Hello! My name is Jamie aka Yogi Poppins. I'm passionate about sharing the many benefits of yoga to the "little lights" and the "little lights" at heart. I'm a full time mama bear to my beautiful daughter and handsome little man, animal enthusiast, and lover of all things nature.

So Why Yoga?

I stepped into my first yoga class in 2003 and never turned back. Yoga has kept me centered and has made me appreciate the simple things in life. After benefiting in so many ways from yoga, not only physically but mentally and spiritually, it became my dream to share this wonderful practice with others.

After taking my 200 hour teacher training at From Within Wellness Centre, Edmonton, AB with Priya Dasyam, my dream came true on December 16, 2009 when I received my certification with the Yoga Alliance. I am a registered yoga teacher in traditional Hatha yoga.

I love to teach all different styles of yoga but true to my heart is Yin yoga and kids yoga. In today's lifestyles we are non-stop go go go.  Yin Yoga helps you truly be in the present moment and enjoy the stillness of the body, mind and breath. Step out of a Yang world and come to the Yin side!  

Kids also have busy lifestyles. Little time to "just be". I enjoy teaching kids and providing tools so that kids can find ways to stay calm, stay healthy, love and respect their bodies, find peace within themselves and of course have lots of fun doing it.

I welcome all students and hope to (Y)inspire each one of you!

Namaste.

My Teaching Style

My teaching style is aimed at healing and finding that inner peace and love for ones self. Although there are many physical benefits to yoga, my goal is for my students to find self love, contentment, practice healthy yoga and allow their ego to step out of class.  Enjoy every moment, with every breath.

My Objective

To provide tools to students through the practice of yoga so that they can heal and love themselves and let their inner light shine bright.
