Here we grow again! With the reopening of our studio and increased class sizes we are excited to introduce the newest member to our instructor team, Tina Sanders.
Tina in her own words:
I have been exploring my own personal yoga practise for over ten years, practising at several gyms and studios throughout the Greater Toronto Area. In the last year and a half I began to explore online yoga classes from teachers around the globe and became a certified yoga teacher through Awakening Yoga Academy. I love learning from others and exploring my own practise throughout various types of movement. I believe that yoga can be beneficial in many ways, and I want to be able to help others feel confident and strong while growing in their personal practise. I love to teach purposeful and challenging creative classes that incorporate breathwork and classical yoga asana to increase flexibility, strength, and mental focus. I have experienced the many benefits of yoga in my own life and want to motivate others to find the same passion in their yoga practise and overall wellness.
Kardia owner Heather sat down with Tina and we’re excited to share a little more about who this new family member is.
Heather: Tina, it’s so great to have you as part of our team. We’ve only known each other for a few months now, so I’m excited to learn more about you as I know our community is. So, what’s your favourite way to sweat?
Tina: I love cardio! Hitting the gym, listening to a good playlist and spending as much time as possible on the bike or elliptical, I love the endorphins you get from a good sweat. I also love hot yoga and HIIT workouts.
Heather: Cardio is always my go to as well, I don’t think that’s a surprise. What are some goals you’re currently working on?
Tina: I would love to run a half marathon next year, that is the running goal I am working towards. I would also love to participate in an event like the Ride to Conquer Cancer. In terms of my personal & professional goals I can proudly say that I am achieving so many goals in my yoga practise that I set for myself at the beginning of the year, and I am always up for a challenge! I would also love to teach at a yoga retreat one day. I have many hobbies and work full time in the legal field, so I like to keep myself busy; yoga is essential for me to stay centered!
Heather: Running goals? Now you’re talking my language, this community will get you to the start line for sure! Last Question, What can people expect in your class?
Tina: A yoga flow class that will incorporate the breath. I like to feature themed classes and sometimes we will work towards a goal pose. Get ready for curated playlists and creative sequences to encourage exploration through movement.
Join Tina Sunday mornings for Sunrise Yoga Flow and Intention Setting in studio and online at 9:30am starting November 7th.
