Mandy Sheen’s love for yoga started eight years ago when she first began to practice asana. The positive life changing results that her personal yoga practice brought her inspired her to share the gift of yoga. Mandy finished her teacher training in October 2005 for hatha and prenatal yoga.  She now teaches a wide variety of classes including hatha, power, flow, mama and me, prenatal and family yoga on a full time basis. Educating the birthing community being one of her goals, she also gives prenatal birthing workshops regularly.

Mandy grew up in a house of love truth and freedom and brings this to each of her classes, teaching through love and acceptance, encouraging her students to return to the natural state of love and truth.

Dawn began her yoga practice in 1999. Her first introduction to yoga was Ashtanga Yoga taught by Mike Dennison and Fiona Stang of City Yoga. These Ashtanga Yoga classes were taught according to the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. Dawn immediately fell in love with the style, structure and philosophy of the traditional Ashtanga system. After many years of practicing Ashtanga with a variety of teachers, Dawn was inspired to teach the traditional system of Ashtanga to others. Therefore, Dawn returned to her original teacher, Fiona Stang (one of only eight people in Canada authorized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois) and husband Julian Deck to study.

Dawn has a strong personal practice and is very passionate about the Ashtanga Yoga system. Dawn teaches her classes as they are being taught in India today. Opening and closing mantras are chanted at every Ashtanga class as well as some Sanskrit counting. She also teaches Hatha and Vinyasa yoga classes and encourages her students to experience the spiritual nature of yoga.

Dawn has a great interest in spirituality, both Western and Eastern, and being a very spiritual person, she finds that yoga is extremely effective in achieving the body, mind, soul and spirit connection. She truly believes that Yoga is more than just the poses, it is a sacred practice for the whole being.

When not practicing yoga, Dawn divides her time between bellydancing, spiritual/psychological/philosophical musings, discussions and practices, reading and of course friends and family.

Dawn is also a Bach Flower Practitioner and Healing Guide, and is experienced in running and facilitating meditation circles and spiritual circles (specializing in women’s spirituality). Check out her business Divine Intervention at www.divineintervention.ca.

In 1985 Jaromey picked up one of the rarest Yoga books in the world. She attempted some of the poses in it and was amazed and intimidated by how challenging Yoga actually can be. Although she didn’t keep up her practice from this original starting point the seeds of inspiration were planted.

Although her first class taken was of the ‘Hot Yoga’ variety, Jaromey decided to take her teaching practice in the Ashtanga (sometimes called ‘Power’) Yoga tradition. Over the years she has trained and practiced with some of the world’s top Yoga teachers: David Swenson, Beryl Bender Birch, Bikram Choudhury and Rodney Yee to name a few.

To date Jaromey practices regularly with Vancouver based teachers Eoin Finn, Jesse Enright and in Abbotsford with Tony Brinks.

Jaromey has owned and operated her own Yoga studio and over the years, on average, taught 14 classes per week.

Jaromey’s style of teaching is very positive and goal oriented per individual. She is capable of instructing the beginner and the advanced within the same class setting. Her classes include the vinyasa counting method using the Sanskrit language along with English translations.

Jaromey is much loved by her students as she shows them love and respect for the individual that they are….and for the person they’ll become on their journey with Yoga.
