About

JASMINE: It all started when…

I discovered yoga in my twenties on my bedroom floor while watching the Oprah show, only to discover I couldn’t find a class in my home town of Bala or the village I was living in of Port Carling.

So after learning Thai Yoga Massage in 2005 my wheels were in motion and I jumped into a 500RYT program and Active Turtle was born in 2006.

I am told I am known for my life-affirming practice and ability to inspire ages 0-109 from Bala, to Port Carling & Rosseau To Georgian Bay. I have been teaching and supporting yogis and yoginis since 2006 from my home base of Muskoka full-time. I am the founder of a yoga boutique and studio in Bala - Namast’ay in Muskoka which I sold in 2020. I continue to teach in Muskoka publicly, privately and for corporate companies and resorts.

Why?

Because, Yoga saved my life and I continue to benefit from the practice and see the changes physically, mentally and spiritually in those that have the courage to show up for themselves and practice. I have had the honour of teaching in schools, education centres, resorts in the Caribbean, studios on beaches, and more importantly my community of the heart - Muskoka.

EMILY:
