TIFFANY GREEN-MANAGERTiffany Green has considered yoga to be a very important part of her life over the past 8 years. Her practice has helped her to find a connection between the mind and body while gaining strength, flexibility and fearlessness both on and off the mat. The idea of teaching yoga first came to her while on vacation in Victoria, BC in November of 2012. She attended a yoga class and walked out of the studio with a feeling of ultimate bliss that she had never yet experienced in her life. In April 2017, Tiffany completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training (200-RYT) in Bali, Indonesia with Eoin Finn and the Blissology School of Yoga. She found this experience to be life changing and transformational in ways she never thought imaginable. During her training, she was inspired to create a life mission "to be unconditional love and kindness." Yoga and meditation have inspired her to live more mindfully, with increased awareness to live fully. Come join her at The Zen Zone for a practice that will leave you feeling connected, relaxed and with an improved sense of well-being.
