RYT 1000, C_IAYT Yoga Therapist

Movement Optimist

Welcome to the Yoga Effect Calgary. I’m glad you’re here. 

I’m a certified Yoga Therapist recognized by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT).

It’s my experience that yoga can have a positive influence on anyone and I’ve been watching this happen since 1999.  As cliché as it sounds, it’s true, if you can breathe, you can practice yoga.  Yoga isn’t about tight black pants and being bendy.  It’s about an open mind and willingness to explore with curiosity.

Years ago, some of my students dubbed me a “MOVEMENT OPTIMIST”.  It’s because one of my strengths is helping people move better, become playful again, regardless of their perceived limitations.  While I work with movers of all ages, most of my clients are 30-85 years young.  I take movement and unpack it, break it down, adapt it if needed and make it digestible for all, so everyone can reap the benefits.

I’m eager to share yoga with everyone, from the weekend warrior to those currently seeking rehabilitation from injury or health challenges.  I’ve collaborated with athletes and teams, in particular baseball, golf and ringette as well as the medical and research communities.  

If you have been asking yourself how you can feel better, reframe your perspectives on stress and just generally find appropriate ways to become stronger as you age, then let’s connect.  I’m here to help you begin to enrich your life, both on and off the mat.
