Halifax Ashtanga Yoga Shala

Nicole Slaunwhite - Office staff

Nicole grew up in Halifax before moving to St. John’s, Newfoundland to pursue an undergraduate degree in English at Memorial University. She was introduced to yoga while in St. John’s, but had not found the right style for her and developed no more than a passing interest in it. Upon her return to Halifax to study law at Dalhousie, she was impressed by the variety of styles and studios available. She returned to yoga, trying different classes around the city. She was introduced to Ashtanga after attending a class held by Guylaine Williams at lululemon and loved the challenge it provided and how energized she felt afterward. Consistently hindered in other physical activity by a past knee injury, Nicole is amazed at how quickly her strength and flexibility have improved with her practice. She is immensely grateful for the positive impact Ashtanga has had on her physical health and fitness, as well as the focus and balance it brings her in everyday life. She has discovered that yoga truly does have something for everyone.
