Guylaine Williams - Studio Director/Senior Teacher
— Guylaine was 16 when she was first introduced to the world of yoga through a group leader of weekly Alateen meetings in Newcastle, NB. After living throughout Europe and China, Guylaine moved to Toronto and began taking Ashtanga classes at The Yoga Sanctuary. She was hooked immediately, and after a year of practice, Guylaine decided to take their 250-hour yoga teacher training. The instructors were Cynthia Funk, Hart Lazer and Jonathan Austman. Shortly after finishing this YTT, she returned to Halifax and was blessed with the opportunity to teach at Therapeutic Yoga Studio for nearly 7 years. Guylaine has trained with talented teachers like Michael Stone, Janine Woo, John Carson, Hart Lazer, Richard Freeman, Tim Miller, Erich Shiffmann, Matthew Sweeney, Angie Birt, Seth Daley, Chuck Miller, Maty Ezraty, Diane Bruni, and Ron Reid. In the summer of 2008, Guylaine travelled to Encinitas, CA to study with Tim Miller, taking his Second Series YTT, and then returned to Canada to open and run her own studio—Flying Monkey Yoga Studio—in Oakville, ON. Eventually returning to Halifax to be with her family, Guylaine continues to work on being a better student, teacher and yogini while learning to love all that arises. She has taught years of Hatha Vinyasa, prenatal, postnatal and kids’ yoga, participated in TAYS’s 500-hour YTT and acted as faculty for their 200-hour YTT and prenatal YTT.
