Yoga teacher Training
My daughter and I travelled to Costa Rica to complete our yoga teacher's certification - 2014. It was an exciting opportunity for us to spend time together while pursing our common goals related to health and lifestyle. Although I have embraced eastern philospies and alternative fitness & health practices into my life in the past, it was wonderful opportunity to study, practice and learn more about not only the 'asana'' or postures of yoga but the Yoga Sutras and the 8 Limb Path.
It was a great to have 3 months of travel, practice and to embrace cultural diversity in Central America while spending a month in each country including: Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua!

Since the early 90's, after the birth of my first child, I have been volunteering and teaching fitness classes at the YMCA
and at various other recreational facilities in Halifax, NS and Calgary, AB.
I have taught STEP, aerobics, cross-training, weights, aqua classes and deep water - aqua fitness classes.
It has always given me great satisfaction to share the health benefits of regular fitness and healthy lifestyle choices with others.
I enjoy working with individuals and groups to provide fitness experiences that challenge their bodies and thoughts around fitness, health, and lifestyle habits. I have also enjoyed working with youth teaching proper breathing & form techniques, and introducing them to new experiences. For example, teaching girls figure skating teams resistance training and a boys hockey teams deep water exercise classes.
