Alanna is a passionate, devoted, and endlessly curious movement guide, educator, and community leader who is deeply inspired
by the transformative power of dance, embodiment, and shared experience. A Black Belt Nia teacher who has been teaching
since 2014, she is also a certified JourneyDance guide, somatic educator, 200-hour yoga teacher, and certified feminine embodiment coach through the School of Embodied Arts, with a professional background in contemporary dance.

 

During her years studying dance, Alanna
discovered Nia and other movement practices as powerful pathways for healing, self-expression, and connection—and they have
continued to shape her life and teaching ever since. She brings devotion, playfulness, sensuality, passion, and surrender to her work, guiding people beyond simply moving their bodies toward a deeper experience of their innate joy, agency, creativity, and aliveness. A lifelong student, she continues to explore and study diverse movement practices, including Gaga movement language, the work of Gabrielle Roth, yoga, somatics, and other embodied approaches, allowing her teaching to continually evolve.

 

As the founder of Embody Movement Studio in small town British Columbia Canada, Alanna has spent years creating spaces for people to gather, move, connect, and grow, and has led retreats in the Canadian Rockies, Bali, and the Azores. Music, nature, colour, travel, creativity, inspiration, and the magic of moving together with shared purpose are at the heart of what
makes her feel most alive—and what she loves most is holding space for others to discover that aliveness within themselves.

Hailey became a certified trainer in the spring of 2014 after dedicating herself to training for a large-scale open-water swim. As she trained, she discovered not only how much stronger and more capable her body could become, but also how much happier she felt through movement. That experience inspired her to pursue fitness as a career, and she has been passionate about helping others discover the same sense of strength and wellbeing ever since.

​

With experience training in large gyms, working independently with private clients, and currently offers private personal training sessions as well at the studio. Hailey brings a thoughtful and adaptable approach to fitness. For over three years, she has been a valued instructor at Embody Movement Studio, where she has found a particular passion for small-group classes and the sense of connection they create.

 

Hailey’s classes are rooted in slow, steady, foundational movement, drawing inspiration from Yoga, Pilates, Barre, and strength training. Her goal is to help people better understand their bodies, build strength and confidence, and leave class feeling both challenged and uplifted.

She believes fitness should be accessible, supportive, and adaptable to the person in front of her. Her classes are thoughtfully customized to meet participants where they are, welcoming a wide range of ages, abilities, and fitness levels. For Hailey, there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone recognize what their body is capable of—and feel strong, capable, and at home in themselves.

After a two-year pause from teaching to welcome and care for her growing family, Stephanie has returned to the yoga mat with a deeper appreciation for rest, resilience, and listening to the body.

​

Stephanie completed her yoga teacher training at Moksana Yoga in Victoria, BC. Her teaching is rooted in mindfulness, nervous system awareness, and the belief that yoga is a practice of remembering rather than achieving.

As a mother of three, Stephanie’s relationship with movement has softened and matured. She is drawn to practices that honour both strength and surrender, effort and ease. Her classes create space to slow down, reconnect inward, and explore movement in ways that feel intuitive, nourishing, and sustainable.

​

Stephanie brings a warm, thoughtful presence to her teaching and is passionate about creating space for people to listen deeply to their bodies and discover what they need in each moment. She is grateful to be back on the mat and to share the practice of yoga with the Embody community.
