Retreat Facilitator

Retreat led by Sierra Day, yogini of 15 years with 300hr yoga teacher training from India and the Canary Islands and pilates mat 1 training from Toronto. The focus of her yoga is vinyasa yoga, which is about connecting movement to breath, and to calm the body and nervous system through pranayama and meditation techniques. From gentle warm-ups to more challenging poses, expect a variety of asanas to increase strength, flexibility, and balance by pulling from yoga and pilates modalities.

Sierra's yoga journey grew in tandem with her food journey. She has worked in the culinary industry for 17 years and has recieved formal education and training in culinary arts as well as a BASc in nutrition and food. She focuses on anti-inflammatory meals made with real ingredients to promote wellness from the inside out.
