Meet Claudia
Founder | Vinyasa + Yoga Nidra + Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher + Meditation Facilitator + Breathwork Facilitator + Certified Doula
Claudia embarked on her journey of practicing yoga back in 2009, initially driven by the desire to create beautiful shapes through the physical asana. However, within the first few years, her perspective of what yoga was shifted from a physical viewpoint to a practice that truly embodied the mind, body and soul connection. This transition firmly sowed the seed of yoga within her. As time passed, she observed the positive transformations occurring within her physical, mental and spiritual well-being all due to her consistent yoga practice. This metamorphosis inspired her to delve deeper into various complimentary modalities such as Meditation and Breathwork, to help enhance her understanding and deepen her personal development.
Her teachings are centred around providing a nurturing, non-judgemental space that encourages her students to dive deeper into their practice and their inner selves. As a teacher, her approach strives to ignite transformative experiences that foster genuine connection and self exploration while still having fun and enjoying the experience. Claudia skillfully weaves in her intuition and wisdom into her classes, adding an extra layer of depth that is designed to nurture the soul in our increasingly modern, fast pace world. She feels coming onto our mat allows us the freedom to connect with ourselves, others and our higher Self.
“For me, yoga is not a practice, it’s a lifestyle. My favourite part of yoga is not the asana but the BREATH. Breathing truly is the most important thing that we do, it translates into how we feel energetically, emotionally and mentally. Through the breath we have a way to change our energy at will.”

Meet Amanda
Hatha + Yin + Yoga + Meditation + Teacher
Amanda is a foodie, a yogi and a really good mom. She began studying yoga in 2012, and since then it's become the foundation for how she moves through the world. She is a dedicated student and brings what she learns to her teaching. She hopes that her methods encourage personal agency, curiosity and a sense of belonging. She loves the sangha (community) that yoga offers, as people come together to explore their bodies and breath. But more than body and breath, it is her experience that yoga provides a framework and the language for us to act when we need to, think critically about the world we live in, and accept the hard things - there are always hard things.
Her style is aligned with the time of day, time of year and how people are feeling in their bodies. She appreciates that people like to feel strong, so when the time is right she will guide a powerful movement practices. She also appreciates that there is a time for rest and recovery, so when called for, you can count on her for slow, grounding movement. There is always an element of breathwork and meditation in her class.
