YOGA INSTRUCTORS & MUSICIANS
Eoin FInn
Blissology, Victoria BC
The Canadian native is a globally renowned yogi, surfer and Blissologist who has been carving his original tracks through the metaphysical worlds of yoga, philosophy and movement since 1989. Called by Yoga Journal the “Thoreau of yoga” for his eco-activism and commitment to connecting yogis with the spirituality of nature, and by Oprah a “personality to discover,” Eoin Finn’s Blissology style of yoga is based on a simple idea: sharing happiness.
Eoin has studied Anatomy + Physiology at Harvard Medical School and Exercise Physiology at the University of California, Berkeley. While rooted deeply in yoga’s therapeutic and transformative alignment and physiology, his down-to-earth, modern spiritual insights refresh like cool water. He firmly believes that to find bliss, you must “seek quiet solitude in nature.”
A passionate ocean-activist, he started the Blissology EcoKarma project in 2014 raising aid and awareness through yoga and activism for the world’s precious but imperilled coral reefs

Nathalie Saintonge
Cardio Loft, Val-David
Nathalie has been practicing yoga, intermittently, for around 20 years. She has always loved this discipline, this sport, this art, and feels that yoga has a beneficial effect on her body and her soul. However, her interest in yoga really developed when she undertook in-depth studies. She followed training at Yoga Sangha (380 hours) with the wonderful Sylvie Tremblay, and this fascination increased with the addition of several other training courses, notably. with Eoin Finn of Blissology (over 150 hours), with whom her love for yoga took shape several years ago and she is currently completing a 100 hour training in Yin Yoga. For Nathalie, a yoga class is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the living being that we are, love, and to transform the experience into a joyful sharing. She often laughs with her students during a sun salutation, and the rhythm of the music in her sessions can sometimes get louder, while at times remaining soft but powerful. Her goal is for her students to experience yoga on all levels, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. Nathalie leads her classes with joy and authenticity, enjoying seeing participants experience yoga in their unique way while guiding them towards an optimal experience of the poses. Because, according to her, when the body is active, everything around us is active, and that is when life can be celebrated, both on the mat and in every aspect of daily life.

Krishna Mat
Krishna Yatra Yoga
Since childhood, I have embarked on a sacred odyssey of Spirit. I've journeyed through diverse paths, guided by the radiant presence of my lineage, towards Awakening and Self-Realization. From the ancient Red Path rituals of North America - Inipi, Sun Dance, Vision Quest, and Chanunpa - to the healing embrace of Ayahuasca and other entheogens in Mexico and South America, I delved into the essence of humanity's connection with the cosmos. Venturing deeper, I studied and practiced Mahayana Buddhism and finally immersed myself in the transformative and profound practices of Yoga, enriching and unfolding my understanding of unity and transcendence. Through devoted Sadhana and study, I received the revelation of the ancient wisdom of Soma Amrita, leading to a profound revelation of Self. Today, as a dedicated practitioner and teacher of Yatra Yoga, I share transformative journeys, harmonizing body, heart, mind, and soul. Guiding seekers towards Awakening and Self-Realization, I open the path to reveal the radiant core of their being, empowering them to step into their authentic essence and experience their Higher-Self.
