June holds 200 hr yoga teaching certification from Ashtanga Yoga Victoria and Solstice Yoga in Mexico and completed her 500 hr yoga teaching training and yoga therapist certification at Ajna Yoga in Oak Bay. June has been teaching group classes and doing private sessions since Sept, 2020. She has practiced yoga (Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram, vinyasa and yin) for much of her life. While being blessed with excellent health herself, she has always been fascinated with the human body and how it works. She used to puzzle over questions such as why older people lost their mobility, why soccer players tended to have so many recurring knee injuries and why lower back pain was so common. She travelled to attend anatomy and yoga seminars with world renowned teachers. She learned a lot about the human body but still didn't have answers to her questions. After doing her first yoga teacher training, she taught yoga only briefly as she soon realized she had no interest in teaching yoga flow or more traditional yoga classes. She had basically given up on the idea of teaching when she decided to go to Solstice Yoga in Mexico to learn about the Back Mitra prop from one of its co-creators. The only training that fit her schedule was a teacher training. She was entranced by the Back Mitra and its ability to heal and strengthen the spine. Upon her return home, she was drawn to the nearby Yoga Therapy program at Ajna where she was introduced to even more methods to improve posture and mobility in the body. She felt more at home with the focus of yoga therapy classes on including an educational component to classes, more dialogue between teachers and students, and helping students "start a conversation with their bodies" |
