My Yoga journey began from a young age, growing up around yoga philosophy and the teachings of Mata Amritanandamayi. However, I didn't take an interest until I discovered Ashtanga Yoga at age 18 through my teacher Matias Flury. I have been learning and evolving in my practice for over 10 years since, furthering my knowledge in teaching with BNS Iyengar and Ramesh Shetty in Mysore and Natalia Correa in Squamish. Yoga has proven to be a reliable pillar of support for me through all phases of life and it is always an honour sharing its knowledge with students.

I started my yoga journey at 15, practicing Iyengar with my best friend's mother, who planted a seed that continues to grow. Years later, a coincidental entry into an Ashtanga class, where I was fascinated by hands-on adjustments, deepened my practice. Eventually, I moved to Squamish, BC, began an apprenticeship at ASY, and now teach there passionately, using my intuition to adjust and work with students' varying abilities. I am a mother to a beautiful boy who inspires me daily, and I spend much of my time with him in the forest, river, and garden, nurturing my love for nature, sports, and family.

Hi, I’m Olessia! I’m really excited to meet you and support you with your practice. Yoga has given me so much over the years, and I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned and helping you find your own path on this journey.
I’ve practiced yoga for nearly two decades, exploring different traditions and styles, but in 2020, I discovered Ashtanga and have been with it ever since. Like life, my practice has had its ups and downs, but I continue showing up because it helps me feel grounded. Yoga shows me where I get in my own way and helps me move through life a little lighter and with a little more ease and grace.
I’ve also sat in several meditation courses, and I bring that awareness into my teaching. As a practicing psychotherapist, I’m fascinated by the mind-body connection and spirituality. It is my intention to meet you in the space where the heavens meet the earth, where the body, mind, and spirit meet.
Grace Davies
Yoga has been my pathway home to my body after years of competitive sports that taught me to overlook the messages my body was sending. I’ve trained and apprenticed with many teachers, from Rameen Peyrow (Sattva Yoga) to Katyanna Ryan (Ma Yoga - Tantric Hatha), and have explored the practice of Yoga Nada (the yoga of sound). Vipassana Meditation and deep silence are as integral to my studies as music and the exploration of the mind, supported by my Masters in Counselling Psychology.
I’ve been formally teaching Asana since 2017 and I’m excited to welcome you to our community class, where we can play with breath, movement, and awareness together.
Grace is holding space at our Community Yoga Classes monthy on the fourth Sunday.
Bruna Finkler
Bruna began her yoga journey after turning 30, seeking ways to reconnect with her body while managing the pain of endometriosis. Since then, her daily practice has helped her rediscover herself through the yoga lifestyle. Her focus has been on leading restorative and slow flow vinyasa classes. Bruna is passionate about helping women in pain reconnect with themselves and is excited to share her slow flow vinyasa practice with our community. We look forward to seeing you on Sundays!
She will be holding space at our Community Yoga Classes on the third Sunday of each month.
