Hello & Welcome <3

​

This is a space where the focus is on helping you rediscover your sense of self and rebuild a deeper connection with body, mind and spirit.

 

My name is, Aurora, a YOGAMU-trained teacher living in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, for nearly 10 years. We offer more than just yoga—it’s about creating a space where you can feel comfortable, understood, and at ease within yourself, while cultivating unity between body, heart, mind and your everyday life.

​

From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the movement of the body. I was a dedicated participant in various gyms and boot camp classes, driven by my love for activity, intensity, and weightlifting. You’ll often find me exploring trails and immersing myself in the natural beauty that Nova Scotia has generously provided, running wild with my kiddos, or snuggling my abundant number of cats. 
(Eight... there may be eight of them. They're soft. It's fine.)

​

I have practiced yoga for 12 years, exploring many paths such as Vinyasa, Hatha, Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation, Yin, and Ashtanga. My love for Ashtanga blossomed after my first class in beautiful Grand Desert, Nova Scotia, which became a foundational aspect of my journey.

​​

I bring yoga into my daily life down by the Atlantic Ocean with the simple intention of connecting with others in meaningful ways amidst the roar of the waves. My approach is warm and genuine. With a natural gift for making others feel seen and cared for, I strive to create a welcoming environment, no matter where you are on your journey. My empathy and openness ensure that you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive. 

​

I am deeply inspired by my teachers—Vikash, Ajay, Tamlyn, Nikolai, Pattabhi Jois, and Adriene Mishler. Additionally, figures like the Dalai Lama, Baba Ram Dass, Desmond Tutu, Bob Marley, Joe Black, and Hayao Miyazaki have influenced my practice and philosophy. These inspirations have helped me cultivate a dedicated and challenging yoga practice, allowing me to deepen, explore, and play as I discover what yoga means to me. And continue to shape an intuitive teaching for all journeys through multiple levels of movement, breath, self-discovery, and presence.

​

In 2022, I took the leap to become a yoga teacher. Joining YOGAMU has been a profound blessing, helping me realize that my true happiness lies in yoga—teaching and sharing the practice with others. After receiving my certification in early 2023, I delved into meditation and quickly became certified in breathwork. I now teach the beautiful souls journeying through Liverpool and White Point, Nova Scotia, while continuing my studies to become a Yoga Therapist through YOGAMU, with the goal of providing an even deeper, more personal yoga experience.

​

My classes are muti-faceted. They are intuitive. With toes dipped into all paths of yoga. We will dive into slow paced yin and micro yoga, working on mobility and mind-body movement. We will move into breath work and meditation, practicing presence and stillness. And sometimes, we bring the fire with holds, breath to movement, intensity and wobbly laughter. No matter what the class may entail, the goal is not to do, but to be. Over time, you may notice shifts, small or big, within body and mind, creating this deeper connection to Self. Witnessing new found depths within my students is magic. And watching this beautiful balance of gentleness and relief mixed with creating deeper space within self-made bounds sparking the wonder and curiosity of what's next.. It's just down right, amazing. But in the end, your practice is your journey and I am merely a guide on this path.

​​

At the core of yoga is unity, derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj," which means "to yoke." In the West, it may be challenging to find a yoke (unless you happen to visit my parents and glance at the one above their dining room table), but without it, today wouldn’t exist. Farmers would use a yoke to pair a mature ox with a younger one, allowing the younger ox to gain experience and create a more stable future. How fitting! Together, we can cultivate a more stable foundation for tomorrow. Each movement, moment, and breath brings us closer to our true selves. <3

​​

Whether you’re attending a yoga retreat or joining a class at White Point Beach Resort, The Emera Center or somewhere else in these beautiful lands, you’ll find that this experience with me isn’t about perfection—it’s about community, growth, presence, having fun, getting curious, and the peaceful feeling of knowing you’re exactly where you need to be. So join me on this beautiful adventure and meet yourself where you are.

​

Thank you to everyone who has joined me in practice over years. It has been a gift to flow, breathe, and be with you.

​

Much love & Shanti,

Peace to you.
Aurora <3
