TIFFANY GREEN​-MANAGER

Picture
Tiffany 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.

Chantalle took her very first yoga class at The Zen Zone in 2010. It didn't take long before a regular practice was an important part of her life. Chantalle began teaching Carmen's classic Warm Series at the studio. She completed a Yoga Fit certification and developed a deeper connection to her yoga practice while travelling to many countries around the world. In 2016, she began teaching consistently at The Zen Zone and took on flow and vinyasa styles as well. Chantalle is an elementary school teacher in the Brandon School Division and considers being both a teacher and instructor very valuable experiences. She hopes to see you in the studio soon to share her yoga practice with you! 

JENN CAMPBELL

Picture
After going through some major life changes, Jenn started doing yoga and quickly saw the mental, physical & emotional benefits of the practice.  The more she did it the better she felt which fuelled her passion to learn more about this ancient practice.  She began reading and researching and then in November 2016 she went to Mexico and took her RYT200 certification at Yandara Yoga.  The training helped to deepen her own practice and also gave her the knowledge and confidence to share yoga with others.  Since her training, Jenn has been teaching at The Zen Zone and is excited to share her experience and love of yoga with you.

BROOKE MCADAM

Hello! My name is Brooke, I’m from Saskatchewan and I took my first yoga class in 2011. I loved it but didn’t begin practicing regularly until 2013 when my boyfriend suggested doing Tara Stiles’ morning yoga for flexibility routine every day for a week just on YouTube. Later in 2013 I took my first class at Inner Peace Yoga studio in Saskatoon SK. I found a home at the studio and began practicing there as much as I could. In 2014 I began working at the studio part-time as an admin assistant and later completed my 200hr-YTT through the studio. In 2015 I managed the studio full-time and taught several classes a week. Since then I’ve moved around a bit more but am still passionate about sharing this practice that lives with me every day; helping me to create space in my body & mind; to connect my breath to my body; to drop into presence and to overall practice love. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the Zen Zone!

​COURTNEY SNIDER

Picture
Courtney, a Brandon University Alum as of 2010, began her Yoga journey at The Zen Zone in mid 2012.  Only one class was all it took for her to switch from the gym to the studio, claiming there to be no comparison between these two forms of fitness and the difference in her physique and emotional health proved it.  To help deepen her practice Courtney completed a 200 RYT training in Costa Rica in Nov 2014.  She feels extremely grateful to be given this opportunity to teach at The Zen Zone and can’t wait to see you in the studio!

Courtney has been on leave from The Zen Zone to welcome her sweet little man Ryker!  Ryker was born August 17, 6lbs 2oz.  So excited to meet the new little yogi!  She will be taking some time before she is back on her mat.  Congrats from the Zen Zone family Courtney!
