mat and in your journey of self-discovery through yoga.

Take a class with LeahYoga has its way of finding you at exactly the right moment when you need it most. My name is Amie and yoga found me in my last year of high school during a time of uncertainty and unbalance. Not long after I found my yoga practice through my high school co-op, I decided to join a 200hr yoga teacher training during my gap year. Since finishing the program in March of 2022 I have embraced the ongoing journey of sharing my growing knowledge with others. In my classes I hold a space that allows us to slow down, quite the mind and tap into feeling. No matter the style of practice I will guide our breath as a foundation to allow greater awareness. I look forward to seeing you in studio as a student and instructor.
