BRAMPTON READERS' CHOICE 2024:

GOLD WINNER, Yoga Teacher

Teaching Style: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - my Pilates classes are gonna make you SWEAT but I also love hosting supervised nap parties (Restorative & Somatic Yoga).

Why I Teach: I've had multiple back surgeries, and struggle with physical limitations as a result. I want to help people discover that no matter what challenges you face within your physical container, no matter how old, how young, how busy your mind is, we can ALL benefit from a daily movement ritual.

Hometown: Guildford, Surrey. England. A very historical town with Saxon roots dating back to the 5th Century.  It has cobbled streets, a Norman castle and a cathedral made famous by the 1976 film "The Omen"

Teaching Style: Rather like a mixed tape - Some rock, some roll, some slow and deep, some introspective, sometimes a new release and sometimes a rerelease. A yogic catalogue!

BRAMPTON READERS' CHOICE 2024:

DIAMOND WINNER, Best Fitness Program

My passion for movement began at eight years old through organized sports—soccer, volleyball, running, ball hockey, and swimming. That love of being active led me to study Kinesiology, and I completed my degree at York University in 2012. After graduating, I developed a true strength-training routine and soon earned my personal training certification.

For the past ten years, I’ve worked as a personal trainer, continuously learning new training styles and exploring fresh ways to stay healthy in an ever-evolving wellness world. I’m committed to helping others enhance their physical and mental well-being through an active lifestyle.

Favourite Book: The Book of Joy - Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Douglas Abrams

My Healthy Ritual: Waking up to a steamy cup of coffee, aiming for 1 vegan meal a deal, and maintaining a daily yoga practice.

SUN: STRETCH - Flow I at 9:00am

Social Media: @casscraves

 

Teaching Style: I emphasize the power of breath and the importance of moving with love.  My approach integrates intuitive movement with focus on Drishti (gaze), the rhythm of prana (breath), the stability of foundational asanas (poses), and the spice of tapas (heat).

Favorite Pose: ‘Superwoman’ - standing in your power. The idea of showing up for yourself and owning your decisions. Accepting yourself fully in all of your dimensions, in shadow and in light. Easier said than done, but a practice worth engaging in.

Yoga is my faith, and I have faith that every time I come to the mat, I will feel better

FRI: STRETCH - Flow I 60 at 9:30am

Social Media: @wearealljustvisitors

 Teaching style: My classes incorporate core yoga poses that promote a healthy body and mind. My sequences are flowy and encourage the body to move through cyclic movements such as sun salutations, moon salutations or a more abstract and free flow movement. Closing each class with an extended savasana is key to my teaching style!

Can be often found: checking out new coffee and tea cafes in the city, or board game cafes! Basically I can always be found in some type of cafe, lol!

Favorite pose: Matsyasana - fish pose 

TUES: STRETCH - Flow I 60 at 6:00pm

Social Media: @blacklotusyoga

 Teaching Style: Slow, gentle, supported movement focused on awareness of the breath, mind and body.

My Healthy Ritual: Rising before the sun with coffee, yoga and journal 

Favourite Book: Stillness is the Key – Ryan Holiday
