Nicole Boyd
Hello! I completed a 300-hour teacher training at Breathe Yoga, Toronto in 2011 and I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2016. My studies are never-ending! There are always courses and workshops on my radar.
How I came to teach yoga started when I lived in Toronto. I found that whenever I left a yoga class I felt like I was skipping my way home. I stood taller, I felt almost giddy and more positive. There was an energy, a fire inside that had been stirred up. Yoga always felt really good. From there I decided that I wanted to learn more.
I love yoga and I have a great time teaching! My practice is ever-evolving and that is what I love most… a lifetime of change, growth and knowing. In my active classes I like use slow and controlled movements to light a little fire inside and add some challenge followed by periods of rest and grounding. Gentle classes are also a favourite of mine. I love moving the body in ways that we may not normally in our daily lives, movements that feel good and nourishing.
One of the best assets of a yoga practice is to become really interested in what you are doing. Be curious about the breath, how your body moves physically, what comes up emotionally and the energy you cultivate during your practice.
As a teacher I hope that I can help stimulate your curiosity in your practice as we learn from each other!
Jessie Powell
Hello Friends! My name is Jessie Powell and I currently reside in the beautiful town of Durham, with my family. I am a Mom of two rambunctious little boys and have been practicing Yoga since 2007. I felt an internal calling to complete my Yoga teacher training this year and I am nowhere to offer Yoga that takes a plunge into the inner self. As a human living in these hectic times, I truly believe that yoga and its principles can enrich day-to-day living on both a spiritual and physical level. What I am offering is a nourishing practice that includes Pranayama breathing techniques and gentle embodied movement.
I invite Yogis of all levels and ages to join me at the Yoga Barn and just Let it Be Yoga with Jess.
Ekaterina Petrovskaya
I am from Belarus but lived in Grenada, West Indies for last to two years, where I started teach yoga. I have been in yoga as a student for about 10 years and finally, I got certified last year. I taught Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga for SGU students (a huge med school), at True Blue Resort and was a substitute teacher at Spice Island resort I look forward to having fun with you in our class!
Stacey Bell
Stacey began practicing yoga at the age of 18, using it as a tool to de stress and exercise throughout her university studies. Now a full time Registered Nurse she finds she needs yoga more and more. With a busy, fast paced career she naturally gravitated towards the vinyasa and beat driven flows eventually leading her to Buti! She did her 200 hour in November 2018 through buti getting her certified in buti, hot buti and vinyasa. She loves the primal aspect, the musical intricacies and the grounding asanas and finds them to be “just what the body and mind needs to get away from the ego”. Stacey has since gotten certified in yin yoga and myofascial release with Eva at the barn in June and incorporates some of the teachings into her cool down and Savasanas. Meet her on the mat Thursdays at 7pm!
Tanya Grace
She is the more relaxed yoga teacher ever! Her honey flow class run’s every Monday Morning at 10am moving slowly and in a mindful way is how we can describe her class. There is always creativity involved in Tanya’s flow and always a surprise!
