Tantallon Owner/Instructor/Physiotherapist
Amy was introduced to yoga during her studies in Kinesiology and Physiotherapy. She instantly fell in love with the positive effects that yoga had on her body and after a few years, began to experience the powerful effects on her mind and spirit. As an avid runner and running coach, Amy suffered recurrent and longstanding injuries. Her loving husband Gordie purchased a yoga package for Amy and the rest is history! Addicted to the feelings of enhanced self-awareness, freedom and physical transformation, Amy went on to attain the 200-hr teaching certification with Breathing Space.

Amy's teaching style includes elements from her physiotherapy expertise and sports background. She believes that through yoga, people can heal in many ways: emotionally, physically and mentally. Her classes are lighthearted, energetic and most importantly to Amy - inclusive.

Liz's passion for living life authentically is a direct result of her yoga practice. Her practice has given her the tools to realize many of her life’s dreams, including leaving her career to be a full time mom, going back to school to study nutrition, becoming a yoga teacher and to live by the ocean.  Her training with Breathing Space Yoga Studio helped her to see yoga from a different perspective and thus make the transition into her role as teacher.  Her classes focus on mindfulness and encouragement to connect mind to body and breath with movement.

Jacynthe fell in love with yoga the first time she stepped onto the mat at Breathing Space in Tantallon. She came to yoga while training for a Half Marathon looking for a good stretch.   She found that and so much more.  She found herself feeling more alive, found a better, healthier way of living and she found a lovely sense of community.  When not teaching or practicing Yoga, Jacynthe enjoys hanging out with her husband, Greg and their dog, Stella, sailing in St. Margaret's Bay and traveling across Canada visiting her lovely family.

Christine is certified as a STOTT Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer Specialist, Nutrition and Wellness Specialist, Resist-A-Ball Specialist and Post Rehabilitative Exercise Specialist.
Her approach to fitness is to build a solid foundation from which all other aspects of health and wellness develop. This begins with a strong core and leads to strength, mobility and flexibility. Pilates is a journey rather than a destination…a journey in which Christine looks forward to being your guide.
 
 
Bryan, also known as YogiB, expresses his passion for the yoga tradition by honoring it in each moment of the day, on and off his mat. Greatly influenced by the teachings of Krishnamacharya and other great yoga masters, YogiB is a dedicated student of yoga, meditation and eastern approaches to wellbeing. His personal asana practices of Ashtanga and Yin enable him to enjoy equanimity of body, spirit and mind.

YogiB’s classes encourage you to draw your awareness inward while engaging your bandhas and breath as you transition with purpose into, through and out of each asana. He generously and graciously shares his learning’s with all; and believes everyone should do at least one Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward facing dog) every single day. He looks forward to connecting with you in his classes.
   
  The goal of Yoga is to always observe things
accurately and as a result never act in a way
that will make us regret our actions later.
