Meet the Heatwave Team

Hi I'm Duane.  I am a certified RYT 500 from Modo International.  I consider myself a spiritual seeker from an early age, and I think that is why I feel a deep connection to Yoga.  It's also the reason I like to infuse my classes with the space necessary for your to connect with your own internal world. 

Please join me in the hot room as we explore the joy of movement and meditation with the aim of balancing mind, body and spirit.

Nancy is a movement specialist who advocates for optimal wellness with her students and private clients. Her career in physical movement commenced with her degree in Physical and Health Education at the University of New Brunswick where she was a varsity athlete. Her passion for movement led her to Yoga, where she discovered the full-circle she had been searching for. The connection of body, mind and spirit, in full self-expression through controlled movement and meditation, had her hooked.

Her contagious passion is rooted in her ageless attitude, living her own life with intention and self-compassion. The results allow people to live a life of less pain, improved posture and enhanced performance in simple everyday tasks, as well as their extra-curricular activities.
