Tanya Nadeau
My name is Tanya Nadeau and I grew up in the Kootenays. I have been teaching Yoga and Meditation for 9 years and have owned the Yoga and Arts studio, Yoga I am that for 3 years. My passion for Yoga, firstly arrived when my injuries were preventing me from doing simple movement, like walking, and my digestion started to feel painful regularly. I have always been a searcher in life and felt it was my job to discover any obstructions to happiness and to mend them. I have 500+ hours of teacher training and I have been to India 3 times to understand the teachings from the roots. My last voyage to India, I began to study Ayurveda, and now I use it regularly in my life, and share it with my clients.
