Yoga, Sound Healing and Sacred Circles

This was the place where she graduated her first training in 2006, studied and worked with wonderful teachers from around the world, owned a studio at the bottom of the Acropolis and held trainings and retreats around the world. She is certified in Restorative yoga, Jivamukti and Vinyasa yoga and leads 200 and 300 hour trainings globally. She is excited to share her knowledge respect for all things yoga.

Yoga has been in her life for as long as she can remember. Her hippie parents practiced yoga and taught her when she was young, allowing her to explore without having a formal structure or teacher. Growing up, she discovered yoga to be sacred, healing and powerful. Whenever she needed clarity, insight or support, her practice has provided them, without fail. It is her honor to teach - to share what she has learned and practiced from her teachers is a way for her to impart her knowledge and what has helped her. Seva, or service, has always been a big part of yoga and her practice. Teaching is a way for Jonni-Lyn to practice being of service to others.

In Jonni-Lyn’s class you can expect to have fun. Joy is a part of life and a part of her classes! You will work hard, learn, breathe, chant, and connect with your body and your community. She also focuses on the healing powers of sound bath and Sacred Circles, especially for women. She loves to tell stories, encourage you to find your boundaries and think about what it is find meaningful. Her Teacher says it best: We are all reflections of the sun, separately shining our own light but collectively part of something bigger than ourselves.

Guided Self-Exploration, Coaching

Michele was born and raised in Grand Bank, Newfoundland but now calls Victoria, BC her home. She is a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy with more than 25 years of service and four command appointments. Since “retiring”, she has immersed herself in the study of values-based leadership and coaching. When not studying or working, she can be found on the beach, on the mat, or in the dance studio. Named one of the Women’s Executive Network’s “Canada’s Most Powerful Women – Top 100” in 2017, Michele believes in encouraging, inspiring, and mentoring women and girls to be the best version of themselves.

During a particularly bumpy part of her life journey, while posted to Thunder Bay, ON, the universe placed her in an apartment above a yoga studio - a move that would prove to be life-altering. Michele discovered the healing power or yoga, meditation, and breathe, explored several styles of practice, and connected with a life-changing community of teachers and friends. Her personal experience with yoga has invigorated her desire to help others find their strength and joy in life. A chance encounter with an old friend she hadn’t seen in 30 years (Jonni-Lyn!) has brought her to this new and exciting adventure!
