✨Teacher Feature: Debra Wells-Hopey (she/her)

✨On Debra’s teaching journey: It wasn’t until I joined The Practice that I integrated movement fully into my life. A few years after becoming a “regular,” I was inspired to do the Movement Teacher Training. Not only does this fulfill my own physical needs (as a gal in her mid 50s, motion truly IS lotion!) it enhances my work life as well. As the programs manager for Eating Disorders Nova Scotia, many folks I work with have found yoga to be helpful in their recovery journey. I feel so honoured to practice with both my studio and my eating disorder recovery communities.

✨One thing they couldn’t live without: Thrifting! I have a passion for vintage and preloved clothing. The thrill of the hunt is real! A close second is my Spotify account. My playlists are obsessively curated! If you like both Dolly Parton and Eminem, you’ll get it.

✨Her favourite class to teach: It’s a toss up! The Practice is cathartic and allows us to get comfortable with discomfort. But I also love The Presence, where we take our time exploring poses and release some sticky spots. The Vitality offers strength and functionality...I really love them all, it’s really the people in the room that make each class a banger!

A recent graduate of our MTT program and long-time beloved member, show Deb some love in the comments. 🤍

You don’t need more motivation. You need support you can return to.

A membership at The Practice is a steady place to land – movement when you need it, stillness when you don’t, and people who know your name.

Classes. Workshops. Member-only experiences. A space that meets you where you are.

🌀open to yoga, pilates, barre & movement teachers

Episode 4 of The Practice Connects is here. 💭

You’ve likely heard the buzzwords before – but why is it important? Laura breaks down what nervous system regulation truly means, how we can cut the spiralling narrative of “what could be”, and why it’s beneficial to find fluidity in reaction.

Thank you to all who responded to our open question story with suggestions on what they’d like to deep dive into – we’re always open to ideas. Have one? Send it our way. 💬
