Nathalie (Nathie) has been practicing yoga and mindfulness for over 14 years. She really wanted to expand her awareness and savour the health benefits of yoga, meditation and sound healing. As a classically trained vocalist, her voice is her instrument for healing and wellbeing. Yoga practice and teaching has taught her a way to connect more deeply with herself and others and allowed her the space to grow during challenging times in her life. She discovered the beauty and fun in the simple things, being present in the here and now. Her passion grew into teaching.
“Yoga is a lifelong journey of awakening and remembering, a fine balance between being and letting be, continuously allowing the space for transformation and expansiveness, it really is the Art of Awareness” Nathie.

Jade Fournier
Yoga Instructor
Born and raised in Navan, Jade has always been active. She danced competitively for most of her childhood. When she became a university student in communications, she had to let go of dance and signed up for her first hot yoga class with her sister. She soon realized that in order to do great things she would have to take care of the only body she will ever have. Jade completed her Level 1 yoga teacher training in Kelowna, B-C in July 2018. Her yoga mat is a place of evolution, acceptance, healing and learning.
