Brittany 

Owner, Yoga Teacher, Children's Yoga Teacher

Since having my first daughter in 2012, I have been on a mission to live as healthy as possible. First that meant detoxing my home of harmful chemicals, making more eco friendly choices, and then learning to really nurture and take care of ME, mind, body and spirit! It's been a journey!

I am extremely passionate about empowering others, especially mommas, so when the opportunity to take this on came up, it seemed like it was meant to be! I am a former hairdresser and salon owner and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to own a business in this community again- especially one supporting holistic wellness, which is a huge passion of mine!

In early 2021, I completed a 96 Hour Children's Yoga Teacher Certification with Young Yoga Masters and truly enjoy bringing the blessings of yoga into little lives! I have just completed a 200 Hatha YTT with Vernon Yoga and look forward to expanding my reach, teaching classes for all ages!

I hope to use this space to continue to bring amazing things to Port Hardy, and our North Island communities, still through Yoga and Naturopathy, but so much more!

​I am fortunate to live, love, learn and play on the unceded land of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw people.

I am a mama with a deep love and respect for nature, yoga, dancing, all things creative and my healing journey. My yoga practice has carried me through some shiiit.

I am certified in the Hatha style and working towards becoming a yoga therapist. My passion is developing and sharing classes that are accessible for all through a gentle flow or calming restorative class.

Kelly

Yoga Teacher

I started practicing yoga in 2003, as a way to offset the rigors of field work, while working in forestry camps on Northern Vancouver Island.

My practice style ranges from an energetic inspired flow to a more calming restorative style yoga, balancing the yang and yin energy of our lives. I graduated from the South Okanagan Yoga Academy (SOYA) with an RYT-500-hour teacher designation in 2009. Since that time, I have trained with Judith Lasater, Eoin Finn, Marion (Mugs) McConnell and Carla Wainwright in Northern California, Ucluelet and Prince George, BC.

Yoga to me is a chance to come together in a collective, positive, uplifting energy that is most needed in our changing times. The energy created in a yoga class is truly inspiring and invigorating.

​I am new to the North Island and most recently taught at Ocean Mountain Yoga in Campbell River. I am excited to build a community of practice on the North Island and look forward to meeting you on the mat.
