Meet your teachers: Judie and Mercedes!

About Judie

Judie has been a Steveston resident since 2013. She started practicing yoga 30 years ago. 

Judie is a trained acupressurist  who believes that both physical and emotional healing and growth occur when we bring awareness, movement, space and breath to all parts of our bodies. She is also a writer and editor in her spare time. 

Judie is a longtime runner, hiker, former lifeguard/swim and water fit instructor, passionate snowboarder, commuter cyclist and former rock climbing addict. 

You may also see her in local parks racing across monkey bars, hanging upside down and cartwheeling. She is passionate about her family, the environment, animal welfare, healthy living and her community.  

Yoga helps her connect with my inner strength and shine my light brighter.
