Yoga is a personal journey with styles that can suite and benefits literally anybody and everybody. I teach gentle Hatha yoga classes that are inclusive of all ages, levels and body types. My focus is on mindful and functional movement with sequencing that keeps the class interesting and challenging. I make sure that every client has a safe practice, guiding with compassion, respect and humor, because we're all human after all. I have been teaching yoga for one and a half years and love this part of my life. I was first introduced to Yoga over 40 years ago when I was in college in Quebec City and practiced off and on through the years ahead. It was a fantastic complement to the ski racing and karate competitions that I was involved with at the time. When I was presented with the opportunity to take my course to become a yoga instructor, it was a decision that was so easy to take because of how Yoga enhances not only your physical health but also reduces stress, calms the mind and creates balance in your life. I took my RYT 200 hour course with the Internal Peace Initiative lead by Alina Calinescu and Richard Wilkinson. My Certificates:
- RYT-200
- Restorative Yoga
- Yin Yoga
- Thai Yoga Bliss
- Thai Massage
- Meditation-Nidra and mindful meditation
- Yoga for Arthritis
I am also an active member of the Boler Mountain community as level 2 ski instructor. I’ve been teaching for 12 years. Skiing was my first passion; I never get enough of it. Boler has been part of my family life for over 25 years having brought up my children on this hill with skiing and snowboarding.
I look forward to being part of the Yoga program at Boler, such an exciting new addition!

I was first introduced to yoga almost five years ago by a friend. I tried it with a goal of stress reduction and found so much more! The more I learn about yoga, the more I learn that I have so much more to learn! A lifetime of study couldn’t grasp it all! The Pitta aspect of my personality finds that incredibly frustrating! Sufficed to say I have developed a deep love and passion for this practice and what it can bring to our life. I love to share what I have learned with others.
The practice I aim to develop is one that offers a diverse all levels class, with emphasis on safety and fun. I want to give participants an opportunity to experience some mindfulness and meditation, while developing increased flexibility and strength and hopefully allow for learning a little something along the way. All this while enjoying the beauty of nature in a lovely setting at the top of Boler Mountain!
I graduated from my 200 hour training in the fall of 2020 through the Internal Peace Initiative led by Alina Calinescu and Richard Wilkinson and I have continued with additional training to further my own knowledge and practice. My certificates include:
- RYT-200
- Yoga Nidra Meditation
- Yin Yoga
- Pelvic Floor Yoga, Back Care Yoga, Yoga for Healthy Aging
- Trauma Informed Yoga
- Ayurveda and Yoga of the Subtle Body
Our family is often found on the hills of Boler during the winter season. I am fortunate and grateful to be part of this community. I look forward to seeing you on your mat, on the mountain!
Namaste, Talea
Nicole (Tuesdays)
I discovered a yoga practice in my college years, it became my go-to break from studying in the Med. Radiation Technology Program at Fanshawe College. Heading to a Goodlife hot or not studio 3-5 times a week for fun, a good sweat, and a way to de-stress. A clinical placement and relocation to Owen Sound shifted my exercise routine, weight-lifting and running became the new go-to form for de-stressing and joy. Post graduation: new life commitments, new career, and an opportunity as a group fitness coach & Crossfit L1 trainer, I went a few years without a regular yoga practice. After a period of experiencing repetitive use injuries, mental & emotional health challenges, body pain, over-exercising, over-working, etc., I found myself back in a studio on a yoga mat. I thought I was just seeking a gentler form of exercise, but what I actually discovered was a shift in relationship to my body and mind. I always knew yoga was "good for you" - but this time round the sun I was experiencing it on a much deeper level, and seeking a beautiful awakening & healing energy.
At this point in my life, I was also discovering that I was highly drawn to lifelong learning and self-inquiry. In 2017 I was presented with the opportunity to enrol in a 200hr YTT, with my go-to yoga teacher from the Goodlife community. Now known as Alina from the Internal Peace Initiative, I began my journey with no expectations to teach; just curiosity about the human body, physical exercise, and why was yoga making me feel better. Naturally, I started teaching classes weekly at my current gym (Rev3k), and sharing the beauty of Gentle Hatha, Hatha Flow, Yin yoga, and Mobility & Functional Movement. As I continue to evolve, my keen curiosity of the mind-body connection, meditation, and holistic healing has led me to continue learning more. It brings me great joy to share these teachings, and I will be completing a 300hr Advanced Certification by 2024.
I currently teach with the intention of delivering mindful movement, practice of presence, self-love affirmation, anatomy-informed sequencing, trauma-informed language, and curiosity. You will hear the wisdom of the Yama's in classes, almost always speaking to Ahimsa (non-judgement & loving kindness). Class feedback is often described as flowy, strengthening, exploratory, and dreamy. You will be encouraged to find intuitive movement and guided to let go of doing. I believe we all deserve to know how to experience Being in the body, befriending the Mind, and develop an understanding of how miraculous the human body is.
It is a great honour and gift to share what movement does for the body, stillness can do for the mind.
