My Name is Ashley Robinson, I AM a multi passionate being and have a thirst for life-long learning. I AM a proud Dog Mom to 2 beautiful Lady labs!! Raven and “Pirate P“ Payton, mother and daughter duo, pets are therapy, Nature is medicine and water is my element, I love the outdoors and kayaking is at the top of my favorite things to do. Then there is Yoga, its healing and incredibly empowering in so many ways. I walked into Breathe over 7 years ago full of trepidation, nerves, and anxiety to try something new and out of my comfort zone, but I said Yes and tried Aerial Yoga which was the start to my Journey with Breathe, I continued stepping out of my comfort zone trying different classes and kept falling more in love with the practice. It has become a lifestyle and a way of life for me. Not realizing my life was about to take a monumental dive into a journey of self healing, self love and transcending trauma and PTSD with the power of Yoga, meditation and mindfulness with a community devoted to supporting one another in living HEALthy JOYful Authentic lives. Turning Grief into Grace, Yoga saved my life!
I AM beyond grateful to join the Breathe Family, from Karma student to Karma Teacher,
A Dream come to life!! The Art of Living.
While first feeling sceptical of trying yoga, Beth decided to attend a beginners yoga series in 2008 and became quickly hooked. She has been practicing yoga regularly ever since and has attended many training workshops over the years to deepen her knowledge.
She started the Pilates Teacher Training Matwork at Breathe in 2020, never intending to teach, but quickly discovered that she loved teaching. Beth completed her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Certification with Inspiritus Yoga in 2021 and is currently pursuing her 300 Hour Master Yoga Teacher Certification. She is also a licensed engineer working in the automotive industry in Tecumseh.
Hi, I’m Tal. A self-growth student, adventure seeker & yoga teacher. I’m a crystal-loving, chakra balancing, and wine drinking bookworm, who loves nature and loves to teach how to transform your life on-and-off-the-mat with a holistic yoga practice.
Yoga & Meditation found me when I needed them the most, and through my passion am helping others find the transformational energy that helped me in my healing process and journey. I take a holistic body-mind-soul approach in my teachings that are both light-hearted and deep-rooted.
Bianca’s first introduction to yoga was in a kid’s class she took when she was 12 years old. From there, she practised on and off, becoming more serious about her practice when she started as a karma student here, at Breathe, in 2017.
She became interested in completing her teacher training as a way to learn more about the physical practice, as well as the philosophical and spiritual aspects of yoga. She is very excited to have the opportunity to teach, especially at a studio she loves!

Mindfulness Meditation – 45 minute class
This class is for new and experienced meditators alike. Mindfulness Meditation classes will be guided and will also include time for less guided time towards the end of the class. The final 15 minutes will be silent where you can stay with your own breath or you can spend that time journaling and then end in a restful Shavasana. If you wish to journal please bring your supplies. Most people find they become cold during meditation so please consider bringing a sweater and some socks. The studio has blankets and bolsters. If you have your own meditation pillow please bring it along. You are free to dress for comfort. For some that may be yoga or leisure wear and for others jeans. It is entirely up to you! We look forward to the collective energy of the class that often arises as we meditate in community.
Restorative Yoga – 60 minute class
This class is suitable for practitioners of all levels. It is a restful practice where we will hold yoga poses for longer durations of 5 minutes up to 15 minutes per pose. We use props to provide support for deep relaxation, stillness is a powerful practice. You will be guided through each pose without rush! The studio has blankets and bolsters and blocks to provide support during each pose. If you wish to bring a meditation pillow, eye pillow and more blankets you are welcome to do so. Please bring your yoga mat and dress for comfort.

Certified 200RYT & Yoga NidraHi! I’m Elle! I truly believe in the benefits of yoga and meditation and want to help others experience the beauty of these practices.I started my yoga practice in 2015. I wanted to try something new, find more calmness and build strength. I wasn’t expecting it to lead me down a path that also gave me so much growth and awareness, allowing me to find inner peace and learning to deal better with my emotions and my life situations. I am eternally grateful to my practice and the things it has taught me. It has made me stronger physically, mentally and emotionally, and that is what I hope to share with others.I have 2 beautiful children. I love food, reading, running, traveling and being outdoors. I make natural bath and body products. I love finding silence and stillness and connecting in yoga, breath, and with nature. I really look forward to sharing and connecting with you all ☺️🙏♥️~~~Class description: Monday’s 7:30pmYoga Nidra is a state between awake and asleep, and is often referred to as yogic sleep. The aim of this practice is to guide the practitioner through the first stages of sleep that triggers a relaxation response. The body and mind are taken into deep rest and clarity through intention setting, breathwork, visualization and systematically relaxing all areas of the body.Dress for warmth and comfort, bring your yoga mat and if you’d like a pillow or 2, blanket and eye covering. You will stretch first and then lay down, get cozy, listen to the teachers guidance and rest!
