Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, I've always felt most at home near the ocean. The rhythm of the waves, the salty air, and the grounding presence of nature continue to inspire the way I move, teach, and live.
Over the past nine years, my yoga journey evolved from a personal search to quiet the noise of everyday life into a deep path of healing. It has reminded me that strength and softness can exist together, and that healing often begins in the moments when we allow ourselves to simply be. When I'm not teaching, you'll likely find me walking by the ocean, exploring local trails, or cuddling up with a furry friend.

Kind Words
"Annette came to my women's retreat this past weekend and brought INCREDIBLE energy. Her classes are truly the best and she brought such a light to the weekend. The girls were talking about how much they loved the class all weekend. I love the way she builds heat in her classes and they are always structured so well. It was truly amazing to have her there and can't wait for the next one!"
"I would describe Annette's classes as: creative, intentional, accommodating, nourishing and fluid. And if I can add another word — FUN!"

Reflections
July 2026
This month, my mat looked a little different. Instead of flowing through sun salutations and my daily routine, I found myself slowing down in a different way. I spent a week in Miami with my niece and my nephew (great-nephew), who is 17 months old, as we visited family…
There wasn't a schedule to follow or a class to teach. There were morning cuddles, tiny hands reaching for mine, sandy feet after beach adventures, boat rides, evening swims, songs sung over car rides and laughter that seemed to echo a little longer each day. Somewhere in those simple moments, I was reminded of something I think many of us forget.
Life isn't only made up of the milestones we work so hard toward. It's also made up of the quiet moments in between.
My niece and I have always shared a special bond. Watching her grow into motherhood has been one of the greatest gifts, and spending uninterrupted time with her and my little nephew filled my heart in ways I didn't expect. Life doesn't always unfold exactly as we imagine, but it has a beautiful way of placing people in our lives who expand our hearts. I feel incredibly grateful that I get to be part of his village, to love him, support him and watch him discover the world one adventure at a time.
This trip also reminded me how important it is to step away from work sometimes. Not because work isn't meaningful. It is. I love teaching and love this community and often learn from my students. Our lives become richer when we create space for the people we love. The emails can wait. The to-do list will still be there. Childhood, however, moves quietly and incredibly fast.
As I watched the waves roll in each day, I found myself thinking about how often we rush through our own lives, always looking ahead to the next thing or searching for a clear path. But when I think back on this trip, I won't remember checking my phone or crossing things off a list. I'll remember tiny arms wrapped around my neck, sandy toes, salty air, and a family that reminds me what really matters.
To pause.
To look up.
To linger a little longer over morning coffee, sunset walks, friend & family dinners, or a hug that lasts an extra few seconds.
Presence isn't only something we practice on the yoga mat, it's something we practice in our lives.
With gratitude,
Annette
June 2026
The Summer Solstice arrives each year as a gentle reminder to pause and notice. It marks the longest day of the year — a celebration of light, growth, and all that has been unfolding beneath the surface, often without us realizing it. Nature doesn't rush into bloom. It unfolds in its own time. And perhaps we're not so different…
As I reflect on this season, I'm reminded that growth doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like setting a boundary, taking a deep breath before reacting, resting when we need rest, and showing up for ourselves in small, consistent ways.
This year, the solstice feels especially meaningful. It arrives as I'm creating this new space and finding fresh ways to share the practice that has supported me for so many years.
If you've been practicing with me lately, you've probably heard me speak about coming home to yourself. The Summer Solstice feels like an invitation to do exactly that — to step into the light, acknowledge how far you've come, and trust the season you're in.
As we move into the fullness of summer, my hope is that you find moments to slow down, soak in the warmth, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Be well,
Annette
