Great way to start the week. Feel challenged and at a pace I can keep up with.

SHAUNA HAWKES
Yoga has been one of the greatest teachers in my life. For over 17 years, it has continually guided me back to what matters most – presence, self-awareness, and the ability to meet life with a little more steadiness and a little less reactivity.
Over the years, my understanding of yoga has expanded far beyond movement. Through my work in nervous system regulation, mindset, and human behaviour, I’ve come to see that our bodies hold incredible wisdom. When we slow down enough to listen, everything begins to shift.
My classes are an invitation to do exactly that – to breathe a little deeper, move with curiosity rather than judgement, and leave feeling more connected to yourself than when you arrived. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve mobility, or simply create a little space in a busy week, my hope is that you walk out feeling grounded, calmer, and more at home in yourself.
It truly is a privilege to share this practice with such an incredible community.

If you really knew me, you’d know…
That while I might look calm and grounded on the outside, I have a huge adventurous streak. I love exploring new places, trying new things, saying yes to experiences, and stepping outside my comfort zone. Life is meant to be lived.
When are you the happiest?
When I’m fully present. Everything else is a bonus.
