  About Me BarrhavenYoga is based on the belief that an individualized approach is of utmost importance. I help my students find their own personal edge and brush up against it, challenge it, for there is no room for growth in your comfort zone. My approach to the practice and teaching of Yoga is one of precision, passion, and dedication. Iyengar Yoga is well-known for its emphasis on precision and alignment. In January 2010 I was accepted into the teacher training program here in Ottawa and am currently studying under the director of the Ottawa Center, Donna Fornelli. Donna shares her wealth of information and experience with the generosity and spirit of a true yogini. Over the last year, Dr. Ray Long has become not just an employer, but a close mentor and creative partner, an example of the power of mind to create miracles when you commit and persevere. He has both inspired me to study and personally taught me most of what I know about the anatomical details of asana. Sylvie Gouin, a dedicated practitioner and phenomenal teacher, has walked the path of Yoga with me from the start. She exemplifies the true meaning of a Guru, dispelling darkness and showing the way of right thinking. She has uplifted, inspired, and encouraged me in every moment. She is a close friend and my ultimate teacher of Yoga off the mat. Although Hatha Yoga has many physical benefits, its true purpose lies in cultivating a peaceful mind. I study the philosophy and science of Yoga, as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, under the indirect guidance of Georg Feurstein. Through these teachings, I offer students ways to connect with a sense of inner stillness, leaving them feeling stretched, refreshed, and ready to take on another day. For me, the practice of Yoga happens both on and off the mat, and I encourage my students to consider their own practice in this way. I'm so grateful to every person who walks through the doors of BarrhavenYoga, because it presents an opportunity for me to serve, learn, and grow as a teacher. For those who have been with me from the beginning THANK YOU. For those who are just [considering] starting out, I look forward to the opportunity to lead you on this fantastic journey. Namasté, Eryn
