My name is Christy MacNeil and I am a 200-hr RYT who loves connecting and guiding others through the practice of yoga.

I began my yoga teacher training in 2018 with Breathing Space Yoga Studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At the time, I took this training as a way to dive deeper into the "work" I so desperately longed to do since my father's passing in 2011. I never dreamed that I would become an instructor myself.

When I graduated my program, I decided to begin offering classes at a local community center and fell in love with the connections I was making and the way people were responding to the classes.

That summer I began teaching classes on the beach. Needless to say, bringing two things together that deeply move me, yoga and nature, was serendipitous. 

For years I was always looking to the next thing, expending all of my energy in the process. I would stay up too late, do too much, spread myself too thin, until I finally burnt out in 2022.

Through my yoga practice, journaling, counselling, and personal reflection, I have realized that I was using over-productivity to avoid coping with the underlying feelings, emotions, and anxiety that was buried underneath.

I am currently working towards my 500-hr RYT and believe in continuing my education and skillset in whatever I am passionate about.
