Melody Young

Yin Yoga Instructor // AcuYin Yoga Facilitator

Melody’s began her yoga journey as a way to stay in shape, but somewhere along the way she found so much more. practicing daily both on and off the mat became a way of life that brought Melody to her love of teaching. After discovering the profound effect of yin yoga, Melody refined her skills through an intensive teacher training with internationally renowned Bernie Clark. Melody believes that if we move away from focusing on the physical discomforts, a pose can bring a deeper awareness and meditation within each hold, cultivating spaciousness within both the mind and body. It is through this awareness we can bring a sense of calm and balance, into all that we do. Melody teaches with a belief that we all have everything we need inside and everything we have we need. Each time we come back to our mat, each time we find our breath, the opportunity is there to find our beauty within.

The big spark inside of her that ignites others and their unique gifts to the world is a secret weapon - along with uniting others in community, even when they did not even think it was possible in their old crusty hearts. A yogi + world teacher, wanderlusting lover of hugs + snuggles, leadership consultant, wickedly witty & your newest soul sister.

 

Jess’ life mission is to be light and love, to ignite and unite and this certainly shines through in all that she does.  She aims to truly connect with people and explore their authentically unique gifts and human tenderness.  She believes that by opening our hearts to the giving and receiving of love, we cultivate powerful and inspiring communities. She is the founder of Embodied Adventure, a business that provides retreats, workshops and experiences that cause growth and happiness around the globe.

Lindsay Tokar

Offering love, light & yoga instruction since 2015

I began practicing yoga in my  hometown of Edmonton in 2005. It was love at the first deep inhale I took! My practice quickly became a part of my daily ritual, being the first thought I had when I woke and the last thought I had as I drifted asleep. I have lived between Calgary and Vancouver over the past 10 years and have enjoyed spreading my wings in many of the local communities yoga studios. I have immersed myself in the styles of Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga, Nidra & Baptiste Power yoga. I was lucky to spend 1 year volunteering at the Chopra Yoga Centre in Vancouver prior to moving back to Calgary in 2012. Alas, an opportunity arose in 2014 to take my yoga teacher training through Hot Yoga on 17th in the style of Vinyasa Flow, taught by Kathy Zorzit & Natalie St. Hilaire.

 

Yoga has planted the seed of awakening in me. Each time I return to my mat becomes an opportunity to connect to breath and being; to let go and to connect with my inner presence & awareness.

​

My desire to teach comes from a longing to be of service. To honor and dedicate energy towards those I can inspire, & be inspired by, in my community. To keep my passion alive & relevant through paying it forward. It supports the truth that we are all ONE. I love to share my (com)passion for this endless journey into self that we are all on.

I hope my students’ openness & commitment to the practice will uplift and transform them. That they will find a sense of delight in the opportunity yoga offers to be in the NOW moment, opening our hearts and releasing resistance .

Jessica McDonald

Registered Acupuncturist, Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist, Cupping Therapist

Areas of focus || Sports Therapy, Chronic and Acute Pain, and Stress Management.

​

When Jessica McDonald began to explore concepts in wellness over a decade ago, she found herself increasingly drawn to Eastern medicine. No matter the question, there was an answer. No matter the ailment, there was a treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine practices seemed not to be a surface solution, but address the whole person and get to the root of the issue. This concept is the foundation for TCM and for how Jessica chose to live her life.

 

Today, Jessica is a practitioner of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is a graduate of Alberta College of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a member of the Alberta Governing Board of Acupuncturists (CAAA).

 

Jessica is deeply embedded in the acupuncture community; in addition to supporting clients in her private practice, provides acupuncture treatments at an addiction treatment centre, and speaks to groups about acupuncture and wellness. Jessica restores her spirit with her dog, Willa, long walks, yoga, reading, cruising on her bike, watching movies, and gardening.

Caelin White

Clinical and Sport Performance Psychologist

After growing up in Vancouver, I travelled and worked around the world for a number of years before returning to university. I completed my honours degree in psychology at the University of British Columbia in 2006 and my doctoral degree in clinical psychology at the University of Manitoba in 2015. In 2014, I moved to Calgary for my predoctoral clinical residency and quickly fell in love with this young and vibrant city. Being an outdoor enthusiast, Alberta's blend of mountains, rivers, forest, desert, and true wilderness is a slice of perfection. When I'm not engaged in my own training and clinical practice, I'm usually spending time with friends and family. Relationships are very important to me. I'm also passionate about mental health advocacy work.

​

With respect to my athletic background, I've competed in a number of sports including baseball, soccer, judo, jiu jitsu, football, and rugby. Currently, I compete in ultraendurance obstacle course races and ultramarathons. Participating in these events has taught me firsthand about the factors contributing to resilience and high performance. Although these extreme events are sometimes daunting, I find the gratification of completing them is proportional to their challenge. And being a member of the broader community of competitors, supporters, and fans is both inspiring and humbling. It is truly remarkable what humans are capable of when they possess the right skills, motivation, and support.

Kael Klassen

Teacher || Healer || Guide

I am a teacher.

I am a healer.

I am a guide.

​

I truly am, and it took me a long time and a lot of lessons to get to the point where I could embrace and honour those titles.

​

In my life time I have witnessed abuse in close relationships. I have witnessed alcoholism and drug addiction in loved ones. I have had an eating disorder. I was married and divorced within the span of nine months, only ever having gotten married in the first place because of a crippling fear of disappointing people. I spent, quite literally, the first thirty-two years of my life oppressed by the belief that I was a burden and never, ever, enough. And finally, my sweetest blessing in disguise, I almost lost it all to post partum depression.

​

Post partum depression was the darkest, most difficult six months of my life. It was my absolute rock bottom. But I got through it. And, with much healing and the beauty of hindsight, I came to see that it was the Universe handing me a brilliant, shining second chance. It was the thing that left me naked, raw, and shivering, so that I could start again. It was the thing that broke every single wall that I had spent the last thirty-ish years of my life building up around my heart and left me with this beautiful, all-encompassing, compassionate heart that rules every aspect of my life.

​

It is my rebirth and I will not waste this second chance.

I am so deeply grateful to all of these experiences.

I know how to be of service because of them. I know compassion because of them. I know myself and the deep wisdom of my heart because of them.

​

Ultimately, I can see all of those struggles and trials as the beautiful gifts that they were. How they peeled back the layers and knocked down all of my walls, pointing me in the direction of my true purpose; of my soul’s calling.

And yet I can also recognize that I am, we are all, in a process of perpetual transformation.

I recognize how my greatest teacher was, and continues to be, the evolution of my life experience.

I recognize how steady prayer and meditation, journeying with Spirit, the Moon and Mother Earth, deep listening and even deeper surrender nourish the depth and the width and the fecundity of my journey, of my evolution.

I am here to teach, to heal and to guide, not by telling or prescribing, but by openly, honestly, being.

I look forward to sitting with you; to share space, experience, and healing, both yours and mine.
