All of our teachers are very well trained and bring a personalized touch to every class they teach. Our receptionists are essential to the studio experience and manage things behind the scenes. Together, we hope to share our love of yoga with everyone at the studio, and strive to ensure that all of our practitioners feel welcomed and at home with us.
Pauline has lived in Lethbridge for over 15 years. Originally from Calgary, she moved to Lethbridge to complete her BFA at the U of L. Her plan was to leave shortly after completing her degree, but opportunities continued to arise that allowed her to remain in the city. She fell in love with yoga 11 years ago – the 26&2 class kicked her butt, and she loved every minute of it. Off to training the following year, and more trainings in the years that followed.
Although Pauline can’t get most of her family members to practice yoga when they visit the city, her amazing husband, Cam, can be seen around the studio all the time, helping our team, and ready to chat with everyone he sees.
Kendall is a massage therapy student, substitute teacher, kinesiology grad and movement enthusiast. She was born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, a suburb in Toronto. She is fascinated with the human body and craves “in the flow” experiences. While playing soccer at university, she was looking for a way to loosen up tight hips and ankles, as well as prevent future injuries – that lead her to a hot room at Moksha Yoga London in 2007. It was love at first sweat!
She has trained with the Moksha/Modo International faculty and Ryan Leier and the One Yoga faculty, as well as smaller trainings with Eoin Finn of Blissology, Alan Mileham, Mark Stephens, and YogaFit International. Her studies include hatha, vinyasa, ashtanga, vinyasa krama, Iyengar, yin, myofascial yoga, prenatal, aerial, mindfulness and kid’s yoga.
Born and raised in Calgary, AB, Dianne is the youngest of 6 kids. As a little girl, she was always intrigued about what was below the surface of things and how they worked. Dianne was always a caregiver, a gift-giver, and a wandering inquisitive soul. She has always been fascinated with the body and how it functions, so naturally in her 19th plus years as a Massage Therapist, she STILL loves her job. Every chance she gets, Dianne continues with schooling, upgrading, or learning a new skill or craft to add to her working “tool belt’. She first tried yoga 20 years ago, but it wasn’t her time to fully immerse into it. She dabbled in various classes over the years, but in 2017 she felt the call to return to yoga. When she took her first 26 & 2 hot class, she was hooked! Not only did she soon realize the physical benefits but the emotional/mental benefits, as well.
She has completed a 500 hour Yoga training, Restorative, Yin and Nidra certifications, AFLCA exercise theory & group exercise . To Dianne, her experience is to be passionate about what you do and to remember to listen to your inner wisdom, as it will always lead you to amazing places.
She is passionate about writing, and loves the great outdoors – camping, all-things paddling, biking, hiking with her family and 2 pups – as well as working with her hands (renos included).
Born and raised in Lethbridge, Jen first landed on her mat almost 25 years ago and has been practicing here with the Harvest community since 2014. Sometimes more athletic and at other times a more meditative practice, yoga has been a steadying and grounding influence in her life. Her love for the practice continues to grow every year.
Julia is a hippie soul at heart, with a love for being barefoot, sitting in a sunbeam with her baby of a pitbull, and wiggling her body any way she can! She’s always been a lover of movement, whether it be yoga, dance, hiking, bouldering, biking, or simply being a monkey-wannabe. So it was only natural for her to gravitate towards Harvest Yoga Studio. You’ll see her face at the front desk to greet you, or flowing amongst the other practitioners at the studio on her off days. She loves practicing in the heat and feels this studio and its teachers are truly such a gem.
When not at the studio, you can catch Julia slinging Birria Tacos with her other half for their food truck business, or working on her art and hand poked tattooing hustle.
Hope to flow with you soon!
I was raised on a farm in Wrentham, AB. I attended university in Utah at BYU. While I was earning my bachelors degree I gained a passion for outdoor recreation. Rock climbing , mountain biking, backpacking and water sports are the things I choose to do whenever I get the chance. I have 5 awesome kids and an amazing husband. We love to go on adventures together! I started practicing yoga in April 2018. Admittedly I initially came to the studio under duress. The friends I workout with wanted to add yoga to our workout and running routine. I agreed to give yoga try after a frustrating string of fitness related injuries. I survived my first class which was 26 & 2. I was pleasantly surprised with how good I felt … after it was over. I have been coming regularly ever since. I may have started practicing yoga for the physical benefits but I was amazed at the effect it had on my mental well being. Taking time away from the stresses of my day and allowing myself some guilt free “me” time has been just the thing I needed to gain and maintain a positive outlook on life.
I’m a long-time yoga practitioner in the studio and new yoga teacher! Lover of all things nature and animal related. Advocate for self-healing and second chances. I’m a mother to an incredible young lady and three crazy cats! I have about five jobs and a passion for travel and adventure! Humour, gratitude, and a whole lot of grit fuel my motor every day!
Amanda’s path has been guided by a lifelong love of movement and a steady pull toward deeper meaning. Born in Toronto, Canada, shaped by her Sudanese heritage, and influenced by time spent living, working, and studying in places like Japan and India, she brings a thoughtful and heartfelt energy to her teaching.
