Dana has been immersed in the world of movement for most of her life; throughout her formative years training intensively in various dance forms, graduating from the Performing Arts Program at George Brown College, and sustaining a 20-year career as a performer and dance educator. Her curiosity for movement continues to evolve. Dana became passionate about Pilates as it impacted her life as a professional dancer and became necessary for injury prevention and rehabilitation. This passion would continue to grow as she became a new mother and the physical changes and demands of parenthood expanded her view on how Pilates can help heal, build strength, confidence, and increase body awareness. Once thought of as a complement to her career in dance, Dana soon realized this new discipline was rich with unbounded knowledge and became a certified Pilates Instructor through the Pilates Process method in Mat, Reformer, Stability Chair, and Therapeutic Pilates. Her classes are foundation-focused and geared towards enhancing core strength, isolating different muscle groups, improving coordination, and focusing on fluidity of breath and movement. Guiding her clients through exercises, Dana uses a personalized lens to help her clients work toward individual goals—whether improving mobility and range of movement, increasing strength, or working towards less pain—with building individual confidence as a top priority.

Amy is a yoga teacher (RYT200), psychotherapist, and professional brain nerd. Drawn particularly to slow flows, yin, meditation, and breathwork, Amy sees yoga as an invitation to slow down, soften thoughts, and find your way back into your body. Her teaching weaves somatic awareness and gentle self-reflection with a deep love of music and nostalgia — creating practices that set movement and breath to dreamy songs from the past. Her approach is warm, curious, and a little unconventional. There’s less emphasis on achieving the perfect pose and more on noticing what you feel, following what your body needs, and perhaps remembering a version of yourself you haven’t visited in a while. Expect deep stretches, space to breathe, and permission to simply come as you are.
