Your Teacher

Elaine here…your Teacher and guide at Sauble Beach Yoga. I’m so glad you’re here!

I received my yoga teacher certification in August of 2000 after completing my training on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. I studied with Shakti Mhi who operated Zen Yoga Academy in Vancouver and now resides in Israel.

Shakti Mhi’s style of teaching was very exact and quite demanding. I learned so much from her…but quite quickly realized her style was not mine. My teachings and classes offer you an opportunity to be yourself. I truly believe there is no perfection in yoga, that’s why we call it a yoga practice…not a yoga perfect!

In every class I teach you are encouraged to explore in your own way, at your own pace. Everyone belongs and the class offers options to go deeper or not! I always say that if you want to sleep for the whole class…please do!

Yes, I infuse laughter and corny jokes into my classes…sorry about that in advance! I contend that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously in our practice, or our daily life for that matter. When we let go of ego there is so much more space to learn, explore, and find what REALLY works for us and what doesn’t. Be your beautiful, remarkable self!!

So join me at the beautiful Oliphant Pavilion, a truly unique space where you are safe to explore your practice and everyone is welcome. The tea will be on!

Love and Hugs, Elaine