Amanda has a deep reverence for the body as a place of wisdom within each of us. She has always been passionate about creating meaningful spaces — in the outer world through her background in design, and within the inner landscape through movement and stillness. Drawing from her training in Exercise Science, injury prevention, somatic awareness, and traditional Eastern martial arts, Amanda’s classes are equal parts soulful and skillful. Her style blends functional movement with meditative stillness, encouraging practitioners to move gently, breathe fully, and return to themselves.
Her Sudanese roots deepen her intuitive connection to ritual, rhythm, and resilience. She approaches teaching with the belief that the most honest practice is the one that helps us feel, not fix, and connects us home to ourselves.
Amanda teaches Restorative, Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, Yoga Nidra, and meditation, with an emphasis on accessibility, curiosity, and a tender, intelligent connection with the nervous system.
I first came to yoga for a good stretch to complement my days spent playing soccer and running. I was hooked as the practice was a perfect balance of challenge, ease and fun, which left me feeling confident and strong. Over the years my practice has ebbed and flowed with the changes in life. It has taught me patience, compassion, and awareness to myself and others. I am so grateful to have found yoga. Learning how to become aware of the nervous system, the mind, the breath and how they all connect has been fascinating. I’m a forever student who enjoys geeking out over the human body. I hope to share a little bit of what I’ve learnt mixed in with some joy for the practice.
Serena took her first 26&2 Bikram class back in 2014 here at Harvest Yoga Studio, back when it was called Hot Yoga Lethbridge. And that was it! She was instantly hooked!
Serena completed her 200HR Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in June 2024 through Agni Yoga School here in Lethbridge. In January 2025 she completed her Bikram 26&2 training and became the newest addition to the Harvest Team! When she’s not on her mat or in the studio, she’s usually with her two boys and her Coonhound. She loves being outdoors and adventuring in the mountains.
Laurie has been settled in Lethbridge for the last 23 years, however, she loves adventures that take her near and far. As a natural born nurturer to five kids, four cats, two dogs, and any other being (human or otherwise) that crosses her path, Laurie has a drive to care for others that led her to share the practice of yoga.
Laurie finds both playfulness and grounding through her yoga practice, and she strives to focus on the union of breath with movement. Her yoga journey started 8 years ago and continues to evolve through regular practice, continuous learning, and the joy of sharing this practice with others.
I’m fairly new to yoga practise at Harvest, but one of my favorite parts of working at here is getting to try all the different classes and building a good routine (and of course meeting all the amazing people who come through the door!). I first started yoga for the movement, but I’ve grown to love the stillness just as much. When I’m not at the studio, you’ll find me spending time with my three awesome big kids or walking the dog with my partner. I’m also a big fan of slow mornings, a good cup of coffee, and getting lost in a great book.
Natasia grew up in Lethbridge and has been stationed here ever since. With dance being a central part of her life for over 20 years, the transition into yoga just made sense.
As Natasia’s passion for yoga grew, she completed the 200HR Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in June 2022, through Agni Yoga School right here in Lethbridge. After taking a brief pause in her practice to raise her beautiful daughter, she is back on her mat with renewed purpose. As an empath at heart, she hopes to bring kindness and peace to your experience at Harvest. You will find her smiling face greeting you at the front desk and flowing with you in the studio.
‘Yoga is a light which once lit will never dim, the better your practice the brighter your flame.’

Annie teaches yoga that is equal parts heart, sweat, and curiosity, which is, ironically, a mirror of her life outside of yoga as well. Annie is a jack-of-all-trades and comes from a background in design and business – having studied Graphic Design in Vancouver and Business at Lethbridge Polytechnic. But, during her journey through recovery, Annie discovered the world of yoga with all of its subtleties and nuance. It drew her in and she began to practice and study daily. After years of home practice, Annie gathered her courage and walked into her first studio class, and the rest is history. She first became certified in Usui Reiki Levels 1 & 2. She then completed her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Certification. Shortly after, she began teaching a free class in the park at sunset, which became the catalyst for her foray into the wellness business. Anarki Healing & Yoga was born. Annie is also passionate about teaching Vinyasa, Yin, Nidra, and Chair styles of yoga.
At the studio, she can be found sweating it out with the rest of the class teaching and practicing 26&2. Did she lay down on her mat through 65% of her first hot yoga class? Yes. Did she vow to never go back? Also, yes. But, it was too late, the 26&2 bug had already bit her. She blends her knowledge of 26&2 and yogic philosophy into a somatic exploration where you can challenge your body, explore your edge, and still have fun doing it.
Outside the studio, she loves to spend time in the kitchen cooking, baking, preserving, mixing up tinctures and teas. Annie is also an avid crocheter, reader, and writer. She enjoys hanging with her cat and wandering in nature…and bookstores…and craft stores — and she brings that same playful, grounded energy to her teaching. Annie believes yoga is about more than the poses: it’s about cultivating quiet strength, finding joy in the process, and showing up for yourself, both on the mat and in life.
