Welcome to Trailside Yoga

I believe we stand at the crossroads of life more than once in a lifetime. It can be a beautiful place, and it can be a scary place.  In March 2016, I decided to change directions and turn down a different path. It proved to be the right choice.  I spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica training with Marianne Wells, completed my 200 hour module and became a Registered Yoga Teacher. I started teaching out of my home studio and then expanded to various local studios in the Caledon area.

2019 was another year of growth as I moved forward on my path and expanded my skill set. I trained with Deanna Villa at TMT and became a certified Thai Massage Practitioner.   In the fall of 2020, working solely out of my home studio was perfect, but wanting to expand, we renovated a larger studio and opened Trailside Yoga at The Forks of the Credit Inn just around the corner from us.  When Covid-19 forced us inside and to close the doors on the studios, we turned to new online platforms to continue our yoga practice and to help bring a little bit of calm to a world in chaos. Fast forward to June of 2022, with the help of some good friends and a lot of work by my husband, we have a pretty amazing yurt tucked in the trees, just a quick stroll from our house. I am very excited to share this space with you in addition to the online classes that let me reach friends across various borders and time zones.

I appreciate everyone who has shown up to a class, either live in the yurt or online. I strive to make my classes accessible and to provide a combination of movement for the body and stillness for the mind.

I close every class with my hands at my heart center and namaste. This literally means "I bow to you". It is also a sign of deep gratitude and respect to those in my class and to my teachers. Thank you for being here and I hope to see you on the mat soon!
