Sian (she/her)
My practice + teaching continues to evolve as I continue to learn. My classes offer a welcoming space for us to experience a well rounded practice encompassing not just yoga asanas (postures) but stillness, breathing and enquiry.
I use a trauma informed approach to lead you through a strength-based yoga class. There are options for everyone, and you don't have to be able to touch your toes.
Outside of the yoga room, I enjoy camping + kayaking in this beautiful province. I'm a slow but committed 10k runner and a cat-carer to Maggie our 2 year old rescue kitty who often takes the lead in Zoom class.

Over the last few years I have been interested in natural and functional movement. I've spent time learning from Katy Bowman (Nutritious Movement), Brea Johnson (Heart + Bones Yoga) and Cecily Milne (Detour Method) all have given me such valuable insights and introductions into biomechanics and the movement world. I am insured to teach.
