    Caitlin started her yoga journey in her late teens. As a nature lover and someone who marches to the beat of her own drum, she found yoga organically within her community. She has experienced yoga retreats and workshops throughout Canada, Costa Rica and Thailand, then travelled to India to complete her 200HR YTT in early 2020. She called India home for 3 years, learning, studying and playing with teachers and students alike, covering yogic philosophy, breathwork and alignment.

    Her teaching style is thoughtful, inviting and accessible. She believes creating a safe and accepting space is key to integrating the benefits of yoga into each person's life.

    Vicki Jeha is a Registered Counselling Therapist and Certified Breathwork Instructor based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia. With a Master of Education from Acadia University (2022), she has offered private counselling therapy since the same year.

    Vicki brings both the science of the mind and the wisdom of the breath to her breathwork instruction, offering a space to slow down, soften, and return to yourself. Her practice is rooted in Pranayama Sadhana, a style of yogic breathing she studied with her teacher, Engel Pherceydes, of Qualicum Beach, BC.

    In her 60 minute classes, breathwork is a gentle path toward calm, restoration, and nervous system relaxation, that also teaches you skills you can bring home with you.
