Being somewhat new to the Windsor and surrounding area, Charmaine reached out to various yoga teachers as a way to get to know others in the local yoga community. I was fortunate enough to be one of those she contacted. Her playful personality, big genuine smile and in many ways her similar approach to yoga as myself, were all things that led me to believe she would be a good fit as a teacher for the Yoga with Lora community. As a dancer of 15 years Charmaine began practicing yoga in 2010 looking to get back into shape after college. Around that same time she was battling anxiety and depression. Yoga, for her, became so much more than just a physical workout. Through her yoga practice she started to notice a huge shift in her mental health too. Like so many of us, life then 'got in the way'. Her yoga practice was put to the side as did the benefits it offered her mind, body and spirit wellbeing. Through a number of life's experiences she found herself dealing with her pattern of anxiety and depression once again. In 2016 she decided enough was enough and dove right back into her yoga practice by starting her 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher course. She truly feels it was the best decision she's ever made! ​Charmaine is so excited to share yoga, and her love of yoga, with the Yoga with Lora community! And we are so excited to have her with as a part of the Yoga with Lora teaching team!

I met Neda many years ago at the yoga studio where, during different years, we each completed our Yoga Teacher Training. We stayed connected through the local yoga and wellbeing community and when I ran a wellbeing retreat in Sedona she joined us as a participant. The time at the retreat allowed me an opportunity to get to know Neda even more and I remember thinking even then what a great fit she would be as a part of the Yoga with Lora Team. Fast forward many years and here we are! Neda has been practicing and teaching yoga for almost a decade and specializes in Vinyasa, Yin, Chakra and has recently completed her Kundalini Yoga Certification allowing her to deepen her knowledge and practice of the holistic benefits of energy flow, breath work and mantra. She has taught Yoga and Mindfulness in Windsor Essex elementary schools, to Bachelor of Education students at the University of Windsor and at various local studios and gyms. Neda teaches yoga because she believes in its power to transform and heal the body, mind and spirit. She is excited for her journey as a Yoga with Lora teacher and the opportunity to continue sharing the wonderful benefits of the practice with others.
