Yoga Instructor & Teacher Trainer
A former competitive athlete, fitness instructor, corporate and marketing manager, Kimberly used yoga to help herself heal from a sports injury, car accident and illness. She brings compassion, humour, and experience to her clients’ needs and challenges.
Early on Kimberly had a home meditation and movement practice but the moment as she took her first teacher training she knew that this was where is wanted to spend her time and share the benefits that yoga has given her. Always curious, she enjoys learning as much as teaching.
She is a Yoga Alliance certified E-RYT 500 and a continuing education (YACEP) provider of Hatha, Meditation, Yoga Theory, Ayurveda and Restorative yoga and teaches group yoga and speciality classes and series. She is teacher trainer and continuing education teacher.

"Yoga is Accessible to All"

My Origins in Yoga
At one time, I was unable to move from my bed for months. I was recovering from a car accident, and a virus from my youth that left my nervous and immune system in a weakened, overactive, and in unregulated state. I was burned out from a management job, and personal stress. The doctors diagnosed me with a serious autoimmune disease. Who am I now, I wondered? I was no longer the athlete or the dedicated employee I once had been. I was no longer the dependable friend or family member. I was injured and sick.
Instinctively, I knew balance was the key to my recovery. My first step was write it down. I had experience with mind practices from my days as an athlete and then I developed a practical framework to guide and support me to bring about healing, connection, and balance.
This is my yoga. Join me.
