About Hannah
Hello Everyone,
Yoga teacher training had been a long time dream of mine that kept getting put aside. I was too busy or distracted by other busy things but yoga had always been a part of my life. Yoga for me is a 'living well' strategy for me that I keep returning to. It's Restorative after a long bike ride, it helps focus my thoughts on stressful work days, it helps build core and upper body strength as I age (I'm way older than I look!).
The early days of COVID presented an opportunity, unscheduled time. I knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and the right time to jump in and take a Yoga Teacher Training course.
I completed 200 hour Yoga Teacher training with Maha Pura Yoga in Guelph, Ontario & am 'Get Fit where you Sit', Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Teacher (LVCYT) certified. I completed my 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training with ReNew Yoga. I also hold a Diploma in Recreation Leadership, a Post-Grad in Recreation Management for Older Adults and have completed 'Conscious Marketing: Social Justice-Focused Digital Strategies for Yoga Teachers' Accessible Yoga Training with Tristan Katz.
Being inclusive and Accessibility are of utmost importance to me. I strive for ongoing learning and continual mind-changing. Using props and a chair while doing yoga is a great way to expand on your existing practice or help yoga be accessible for you. Please take a moment to review my policy.
Why Blue Angel? Yoga can be a fart-y activity and Hannah can be a bit silly sometimes. Best not to suppress the gas within as you will find greater discomfort if you do! Good thing all the classes are online. Safety note: No actual farts will be ignited during class.
When not doing yoga... I'm playing the ukulele or cycling, working with volunteers, selling cheese or crafting massive cross stitches of famous paintings.
I look forward to seeing you online with your matt or/and chair... or at a ukulele jam!
