Rebecca has extensive experience as a dancer, dance teacher and competitive dance coach, where she focused mainly on the study of Classical Ballet. In her mid-twenties after sustaining several injuries, Rebecca made the decision to transition from the rigors of Ballet, to practicing Hatha and Yin yoga. During this transition, Rebecca really saw value in what yoga had to offer with respect to optimizing both her physical and mental health, and she eventually decided that she needed to share these teachings with others.
In March of 2021, Rebecca graduated from the Yoga Teacher Training Program offered at White Pine Yoga in Pembroke, and offers one-on-one yoga instruction as a complementary treatment modality in her Massage Therapy practice, in addition to teaching group yoga classes at the Lowbanks Community Centre.
Rebecca skillfully combines her knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, with her passion for creative sequencing, in order to deliver enjoyable, well thought out, purposeful yoga classes for students of all levels and abilities. Rebecca focusses mainly of teaching Hatha and Yin styles of yoga.
Rebecca is very disciplined with respect to maintaining a healthy work/life balance. She spends her personal time jetsking, cycling, horseback riding, practicing yoga, sipping tea, participating in continuing education courses, building community and cuddling with her fur babies.
