Liberty Movement & Wellness has only one rule:
Enjoy your practice!
Liberty Movement & Wellness began as, and remains, a grass roots studio. We believe practicing yoga or Pilates is its own reward. One person’s practice may be vigorous and flowing, another’s slow and precise. One may have been practicing for years, another just beginning, so sequences are tailored for the individual student.
Each practice is one’s very own and each session carries the joy of connecting the mind, body and spirit. Yoga is non-competitive and we encourage students to take their time practicing, listen to their body, and never move in pain!
Liberty Movement & Wellness’s teachers are RYT-certified instructors. They are dedicated to the study of the human body and yogic philosophy, our teachers understand and respect the wide array of their students’ experiences. They each teach from their own unique experiences and their classes are infused with a sense of humour and an in-depth knowledge of the body’s workings. The allow people to truly connect with the breath to open the body and mind.

“People who take a proactive role in their well being go through a profound transformation. My wish is to provide students with more than a stretch class, but an opportunity to play, explore, discover and connect with themselves at the deepest level as a guide through their own journeys. I once believed that people don’t change. But Yoga changed me. My daily practice has given me perspective, balance, and most importantly, an unconditional gratitude and respect for life. On the mat, one is at home.
I recently wrote and produced an interactive Yoga DVD for children, educators and parents called Yogapals. This DVD blends traditional Hatha yoga,with an innovative educational approach to learning poses in a fun interactive way. You can view a clip of Yogapals at www.yogapals.ca.
