Lindsay

Lindsay Gordon has been practicing yoga since 2008. The first class she attended was out of pure curiosity of the practice and her interest immediately developed from there.

Lindsay is very outgoing and loves to travel and be active so Yoga has always been a great compliment to those passions. Lindsay travelled to Nicaragua and it was here that she found the joy of incorporating yoga into her everyday life along with surfing, eating amazing local food and enjoying the beach lifestyle.

Lindsay has practiced and studied in many yoga classes with differing teachers, learning a diverse range of philosophies and styles, focusing on the ones she preferred empowered her to deepen her practice and knowledge and become more inspired to teach and pass along this ancient practice. This led her to taking the 200-hour Teacher Training in Nicaragua at a small eco-resort on the Pacific coast with Kimberly Waugh and Alysa Treen guiding her along the way.

Her classes are a mix of Hatha and Vinyasa flow integrating alignment, core work and breathing techniques with basic poses and creative sequencing to keep it fun and energetic. Each class is designed with an overall intention to encourage students to find they’re honest edge in each pose while keeping the benefits consistent and they’re progress always evolving.

Lindsay is the owner of a small and vibrant yoga studio in Waterdown called Yogashala, it has an amazing community with a diverse roster of teachers and classes that inhabit the space and schedule.

Her main intention to share with those who practice with are to remain present and enjoying each moment and that is what matters most to her, keeping it nice and simple!

Cheri

Cheri has been practicing yoga for over 10 years, with a special interest in the Iyengar/Hatha lineage. She completed her 200 hour YTT with our own Barb Leese, and is currently enrolled in the 500 YTT program at Purna Yoga College.

She continues to travel to Seattle, Washington to work with Asana Master Aadil Palkivala, whose knowledge and influence is shared throughout every one of Cheri’s classes. One of these includes Aadil’s Spinal Rejuvenation series, which was developed to reverse the aging process of the spine. You can also find Cheri guiding other specialized practices including Align & Refine, Wall & Restore, and SUP Yoga in the summer months.

Cheri utilizes her widespread knowledge and experience to help her students deepen their practice, sharing effective techniques she’s acquired over the years. She has a contagious passion and love for yoga that shines bright in every class. Thanks to her unique style, you’ll leave feeling inspired by newfound perspectives and noticeable progression in your mind, body, and soul.”

Jen

I have been practicing various healing modalities for over 12 years, but I’ve been on this journey since early childhood. Today, my practice encompasses Integrated Energy Therapy (Master Instructor level), Axiational Re-Alignment, PSYCH-K, Crystal Healing and Reiki. I believe that each of these therapies can bring deep healing, stress relief and reconnection to one’s greater purpose. Often times within the session, clients are provided with intuitive information that will best help them in overcoming current challenges or capturing opportunities. Each session is guided by one’s own higher self and, as a result, is often comprised of a unique blend of these different therapies, each of which is unique to the particular client.

Why receive an energy session? Our lives are influenced by many different energies. While we cannot see them, they can (and do) profoundly affect our state of mind and our health. Energy therapies provide an effective series of simple techniques that can dramatically reduce levels of stress – an underlying cause of many types of disease – and enable us to harness the vital energies of nature to create balance and well being of mind, body and spirit.

Receiving an energy session reconnects your mind, body and soul, allowing you to deeply relax with a sense of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health and clarity. Energy therapies (Love and Light) bring you closer to your centre of being and back in alignment with your soul – finding and expressing your soul purpose and achieving a sense of deep inner satisfaction.

The universe is our classroom. We are all here to undergo experiences that will enable us to become more in tune with our divine origins. The opportunity for soul growth is ever-present. I hope that I may assist you in your own personal journey towards enlightenment.
