Kids Yoga
"When you just breathe and smile and relax, it will make you feel better.” ~ S, Firefly Yogi age 3
“One of the things M would often use after class was her “lion breathing”. There was one time we were driving in the car and her little sister was getting frustrated about something. M calming explained to her sister that all she needed to do was take deep breaths and let them out like a lion. They did their lion breathing together, then giggled and moved on.” ~ Patricia, Firefly Yogi Parent
“Our daughter absolutely loved yoga with Miss Jamie. Watching her understand her own emotions better and talk about them and how she feels is one thing we really took away from the program. She loves to show us new poses that she’s learned! Would recommend this program to anyone with young kids - Jamie is so wonderful at what she does and really has created a safe & nurturing environment for these kiddos. We can’t wait for our next round of Firefly Yogi’s for our younger daughter.” ~ Caity, Firefly Yogi Parent
“K went from being a nervous and shy little guy to feeling comfortable and confident last year. He frequently asks to go see Miss Jamie which melts my heart coming from someone who is usually so attached to mom. I can’t wait to watch him grow with Little Lights Yoga again this year!” ~ Brianna, Firefly Yogi Parent
“ I love the crafts and meeting new friends. When I do the warrior pose I like to pretend I’m a ninja. The breathing helps me in the boot room at Kindergarten with all the people and craziness in there and at home when mom is being difficult.”
~ C, Former Firefly Yogi age 4
“I liked the art and animal poses from the book. I learned rollercoaster breathing and feelings boxes!” ~ B, Former Firefly Yogi age 4
"My favorite things about yoga is Ms. Yoga Teacher, crafts & I like to use things I learned in yoga to deal with my big feelings”. ~ C, Former Firefly Yogi age 4
"Jamie's yoga session that she did with our parented preschool class was amazing. She always had a story to tell throughout the class that kept the kids focus and interested. Her themes kept with the season and the kids really seemed to enjoy that. The way she structured her classes made the kids feel like they were on a fun and exciting journey every time. Definitely my favorite part of the day" ~ Crystal, Dryland Leader(Preschool) at GH Dawe Community Centre
"Jamie did an AMAZING job teaching yoga to our 3-6 year olds and parents, she is great at getting everyone involved while having fun doing it! The parents gave rave reviews about Jamie's yoga class, and the children's smiles said it all!!" ~ Playschool Leader (Karen)
"I am been so happy that my 9 year old son is doing so well coming to Jamie. He has been in yoga for almost 2 years now. He has Tourette's Syndrome and yoga has greatly helped him with anxiety and learning to cope and handle his stress in many situations. The first time I got to see him be able to go to his happy place, that he learned to do from yoga, I was shocked. In a stressful situation, I was amazed at how easy it was for him to change the situation from a negative situation to a good one! It has become a very important part of his life and he'll continue to get the benefits from it!" ~ Raeleen

Adult Yoga
"I came to Yoga class with great fear and big doubts if I could do it. I was only going to come for one class and see how I like it. I feel differently now. I enjoy the pace and engaging instructions. You walk us through each pose, tell us how to adjust our feet, our shoulders, where our hands should be, what we should be striving for. I feel so renewed after each class. My experience with yoga has brought me back to the centre of my own life, and I step out of the serene studio and back into the world with new sense of its beauty!!!
This journey is just amazing, and the journey is just starting, thank you so very much! I have found a place where I am in my element. I am learning to relax more and breathe the proper way and my posture has improved a lot.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience. My life has been enriched and are limited words to express my gratitude. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who wishes to nourish the mind, body and soul through Yoga." ~ Premila
"I have been going to Jamie for 1 1/2 years and not only have I gotten rid of the agonizing pain in my left rotator cuff and gained back full use of that arm, but I feel like I am wearing a girdle 24/7! Also, I can see muscle tone in my biceps and pecs and my flexibility has improved ten-fold in my hip-flexors. It has given me a sense of peace and contentment in this helter-skelter environment we now live in and after each session I feel so empowered and in control, I feel like I can accomplish anything I feel that I want to. It helps me to keep focused and more grounded and want to be a better person, in general. Experience it...you won't regret it." ~ Cathy
Workplace Yoga
"Lunchtime workplace yoga is wonderful! A much needed break in the middle of the day to relax, reconnect and refresh, I return to work with a positive attitude and feeling great, I highly recommend workplace yoga!" ~ Danielle
"I thoroughly enjoyed Jamie’s 45 min lunch time yoga. It was a great mix of strength and relaxation and each session was a little different with new poses each class and to the preference of the group. Jamie is an amazing instructor and she will be sure to impress you with her yoga skills and her aromatherapy products."~ Angela
