My Story
I started practicing yoga while at university and came back to it after moving to Canada.
Yoga helped me deal with physical health issues and stress, related to working long hours in the restaurant industry as a chef. I used to practice at least twice a week and yoga became my escape and my rescue. I wanted to learn more about yoga and I enrolled in yoga teachers training at Sheridan College in Oakville.
I loved the program and am excited to share my passion for yoga with those around me. I wasn’t ready to teach a group of “strangers” so I started practicing with my friends. I would guide them through a yoga session once a week and that helped me find my voice and teaching style.
Moving with awareness, listening to your breath, and finding ease in each pose is the main goal of my yoga class. As I continued to teach and develop a deeper personal practice, I wanted to learn more. After having my daughter and seeing the benefits of prenatal and postnatal yoga, I completed a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training program.
In 2019, I started my yoga business – teaching corporate and private sessions. I was slowly moving away from my restaurant job, but then the Covid pandemic hit. I moved to teach online zoom classes (small groups and corporate) and continue to expand my fitness and wellness knowledge.
I completed Pilates teacher training in 2020, Laughter Yoga leader training in 2021, and Meditation Teacher certification in 2023. I felt the positive impact of yoga and meditation on my body and mind, I love the strength, control, and precise movement of Pilates and I truly enjoy the playfulness of Laughter Yoga.
Testimonials
"Over the last 10 years, I have regularly attended Ivana’s yoga classes (gentle mat yoga, chair yoga, and meditation) in many different settings (indoors, outdoors, in person, and by zoom). As a senior, I like the way Ivana clearly describes and demonstrates how to move into the poses. She delivers a gentle class with smooth transitions and modifications for a total body stretch and workout. I highly recommend her practice if you want to feel great in your body.""

"Ivana's yoga classes have changed my life! I can reach for things under the couch without fear that I'll never get up again. I can climb up and stand on a chair to get things out of high cupboards (though I know I shouldn't) without fear of falling. Ivana's gentle, easy-to-follow instructions have guided me to a more flexible and balanced life. She's careful to modify the moves for anyone with health or physical issues. And for those who like a challenge, she's happy to set you one." "
-Jennifer M.

"I have had the pleasure of doing Gentle Yoga with Ivana for many years now. She leads her classes expertly so that you feel both comfortable at all times and yet also able to challenge yourself. I enjoy Ivana’s chair yoga too, which I credit with helping me to maintain flexibility and energy. Ivana’s guided meditations are calming and soothing. I highly recommend it all.""
