Justine is a Yoga Facilitator in the Ottawa area specializing in Pelvic Floor & Perinatal Yoga. She hosts regular community classes, and Pelvic Floor workshops. Educating people of all genders, in all seasons of life’s journey. She is also trained in Meditation, Mudras and Chair Yoga, which she combines in her therapeutic delivery of yoga.
Yoga has been a part of her family and personal health and wellness practice for several decades. Assisting her in many injury recoveries. As well as trying to maintain balance in this sometimes chaotic world. Her yoga practice during, and following pregnancy, motivated her decision to teach. She is the founder of the “Prenatal & Baby and Me Yoga” community classes at CCHC. Teaching in collaboration with the Early Years programming and City of Ottawa. The passion project that fuelled much of her training trajectory. Her intentions as a yoga teacher, has always been to focus on yoga’s larger reach as a tool to help strengthen community, create inclusive spaces, and support families through these shared efforts.
Her approach to yoga is easy going and grounded. Building classes with the people in the room, rather than teaching choreography to students. Making great use of props. Modifications. Often scaling up poses in her classes to create options and opportunities for progression. Maintaining the philosophy that everyone is learning together; none being front and centre.
