Yoga
has been an integral part of Lori’s life for several
years and has seen her through many obstacles and challenges.
She sees yoga as a way to relax, rejuvenate and strengthen
the body and mind. Lori teaches Hatha and Power yoga and
has recently taken part in several Anusara yoga workshops.
She plans to become certified in the Anusara style this
year. Lori has a strong athletic background, playing competitive
sports from a young age and into university where she played
volleyball for the University of New Brunswick Reds. She
moved to British Columbia 12 years ago, fell in love with
the healthy lifestyle and way of life and decided to make
it her home. Her first yoga class happened by chance when
she decided to try it at the gym as another way to “work
out” She soon discovered that this ancient practice had
much more to offer. After practicing for 7 years she decided
to become certified and learn as much as she could about
yoga so that she could share her passion for it with others.
She hopes you’ll join her in her “Yatra” or spiritual journey
and share in the Love and Light that the practice of yoga
brings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

 JACKIE K. |
Jackie’s passion for yoga began when she first stepped onto the yoga mat in February 2007, with a simple goal of rehabilitating from her broken wrist and broken foot. She was blown away immediately by the inner strength and equanimity yoga brought her by simply being present on the mat. Jackie enjoys challenging her physical strength as a means to go further to pursue her quest for inner peace and freedom. Realizing how much yoga has affected her in so many positive aspects, she decided to become a yoga teacher, hoping to cultivate a similar passion in her students’ practice and inspire them to open their hearts to embrace yoga into their lives. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“We practice.
We float. We tremble. We sweat. We are a community. Together we strengthen our bodies and balance our minds. We pursue peace and cultivate kindness. We believe that practicing yoga is a catalyst for what we practice in our daily lives. “ (- borrowed from Manduka Website ) I am honored and excited to join the dedicated
teachers at Yatra. I look forward to sharing the awesome benefits of yoga with each and everyone of you. I teach Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:30. Blessing and beautiful breath.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

With a background in dance, movement has always been a big part of my life. I felt naturally drawn to yoga for its physical benefits, but soon found myself returning to the studio day after day for more than just that. Addicted to the post-yoga-class feeling, I aspire to teach classes that are both strengthening and calming. Inspired by new students, I look to bring a creative and playful flow to my classes, and a nurturing environment for my students. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
