A former swimmer and fitness instructor, Angela practiced yoga on and off for many years but fell in love with Hot Yoga in 2010. The benefits she received were amazing: increased breath awareness, flexibility, and reduced stress kept her coming back and helped transform her sporadic practice into a daily one. Inspired by what this wonderful, sweaty practice was bringing to her life, she wanted to share this with as many people as possible, and graduated from Maritime Yoga College with her RYT 200 certification.

Holly was born and raised in Meadowbank, PEI. After spending 11 years living away in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Alberta, she feels so blessed to be able to return home again with intentions of planting roots and getting settled back into the east coast life style.
A back injury was what first had Holly curious with Yoga. After exploring different types, lineages, and studios, Holly found a familiar sense of "coming home" with Vinyasa.
Holly completed her 200Hr YTT at Halifax Yoga. After her training she became aware of a deeper spiritual shift and started to see a different perspective in regards to teaching. Holly hopes to offer and create a similar experience for her students. Her students have become her biggest inspiration and motivation.
Holly is strongly influenced by Kundalini and will often drop "energetic" tips to deepen your practice. In Holly's class you will experience a focus on mantra, self love, proper alignment, meditation, and a quircky sense of humour.
