Our Yoga Instructors
Brigit COGROSSI, RYT, RMT
Brigit Cogrossi
Brigit Cogrossi has a passionate fascination with health, healing and well-being since the 80′s. Her interest in human bio-mechanics, anatomy, dance, and fitness led her to start teaching fitness at the age of 18.
After many injuries, Brigit discovered the healing powers of massage therapy and rehabilitation through movement and stretching. In 1989 she became licensed as a Registered Massage Therapist.
After 18 years of practicing yoga and 7 years of teaching and learning, Brigit feels the ultimate fruits of her yoga practice: clarity, gratitude, focus, strength, flexibility, devotion, patience, compassion, and greater mobility and comfort in her own skin, allowing her to flow a little freer through whatever life brings. Using the practice, Brigit has learned shining the light of Awareness into the sensations of the physical body and mind fosters the connection to your True Wisdom.
Brigit is grateful for her many fantastic teachers, from her earliest Iyvengar training, to Hatha Yoga, Anusara with Desiree Rambaugh and Martin Kirk, to completing her 300RYT with Tracey Rich & Ganga White at White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California. And into the present, the most recent teacher she has been drawn to is Natalie Rousseau of Living Yoga. Natalie shares her amazing amount of wisdom in the subtle practises, meditation, Ayurvedic Science and mythology. In June 2016, Brigit will complete her Advanced Training Intensive: Skill in Action, in Victoria with Natalie.
Please Join Brigit at : Pender Harbour Aquatic Centre in Fall/Winter/Spring months

Enjoy The Journey. Namaste.

Carole Logtenberg, RYT
Yoga has always been a part of my life. My mother taught me breathing exercises and yoga postures from a very early age. Those early teachings have stayed with me my whole life but it was not until a trip to India in 2005 that I started to seriously deepen my yoga practice.
Since then, I have practiced and studied on the Sunshine Coast and on Maui. I completed my 200 hour Unified Yoga Teacher Training on the Big Island of Hawaii learning many vinyasa flows, meditation techniques, pranayamas as well as the history of yoga and its philosophy.
In my classes, we will challenge ourselves with balance postures and strengthen our cores with abdominal and back exercises. We will flow through postures to strengthen, extend and relax muscles bringing an overall ease and confidence to our bodies and minds. It is my hope that finding peace and balance in our practice on the mat will allow us to live our yoga off the mat.
In 2019, I completed a 35 hour Chair Yoga Teacher Training Program.
