I’m the proud owner of Align Holistic Studio and I’m passionate about helping people move well, build strength, and feel their best—at every stage of life.

My classes focus on proper form, functional strength, mobility, balance, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable, whether you’re just starting your wellness journey or looking to challenge yourself. My goal is to empower you to move with confidence, celebrate your progress, and discover just how strong you’re capable of becoming. I can’t wait to welcome you to class! My philosophy towards fitness is simple; “Physical activity is not a punishment; it is a celebration of what our body’s can do.”

Nathalie (Nathie) has been practicing yoga and mindfulness for over 14 years. She really wanted to expand her awareness and savour the health benefits of yoga, meditation and sound healing. As a classically trained vocalist, her voice is her instrument for healing and wellbeing. Yoga practice and teaching has taught her a way to connect more deeply with herself and others and allowed her the space to grow during challenging times in her life. She discovered the beauty and fun in the simple things, being present in the here and now.

Annie spent over 20 years in the nursing field, with experience in urgent, home, geriatric and palliative care. Within geriatric and palliative care she was fascinated with the dementia units where she spent many years. There she was able to observe how calm loving energy affected her patients' demeanour. This observation was the determinant that propelled her towards a more holistic approach to health care and well-being. She began educating herself on wellness, natural remedies, energy, meditation and this is when she discovered the all-encompassing benefits of yoga. Within this educational journey, she spent 1 month at Triguna Yoga, an ashram in Rishikesh, India, where she obtained her YTT. This was followed by another month deepening her practice, utilizing the three facets of yoga, asanas, pranayamas, and meditations in Thailand. She has always been a empathetic caregiver/healer at heart and now experienced yogi with natural tendencies to empower you in coming into your own power.
