Being born, raised and still living in Calgary, this is where my desire to travel comes into play! I'm a water baby and feel most at home by the ocean. Having traveled to over 35 countries, I'd have to say Nicaragua, Hawaii, Bali, and Japan are on the top of my list of favourites.

 

Growing up, I never played many sports or did much physically. My friend invited me to my first yoga class in 2004. She said it was hot but I didn't expect the room to be 40 degrees with humidity! I'll be honest, I didn't understand the heat and the need to move and bend our bodies in such awkward shapes. I bought a 10-pass and said to myself "at least commit to that"... who knew it would lead me to where I am today!

 

Yoga ended up being much needed therapy; physically, mentally and spiritually. It enriched my life and I completely fell in love. Cliche as it may be, my desire to instruct began as a means to escape and mend a very broken heart. In 2013, I travelled to Hawaii to embark on one of the greatest experiences of my life, my yoga teacher training. It's truly a privilege to be able to hold space, and share my knowledge and passion for the practice.

 

Teaching is an ongoing learning process and has been quite an adventure! I never saw myself as someone creative but being able to guide students to move and flow on their mats is truly in my eyes, a form of art. 

 

I always told myself I would become a chef if I didn't make it as an instructor so if I'm not teaching or practicing, you’ll generally find me in the kitchen whipping up homemade pho or baking goodies for my twins... Yes, I have identical twin boys! In fact, that is where the name "Harmony" comes from, as twins are often called "Harmony Babies".

 

I have over 11 years of management experience; 6 years in the fitness industry and the remaining 5 years in retail, hospitality/restaurants or customer service. Throughout my time at fitness studios I've increased sales by over 200%, doubled memberships, brought businesses from 4 years of consecutive annual lose to a profit within 1 year, hired and trained skilled instructors, built warm welcoming communities and helped studios thrive!
