Meet all those who bring passion to The Space

Erika's interest in yoga and meditation began at an early age when she used to make her friends sit and meditate while listening to the sounds of Enigma!  
​
Her formal studies began in 2004 with Alan Finger and the 200hr ISHTA Yoga Teacher Training program in New York.  Upon completion of this program she began teaching on a regular basis for Elements Yoga and Wellness Centre in Darien, CT.  Erika managed the studio during her 5 years with the Elements Yoga family. She had the amazing opportunity to deepen her yoga studies when she completed 308hrs with Ross Rayburn and Bernadette Birney in Anusara Yoga.
​
In 2009 Erika arrived on Prince Edward Island where she assisted Dynamic Fitness in launching their Hot Yoga division.  She was invited on as Lead Trainer with Maritime Yoga College and has been instructing aspiring yoga instructors since 2013. In 2018, for the first time, Erika ventured out on her own to develop 3eYoga: Engage, Enliven, Empower.  Through this independent yoga venture she has been able to share her teachings throughout various studios across the island. 

She is very excited to launch The Space at Blackbush, a movement studio for the community of Grand Tracadie and guests of the Hotel Acadia.
​
Her mission as a yoga instructor is to inspire new "a-ha" moments for the seasoned practitioner and crush any misconceptions a new yoga student might have about yoga being "boring"!

Before moving to PEI in 2015, Ouma was inducted as a Meditator Facilitator by Lama Catherine Rathburn in Toronto. She is a long time practitioner of Vajrayana and Vipassana meditation, after initiation in India, England and Canada. She is a Sanskrit tutor and a lifelong student of Vedic traditions and Advaita philosophy. She teaches yoga at the Charlottetown Yoga Space and UPEI.

Jocelyn has been a movement enthusiast since the early days of her youth and found her yoga practice just prior to beginning post secondary education in kinesiology and pharmacy.  Yoga became Jocelyn’s primary movement practice as it helped to increase strength, flexibility and agility while simultaneously contributing to her mental well-being.

Jocelyn completed her 200 hour YTT in 2019 following moving to the island from Saskatchewan through physical therapist Lara Heimann and the LYT Method. LYT is a modern method of movement that is based on the principles of physiology, kinesiology and neurology that aids in creating efficient movement patterns. After having her children, this core based movement practice has been ever more important in finding her centre both on and off the mat.

Jocelyn is happy and excited to find her home at The Space Movement Studio to teach this challenging and rewarding movement practice to others.

Camillea was born and raised on PEI. She grew up in Souris, moved to Montague at an early age - so all of Kings County feels like home!

She's had a passion for helping others and healing, since a young age. She completed Medical Administrative Assistant Program with Eastern College in 2012 & Practical Nursing Program with Holland College in 2019. She's worked with Health PEI since graduation in long-term care as an LPN.

She's had a love for yoga, Reiki & many other healing modalities for a number of years. She's enjoyed being a participant but has now become certified in a few modalities & so excited to offer classes/appointments!! She also loves to attend classes at Aerial Warehouse in Charlottetown. Aerial silks, pole fitness & hoop class are a few of the amazing things she loves to attend!!

She is so proud of her certifications, which are: 

• 200H RYT through the wonderful My Vinyasa Practice (March 2024), registered with Yoga Alliance. 

• Reiki Master (Level I & II in May 2023 & Master in November 2023)

• Access Consciousness Bars®️ Practitioner (July 2023) 

• Access Energetic Facelift®️ Practitioner (May 2024) - all obtained with the beautiful Sarah Carpenter of Heart Centered Healing, with the exception of the Facelift course - the talented Kim Coleman from Nova Scotia facilitated that wonderful course. Camillea is currently working on a Hot Stone Therapy Course for Reiki through Canadian School for Naturotherapies and Spiritual Development, so exciting!​​

 
Camillea began her life changing business, Earthly Haven Holistic Healing in July 2023 and has never felt so alginated in her life. She continues to work part-time as an LPN while working on building her practice, hoping to one day be focused fully on her business. Now that she's found her calling, there's no slowing her down!

The styles you can expect from Camillea will be Yin/Gentle, Hatha, Restorative and additional Reiki at times. She's very go-with-the-flow, this is a beautiful environment for a beginner yogi.

Camillea really looks forward to getting on the mat with you, helping you release some tension & relaxing.
