Twice Daily Yoga Practice
Each day will be accompanied by two wholesome and fresh yoga practices. Led by Jill Lovato, each class will be weaved with rich yogic philosophy and embody a sense of equanimity, purposefully curated for mind and body, and soul.

About the instructors:
Emilie Comeau
Emilie first discovered yoga in 2004 and it quickly became a part of her daily life. Since the very beginning of her practice she understood that there was no end to the knowledge hidden in this wonderful path. Lily's curiosity and love for yoga brought her to her first yoga teacher training in 2006. She started teaching shortly after at the young age of 18. Her desire to understand more about the human body, as well as her wish to help people on a path of wellness lead her to study Shiatsu. She received her first certification in Shiatsu therapy in 2007, followed by Level 2 certification in 2008, Always looking to learn more and deepen her practice, Emilie pursued more yoga teacher trainings. In 2010 she received a 300 hour certification from the Satyam School of Hatha Yoga in Montreal, followed by a 90 hour Chakra and Meditation training that same year. In 2014 she traveled to Nepal to study yoga therapy with Swami Vishnuswaroop at the Divine Yoga Institute of Kathmandu, and received another 200 hour certification. The years of dedication to study and practice have helped Emilie develop a teaching style that is knowledgeable, well versed, generous and compassionate.
