Our Yoga Teachers in Edmonton

Jay McMahon
E- RYT 550 (Jay)

  • During the hundreds of hours I spent on my mat I found contentment, curiosity and courage. I also discovered a desire to learn as much as I could about the yoga lifestyle. At the time I didn’t realize how yoga would help my anxiety and depression and help me discover my Atma. The Atma is the inner self or soul. I don’t just practice yoga asanas, I feel the yoga in my body, my soul and my mind. Yoga is a moving meditation and with the movement comes breath, life is breath and with the breath comes a calm mind. And while you’re doing all this, you strengthen your body in an incredibly efficient way.

RYT 200 (Dawn)

  • I began practising yoga ten years ago, gaining strength and mobility. For these ten years, yoga has supported all of my other activities, including gardening, hiking, skiing, and weight lifting. I have practised many styles of yoga and have learned something from each of them. Now, I'd like to share my knowledge and passion for yoga. By teaching others yoga, I hope they can develop a practice to build their life activities upon. My intention is to help people feel welcome, energized and free to be themselves in my classes. Join me on your mat and experience the joy of yoga.

Terje Snow (T.J)
RYT 200 (He/They)

  • I became a personal trainer and yoga teacherT to try and help fill a gap that many of us have experienced – finding teachers and environments where students feel genuinely safe and listened to. I've taken specialized training in fitness accessibility, trauma-informed coaching, mindfulness, Yoga Nidra and other facets of health and wellbeing, to help me better meet that need. I love helping people reconnect to their body and find joy in both movement and stillness.

Hilary Janes
RYT 200 (She/Her)

  • I have always had a passion for holistic well-being and a deep commitment to helping others. I first found my love for movement in the form of dance when I was quite young, and then discovered yoga in my mid-teen years! In 2024, I decided to bring this love of movement and well-being to others by receiving my 200hr yoga teacher training as well as my Yin teacher training.

    My teaching philosophy revolves around the belief that yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, experience, or physical ability. Whether you’re looking to improve mobility, reduce stress, or deepen your practice, I aim to create a safe, welcoming space for you to explore and grow

Karina Ryan-Kane
RYT 200 (She/Her)

  • Yoga has been a part of my life for over 10 years. A consistent practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible, lighthearted and courageous both on and off the mat. I love that yoga can move us beyond our mat and inspires me to be more mindful. This lead me to complete my 200 hour training in June 2022. My hope is that after a class with me you feel stronger, balanced and revitalized.

Tori Taphorn
200 RYT (She/Her)

  • My yoga practice has been developing over the last 7 years, starting with YouTube and then transitioning to different studios around Edmonton. Eventually, yoga began to grow off of my mat and permeate different parts of my life.

    It is my intention to help you feel connected with your body through your physical practice. Creating this connection on your mat, will hopefully allow you to bring yoga off of your mat as well.

    My experience as a school teacher has ignited my passion for teaching, and that has translated into my love for yoga. I hope to inspire and share this practice with you.
