Meet Our Instructors at Love Yourself. Studio
At Love Yourself. Studio in Downtown Kitchener, our team is made up of real people who bring genuine care, lived experience, and grounded expertise to every class and session. This is not a high-performance studio with picture-perfect poses and waterproof makeup. Our instructors show up for the lumpies and the bumpies, for the people who are hurting, for anyone who has ever felt like a traditional yoga class just wasn't built for them. Whether you are stepping onto a mat for the first time or returning to movement after an injury, the experienced wellness facilitators here meet you exactly where you are. Get to know the people behind the practice below.

The People Who Make This a Safe Space
Our team brings a range of specializations across restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, Chair yoga for limited mobility and joint pain, Vinyasa, and Ecstatic Tantric Movement. Each facilitator is chosen not only for their training but for their ability to hold space with warmth and without judgment. Full instructor bios and headshots are being finalized and will be added here shortly. In the meantime, you are always welcome to reach out through our contact page to ask about a specific class or facilitator.
