After hosting popular retreats the past four years, Britt has agreed to host two Wooden Tents sessions again in 2025. Her always pleasant vibe is the perfect compliment to the peaceful simplicity of Island life. Britt its a true believer in the positive power of creating a stability in your yoga - rooted in daily practice. Over four days she’ll help you regain your rhythm allowing your attention to turn inward - helping to harmonize your mind, body, and soul.

Get back in your groove. Britt will teach you to build balanced poses from the ground up so you can focus on using the power of breath and movement. She has created a very mindful practice that combines meditation with energizing morning flows and relaxing evening sessions that will guide you to a deeper sense of self - and of inner calm.

And you can choose to make it easier. Again this year we are offering a catered meal plan. Our new neighbours ran restaurants before moving to Pictou Island and have put together a wonderful healthy menu that will make eating meals one of the highlights of her early session!

Root down. Rise up. Re-centre!

Her studies took her to Vancouver where she mentored under Gloria Latham. Since finishing her teacher training, she has completed Janet Stone’s 5 Elements training in Mexico and has taken part in a number of Gurmukh’s workshops.

Brit spent her 20’s traveling before eventually returning to her roots in Nova Scotia, where she now leads classes at various locations in Antigonish and Pictou Counties! She lives near Antigonish with her husband and daughter. Together they run Maple Heart Media, a small in-home videography business. In fact, while Britt hosted her first retreat they produced their own short video you can watch below:
