Hi, I’m Noel, and I believe movement is medicine for the body and soul. My love affair with yoga began during my university years, and it’s been a lifelong journey ever since. Now in my 60s, I’m just as passionate about teaching as I was in my 20s—because yoga isn’t about age, flexibility, or perfection. It’s about feeling good in your own skin.

Yoga is for everyone. It’s adaptable, accessible, and achievable—no matter where you’re starting from. Forget the pressure to “look” a certain way or chase fitness trends. Yoga was never meant to be a workout; it’s a "Work-In". My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and help you create a practice that supports your life—whether that means reducing stress, improving sleep, boosting digestion, or simply finding a moment of peace.

Along the way, I discovered Qigong—a practice that transformed my own health and energy. It’s now a cornerstone of what I teach, blending beautifully with yoga to create "Qi-Yoga", a unique practice that combines the 5 Elements of Chinese Medicine with Yoga and that nourishes both body and mind.

My training spans decades:

* Hatha Yoga Teacher training at the Himalayan Institute (1990-92)
* Qigong and Martial arts
* Yin Yoga online training with Bernie Clark
* Certified LoveYourBrain Yoga teacher
* Qigong teacher training with Bryan Isacks at Yoga Farm Ithaca (2024)
* 5 Element Qigong Mentorship with Mimi Kuo Deemer (2025-ongoing)
* Creator of Qi-Yoga Foundations Course
Today, alongside my acupuncture practice, I teach Qigong and Qi-Yoga classes in London, ON as well as teach online and internationally the Qi-Yoga Foundations course.
