ABOUT TINA
Renowned for her yoga teaching as well as environmental stewardship, Tina has offered over 30 trainings in the past 30 years, this training is her first ever (and long-anticipated) residential teacher training at Nectar.
A former mountaineer, marathoner, competitive equestrian rider, yoga studio owner and so much more, she is a true Bhakti practitioner.
Tina lives, eats and breathes the essence of what yoga is particularly through her environmental stewardship. She is a voice for the voiceless and speaks up about why a plant-based diet is so important within these yoga practices.
“Environmentalism and animal activism are why "I became a yoga teacher," to honour the earth with my First Nations elders with respect for nature and the sacred ceremonies, and to use it as a platform to share and educate.”
Tina is an authorized Senior Ashtanga yoga teacher by Manju Jois at the European Academy of Ashtanga yoga with 30 years of experience, as well as an advanced Jivamukti teacher with 15 years of experience.
She teaches a life program every year in India at the eco-village Govardhan, 800-hour mentorships, private retreats, sweat lodge and vision quests with her Elders.
