Pilates & Fitness
ABOUT SUE I have been practicing pilates and yoga for over 25 years, after experiencing my first bout of back pain. After discovering that my alignment was off, I began to explore Pilates and then yoga. I fell in love with both. I especially enjoyed the synchronicity of breathwork and movement (mind, soul & body) which then led me to seek out meditation. This combination has enabled me to evolve and to realize that I wanted to share my love of Pilates, yoga, breathwork and meditation with others. Mike and I were lucky enough to have the space, vision and like-minded goals to create Studio NOW. We wanted to offer our passions & knowledge to our community. We feel such gratitude to have this space in our lives. My promise is to continue on the path of learning and with this, offer the very best experience to every person who walks into the studio.

ABOUT JENN I experimented with Yoga and Pilates for a little over 10 years while raising my family and working full time. I started getting serious in 2014 but after three years of multiple joint injuries, I was forced to stop abruptly. Originally taking the yoga teacher training to learn about my body’s alignment after being diagnosed with Hyper Mobility Syndrome (hyper flexible/soft cartilage), I realized that yoga was so much more than a physical practice. I fell in love with teaching and guiding others into finding peace and relaxation in their busy lives. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in June 2018 and have since become a forever student when it comes to natural, holistic healing and enhancing my teaching skills. By spring of 2019 I was hired as a permanent instructor, certified as a Hypnosis Practitioner and started my own business Just Breathe Yoga and Mindfulness. I’m a heart centred instructor using pranayama, intuitive sequencing and subtle energies to guide you. No matter what class you book with me you are guaranteed to go on a full mind, body, soul journey ❤️
mike
long life fitness coach
ABOUT MIKE I have had a lifelong relationship with fitness and sports. Always learning from each experience and carrying these lessons with me to today. As young athletes, we take for granted that what we can do physically today will be the same years, or decades later. Our bodies naturally begin to lose strength, the ability to balance and with that, our overall stability. This can lead to falls, broken bones and injuries that may affect the rest of our lives. Longlife fitness does not just mean living long, but more importantly, living fit! My goal goal is to share my passion and knowledge with anyone who takes one of my classes.

HONOURARY TEACHERS - RUSSELL & REGGIE
We love the studio because we get to sometimes visit with our members - only if mom and dad allow us to say 'hello'. We love listening to the soft music through the door! We are teachers of love, patience (Reggie) and playfulness! Favourite pose? Russell - Downward Facing Dog Reggie - Puppy Pose (of course)
