Sylvie Gouin

As a Student and Teacher of Yoga, as a Mother, Business Owner and Registered Holistic Nutritionist with an active lifestyle, Sylvie is dedicated to the practice of yoga on and off the mat. In 2001 with Brian Oxborough, Sylvie founded Core-Elation Yoga and Massage. The name was chosen to emphasize the importance of corelating different modalities to allow for growth and elation from the core-out. Sylvie's unique teaching style, based on her ability to correlate valuable "on and off the mat" yogic philosophy to an accessible yet challenging asana routine is what allows students to leave feeling open, strong, flexible, intellectually stimulated and completely refreshed.

Sylvie is grateful to the many Teachers who have enhanced her life over the years through a variety of teacher training's, workshops and retreats here and abroad in the Kundalini, Tantra and Hatha Lineages. She is grateful to the many students who ask questions and share their experiences, to her daughter for being so pure and to her mother for introducing her to yoga in 1987 when Sylvie was only 16 years old. Over the years, Sylvie has developed a variety of programs to introduce yoga to the community at large. Programs for abused woman and adolescents trying to quite toxic habits have entitled her to receive the community builder award from united way.

Sylvie is Recognized at the 500hour level with Yoga Alliance and is Registered with the Federation of Ontario Yoga Teachers.As a lifelong Yoga student Sylvie currently continues her studies with Traditional Yoga Studies.

Eryn Kirkwood advaita-yoga.com

When Eryn (Shanti) met Yoga, it was love at first Asana. She was introduced to her first Vinyasa series by her mom, on Mother's Day, because the local gym was closed. Shortly thereafter, Yoga became a dominant force in her life, not only as a means for physical health and well-being, but as an all-encompassing lifestyle and philosophy, both on and off the mat. Mere months into a practice based on Baron Baptiste's DVDs, she committed to the Hatha Yoga teacher training with Yogi Vishveketu and has since completed various workshops and information sessions, including some with David Swenson. The experiences were life-altering. Since then, she has steadily included yoga into all aspects of her life, working toward a specialization in Yogatherapy and Yanumoja Yoga with Nikki. Her passion lies in sharing the miraculous benefits of a regular yoga practice. Her sense of humour and wide range of interests make each class an interesting and stimulating experience.
