“I remember my first yoga class was with my dad and my sister. I think I was about 13 years old. I’d always been into sports growing up, and I was doing gymnastics then, so yoga felt really good and gave me another approach to movement and being in touch with my body. At first, my practice was on and off, mostly in classes at gyms. During the pandemic, I did a lot of yoga through YouTube videos. Later, I was working at a smoothie bar, and Kelly, who was a regular, mentioned her yoga studio one day. I tried a class here, and ever since, I’ve been hooked.
I started practicing a lot on my own, and yoga became part of my journey, especially in university during stressful times. It helped me cope and self-regulate. Eventually, I’d love to do a teacher training, but I don’t feel ready yet. I studied environmental science, focusing on chemistry. I find lab work very meditative — any small error shows up immediately, so you have to be fully present. Eventually, I’d like to work in environmental remediation or ocean science. Hopefully, I’ll also teach yoga on the side.
My favourite thing about the studio is the community, 100%. Even though I like online classes, they don’t compare to coming to the studio and seeing friends. I’ve always been someone who connects easily with people from different backgrounds, and Morpho really shows that age or background doesn’t matter — it’s what brings us together. I’ve met so many beautiful people here, from teachers to students to space keepers… and I learn something from everyone.”
