For all of us, Happy 2026
For friends joining us on Fiday evening... and for those who are not able, food for thought, for taking a moment for you... rest into this.
All the best for 2026 - thank you Sarah Whittle for bringing the words together ❤️ just right... see you Friday evening.
All the best with gratitude 🙏 and blessings 🙌 xoxo
Moving Forward into 2026
As we close the year, take a moment to turn inward. Write down three intentions (sankalpas) you wish to carry forward into 2026—qualities you want to embody rather than goals to achieve. Then write one lesson 2025 offered you, a wisdom you are ready to bring with you into the new year. These reflections are for your eyes only. Let them be honest, gentle, and guided by the heart.
Let these words rest quietly, held with care and intention.

We only get two, we want to take care of them... give them love.

Welcome to the Ohana Yoga & Wellness Centre / Training Academy.
Movement is Medicine!
We have been a yoga & wellness studio for over 19 years as well as a (Canadian Yoga Alliance) CYA-RYS GOLD teacher training school. For 200 RYT CYA teaching certifications as well as continued education in yoga & wellness modalities.
Our primary instructor/owner/founder is Nicky Poulin, CYA-E-RYT GOLD instructor, CCF Life Coach, with over 30,000 hours of teaching and over 20 years of dedication to her mat and to her students/clients. Nicky holds yoga & wellness based certifications from all over the world, including India, United States, & Canada. Nicky’s yoga journey started over 21 yrs ago when diagnosed with chronic pain, fybromyalgia, IBS, schleroderma, just to name a few of her diagnosis's. Basically her body,spirit and mind had begun to shut down, and for her - yoga & other wellness modalities became the biggest attribute towards becoming well again.
During her journey of recovery from illnesses, her love for yoga and the benefits it brought to her grew. Nicky felt the need to share these tools that she has learned. The journey was not easy, but through determination and a drive to help others the idea of having a yoga & wellness studio was born. 17 years later and with over 30,000 teaching hours as an instructor it is now time for Nicky to teach/train teachers.
At Ohana, our goal is to educate and empower individuals, families and communities so that they may experience improved health, awareness and life fulfillment. EveryBODY counts, there is something for everyone and no will be left behind.
We are all in-charge of our own health and well-being, at Ohana we offer a variety of classes and services to assist you in becoming a healthier more balanced you!
