Isabelle Soucy

Isabelle discovered Yoga in 2007 when introduced to a yoga for runners class--running being a sport she has been dedicated to for years. She has since considered yoga to be an ideal complement to other athletic sports, and would occasionally indulged in Power Yoga sessions, prior to moving to Quebec in 2009 and discovering the Hot Yoga Prana Studio, which lit in her a passion for this form of physical activity. In the summer of 2012, she certified as a Hatha Yoga instructor at Rama Lotus Studio in Ottawa, during which she saw a new reality opening up to her - now realizing that the physical postures are one small component of yoga, she enjoys discovering and implementing the many aspects of yoga into a global lifestyle.

Isabelle is currently completing a PhD in psychology and soon to be a certified psychologist. She observes a close parallel between yoga and psychology; mindfulness-based practices inherent of yoga can easily transpose to such cognitive-behavioral psychological skills as developing emotional, cognitive and physical awareness. She emphasises these principles in her practice and teaching.
Yoga Alliance member since August 2012.
