Taylor Mitchell
Fitness Instructor
“I began training with Rayanne after a life of little weight lifting and routine movement and it brought a huge sense of enjoyment and strength that I never knew possible. In this time I have realized how important it is to bring approachability to the fitness world. I love to offer a class that can be suited for both mobility and strength, offering modifications and options, fun tunes and a feeling of overall strength.
Since beginning to teach I have realized it’s something I enjoy so very much, and thankful that I can be in an environment where everyBODY has a place for movement and feeling strong. I believe in a life of balance, both literally and figuratively. I’m looking forward to gaining more certifications and helping others along the way!
In my spare time you can find me with my fur babies, trying new food, or in the gym trying a new workout. Look forward to meeting you!”

Jo-Leen Saulnier
Yoga Instructor
"My passion for yoga started very unexpectedly, I injured my wrist and was into a lot of sports that I wasn’t able to return to. I had just moved into the area and kept noticing Halifax Yoga. I finally got the courage to go in and take a class which was a hot power. At the end of the class I knew I was in love with my new found release for my mind, body and soul.
I am now a Yoga Teacher and have been teaching for a few years, I started immediately after I graduated from the 200HR Power vinyasa teacher training and recently graduated from a Mentorship program at Halifax Yoga.
I’m always grateful for the opportunity to guide and hold space for others during their practice, it truly is an honour that can not be put into words."
