Jil Forbes
Jil started her yoga journey in 2008 as a means to escape the monotony of her previous career. She immediately became enamoured with the challenge of the practice and the opportunity to expand her being.
As a registered massage therapist, she began to prescribe yoga as exercise and soon went on to complete the 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher training in Bali under Meghan Currie. Shortly after, she completed her Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Certification to further expand her exercise knowledge to the pre and post natal demographics.
Jil currently teaches vinyasa flow yoga at Yoga Now Kamloops, and practices Massage Therapy from her three locations in Kamloops at Dimensional Massage Therapy and Wellness. Jil has a love for human anatomy, biomechanics, physiology and injury rehabilitation through patient empowerment and exercise prescription of yoga and breath work.
Her yoga classes are playful and encouraging to explore new possibilities and sensations. She is so ecstatic to take this plunge with you!
Lacey Hook
Lacey fell in love with yoga instantly. Within a few months of starting her own yoga practice, she was signed up for a 200HR hot yoga teacher training in Thailand. Once she started to scratch the surface of studying yoga, she taught as many classes as she could and signed up for workshops, specialty classes and trainings to immerse herself.
Since that first training, she has completed multiple restorative, vinyasa, philosophy and prenatal yoga trainings. She has completed over 500 hours of training and continues her education regularly.
Along with studying yoga, she has studied fitness, personal training and barre.
Lacey started dreaming of opening a yoga studio in 2017 during her pregnancy. After delivering her daughter, she then shifted her focus to her new baby and being a first time mom. When the time felt right, she opened Yoga Now Kamloops.
She is passionate about creating a space for people to feel safe and welcome. She wants anyone looking for a non-judgemental community to feel at home in this studio. One of her most favourite parts of teaching public classes is connecting with people, creating friendships and having a loving and supportive network of like-minded people.
She cannot wait to dive into this training with you!
There's so much to learn within the realm of yoga and this is the perfect opportunity to delve deeper! As trainees navigate through the training, they are provided with ample support and guidance. We care about the journey of each person who trains with us and are excited to encourage them after they have achieved their certification and enter the new territory of teaching (if that’s what they choose to do). The community at Yoga Now Kamloops will be rooting them on & welcoming them as new teachers.
Are you ready to take the leap and dive deeper into the rich practice of yoga with Jil and Lacey? We can't wait to embark upon this lifechanging journey with you.
