Joanna - Instructor

Bonnie - Owner/Instructor

Joanna is a 500hr Yoga Alliance registered teacher. She completed her trainings and is a Global Ambassador with Yogacara Global. The 200hr Hatha and Vinyasa training was in Whistler in March 2015 and an additional 300hr in Bali in April 2017. She also completed a 50hr Yin Yoga certification with Bernie Clark at Semperviva in May 2016. Joanna's classes are inclusive and cultivate first and foremost a space for grounding. She strives to establish a sense of balance in the body through the concept of sthira and sukha, strength and ease. Her practice and teaching is slow and mindful, giving time to curiously learn from the body and the breath in each pose and transition. The creation of such a space gives the student the opportunity to develop a deeper awareness of their own bodies and to recognize that they truly are their own best teacher and guide as they start to listen inwards. She is passionate to share what she is learning on her own yoga journey and truly believes in the ripple affect that time spent on our mat creates outwards.

Christine - Instructor

Christine found the practice of yoga in 2013 and spent a few years doing yoga on and off. After debating on taking a Yoga teacher training for years, she finally went ahead and booked herself on an Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga teacher training course in early 2017. She took her teacher training with The Yoga People in London, England where she was living and working at the time. Taking this course was the best decision she’s ever made. It was the most challenging experience but she learned so much and it really fueled her interest in yoga and everything that it encompasses. Her passion is in helping her students find balance on and off their mat. She teaches in a light-hearted manner and loves playing with both yin and yang in her classes. Expect diverse classes with a focus on grounding and working with meditation. Her intention is to have her students leave each class feeling refreshed and renewed.

Years before Shelly began the physical practice of Yoga she was engaged in the practice of Meditation and Reiki, so when she was introduced to the teachings of Micheal Stone and Sarah Powers it really struck a chord in her. Both of these teachers blend Yoga with Buddhist mindfulness philosophy. You will find this mindfulness approach layered into her classes. Shelly feels fortunate to have the opportunity to share her passion for Yoga with the students that she encounters. Shelly is focused on the full experience of Yoga and the transformative nature of this simple practice when all of the intricate layers are woven into the equation: physical, mental, emotional & energetic.

Krissa - Instructor

Hi, I´m Krissa, 500hr certified Dharma Yoga teacher, global nomad, mother of two and creator of the Dharma Straps.

When I first started practicing yoga at the age of 17, yoga to me was a physical practice. I soon learned to call these poses, “asanas”. After discovering Dharma Yoga at the age of 24, yoga to me became a spiritual practice, a way of life that I wholeheartedly subscribed to. I felt so grateful and positively changed by my time on that mat that I decided to teach as my way of giving back. For almost 10 years, I taught classes and workshops in London, Hong Kong and Norway. Yoga made sense to me because its teachings and philosophy resonated on a deep level. At the age of 35, I was called to do ceremony in the mountains of Santa Cruz, California. It was through my experiences with shamanism, plant medicine and deep, soulful healing that I now find myself with a new framework for describing what yoga means to me. That word is: remembrance.
