TEAM BIO

DARCI NYAL

CO-DIRECTOR, TEACHER

FACEBOOK
EMAIL

Darci is an avid student and teacher who feels that yoga doesn’t stop once you get off your mat. It’s a lifestyle, a way of living, and a way of taking care of those around you. With a deep love of storytelling, Darci has an ability to weave laughter and wisdom into the most mundane of life’s moments. Raised in a flow based community, Darci has studied Hatha, Vinyasa (Flow), Biomechanics and the body, strength training and intelligent sequencing. These areas of expertise give this studio, and Darci the ability to teach classes that not just inspire, not just pay homage to the traditions of yoga, but also the direction that yoga is now embarking on globally. She is always inspired by the teachings of Brene Brown and Michael Stone – strong leaders who challenge us to engage in conversation in ways where we get to take care of ourselves and each other and in return we feel a sense of joy, belonging and support.

Rose has moved onto a full-time position teaching art to young little ones, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for her. She will be a sub on the schedule moving forward so expect to see her randomly from time-to-time. For those who didn’t get to say goodbye to Rose, please share your love and well wishes for her in this post!

The most common reasons we see men entering our st The most common reasons we see men entering our studio are for stress reduction or mobility improvement. And while all of our classes are accessible, our Sweat and Stretch class helps to target both of those needs. Sweat and Stretch is a slower, closer to the ground heated practice where there is a major focus on building mobility through the joints and flexibility through exploration of end range of motion. Originally designed for Rugby Canada's men's national team, this class is perfect for the person with tight everything, whether you are a runner, elite athlete or a person who sits at a desk most of the day.

So why would you take a Fit class? Such a great q So why would you take a Fit class? Such a great question. When we practice The Roots of Flow it’s important to land in mobility increasing movements within the traditions of asana. But in a Fit class, there is a focus on building strength through dynamic movements and core stability. Combined they help build a well rounded body. The nice thing about all of our classes, even our Fit classes, is that students will get to go inward with a focus on breath. So regardless of which class you arrive to you will get an opportunity for an introspective experience. We look forward to seeing you soon!
