Ashley
Ashley
My name is Ashley Burton … and before PYC, I was someone who really didn’t realize who I actually was. I felt like what I did for a living, my culture, age and heritage – all these exterior attributes – made up WHO I WAS. At the time I was living a life for myself really and much less self-aware than I’ve become after diving into the culture of personal development and self inquiry.

Gillian
Gillian
Gillian brings warmth, thoughtful sequencing, and a deep respect for the connection between breath, movement, and community. Her classes range from powerful, music-driven flows and breath-led unplugged Hot Power Yoga practices, to Deep Flow, Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Sound Healing. Across styles, she emphasizes presence, challenge, and care. With a background as a Chef and Food Therapist, Gillian approaches yoga as a way to nourish our whole being, supporting students in cultivating strength, grounded intention, and connection.

Sonia
Sonia
Hi, I’m Sonia! I’m a yoga and Pilates instructor, children’s yoga educator, and sound healing practitioner. I’m passionate about creating welcoming spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and move with intention. My classes blend mindful movement, breathwork, and moments of stillness to support both body and mind. As a teacher, I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to honour their own unique practice and leave feeling grounded, refreshed and connected.
