✨Teacher Feature: Maddy Andersen (she/her)

✨On Maddy’s teaching journey: I moved to NS from AB a couple of years ago, and found my community at the studio. I felt this pull to complete my teacher training, without any expectations or knowing where it would lead. I never expected to step into a teaching role in the movement space, and now I feel very at home here. The Practice has given me the opportunity to create a space where people can show up just as they are, be curious, and consider the possibility that they are capable of more.

✨One thing they couldn’t live without: My dog and two cats 🙂

✨Their favourite class to teach: The Practice! I love how intuitive this class is and encourages you out of the mind and into the body. Music is such a powerful tool in movement, and being able to share the music I love in this space feels really special. Join me on Sundays, The Practice at 10:00am and The Flow at 11:00am.

The Practice exists because of women who show up with heart.

Laura and Amy, our visionary co-founders, our thoughtful and dedicated teachers, our supportive community members, and the incredible Energy Exchange team working quietly behind the scenes – each bringing care, warmth, and presence to this space.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping create a place where people can move, breathe, and find stillness together. We’re all in it together.

Happy International Women’s Day. ✨

✨Teacher Feature: Debra Wells-Hopey (she/her)

✨On Debra’s teaching journey: It wasn’t until I joined The Practice that I integrated movement fully into my life. A few years after becoming a “regular,” I was inspired to do the Movement Teacher Training. Not only does this fulfill my own physical needs (as a gal in her mid 50s, motion truly IS lotion!) it enhances my work life as well. As the programs manager for Eating Disorders Nova Scotia, many folks I work with have found yoga to be helpful in their recovery journey. I feel so honoured to practice with both my studio and my eating disorder recovery communities.

✨One thing they couldn’t live without: Thrifting! I have a passion for vintage and preloved clothing. The thrill of the hunt is real! A close second is my Spotify account. My playlists are obsessively curated! If you like both Dolly Parton and Eminem, you’ll get it.

✨Her favourite class to teach: It’s a toss up! The Practice is cathartic and allows us to get comfortable with discomfort. But I also love The Presence, where we take our time exploring poses and release some sticky spots. The Vitality offers strength and functionality...I really love them all, it’s really the people in the room that make each class a banger!

A recent graduate of our MTT program and long-time beloved member, show Deb some love in the comments. 🤍

You don’t need more motivation. You need support you can return to.

A membership at The Practice is a steady place to land – movement when you need it, stillness when you don’t, and people who know your name.

Classes. Workshops. Member-only experiences. A space that meets you where you are.
