Collette Beckford

Collette Beckford - A certified Yoga instructor and in addition to Yoga, my full-time work is based in Downtown Toronto as an accountant in the insurance industry.  I came to practice yoga for stress relief and fitness. The sheer love I have for Yoga evolved as I started to realize the impact, not only on my physical wellbeing, but also my mind and lifestyle.

I am always looking to learn, grow, and implement new yoga techniques and flows to provide variation for my clients as well as keeping up to date with new practices. I invest myself in Yoga and am constantly emerging myself in the field by learning from and in collaboration with others.

My family and I emigrated from England to Ontario, Canada in the summer of 2012 and that’s when my yoga journey began. Admittedly, my first classes were challenging, and I could barely flow from one asana to the next, but I was hooked on the feeling I experienced after each class. As the years went by, I decided to share my passion with others and in 2020 I became a certified yoga instructor.

My classes are centered around honoring our bodies, finding our own connection, and working at a level that is comfortable for our own body and mind - after all yoga is about the journey, and not the destination.

 As well as my passion for Yoga I have also started my journey with Zumba.  After receiving my Zumba Instructor License I went on to further educate myself by taking the Zumba Virtual Pro and Zumba Gold (including Zumba chair) courses.
