Introducing Shantal, a soulful guide on the path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening through the practice of Guna Yoga. Her life, a tapestry woven with diverse experiences, has led her to the profound intersection of spirituality and well-being.
In the serene embrace of Guna Yoga, Shantal seamlessly blends her rich life tapestry with the ancient wisdom of yoga, creating a sacred space for transformation. From the grounding roots of her farm days to the dynamic energy of managing restaurants and gyms, Shantal has navigated life's twists and turns with grace.
Formerly a figure competitor with the IDFA, Shantal transcended the physical to embrace the holistic essence of yoga. Her journey took a daring turn at 17 when she hitchhiked across Australia, a pilgrimage of self-discovery that sowed the seeds of her spiritual exploration.
At 20, Shantal embraced her warrior spirit, becoming the only female in an Infantry Platoon within The Canadian Armed Forces. This modern-day G.I. Jane emerged not only physically resilient but spiritually awakened, embodying the profound teachings of Guna Yoga.
Amidst the ebb and flow of life, including two divorces and surviving domestic abuse, Shantal's heart remained a beacon of love and empathy. Today, she channels this compassion into her Guna Yoga practice, guiding seekers on a transformative journey of inner alchemy.
In Shantal's classes, each asana becomes a sacred offering, a prayer in motion. Her teaching transcends the physical, delving into the subtle realms of the mind and spirit. Beyond the mat, Shantal's punk rock heart infuses a rebellious yet harmonious energy, creating an atmosphere where spirituality meets self-expression.
With each breath, Shantal invites others to join her in the dance of consciousness, embracing the divine within. Her Guna Yoga online classes and energy sessions are not just a physical practice; they are a spiritual odyssey—an exploration of the self, guided by a compassionate soul who has found the sacred in every twist and turn of life's journey.
