Closing Cacao Ceremony Facilitator

She will be hosting our closing, & final ceremony of the weekend at the Ganges Yoga Studio downtown Salt Spring. This will be a beautiful Cacao Ceremony, held with sound healing integration, meditation and a gentle flow 🧘🏻‍♀️

The ceremony’s intention is to bring everything that we have gathered from the weekend and lock it into our cells. Grounding ourselves, and holding before setting off island, and walking into spring.

Luna is originally from Vancouver, but she spent the past 25 years of her life abroad, living and working in 7 different countries, before finally opening a health and wellness centre in England (back in 2019).
When she moved back to Canada last year to be with her elderly father, she brought along her English hubby, children and dogs. Here they chose to stay & settle on Salt Spring Island. Salt Spring was chosen so that she could take over the Ganges Yoga Studio, downtown. Since moving here last January, Luna has renovated the studio, making it hers. She aims to help clients calm their minds, strengthen their bodies, and nourish their spirits ✨

Morning Yoga Instructor

Angela has been teaching Yoga since 2008 and it is still one of her greatest passions in life. Regardless of the style of Yoga, she shows up authentically. Bringing to every class lived experiences, stories, playfulness, presence and a deep love for what she is offering.

Angela is committed to living her Yoga and sharing it with the world. She embodies her passions and believes we can create lives that are aligned with our heart and Soul. When we honour our gifts, learn from our challenges, embrace our humanity, and live with a loving presence. It is an opportunity to come to a healthier, more aligned way of Being with ourselves, each other, and Mother Earth. Now that's the "real Yoga" 😉

Angela teaches a variety of styles of Yoga from Hatha, Vinyasa, Slow Flow, Yin, Restorative, Restorative + Reiki, Breathwork, Meditation, and her greatest passion Modern Kundalini Yoga.

Modern Kundalini Yoga:

I have created a unique style of Yoga called Modern Kundalini. Combining ancient wisdom, life experiences, and a sense of playfulness. This is an empowering, uplifting, purifying, detoxifying, fun and liberating practice.

The practice is done with the eyes closed as an opportunity to see more clearly within.

Each class has a specific Kriya / Intention: Kriya means Action.

There are 1000’s of Kriyas that support a variety of different things.

To name a few : Nervous system support, liver & digestion support, kidneys and releasing fear, Self Love, intuition, clarity, balance, grounding, and the list goes on and on.

Every class is a unique experience to move the body, sweat, pause, chant, feel and move the energy that is not aligned to then be present to the energy that is.

It is a workout for the Body, Mind and Soul. Bringing you home to a deeper connection to your inner "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo" - The Divine Infinite Wisdom Within.
