    Thai Yoga Practitioner/Energy Worker

    Shawntal Belgrove, 

    Shawntal is a certified Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner, 500 Hour Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Level 2 Energy Worker. Along the ten year journey that started out as Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 Shawntal came to remember that we are all here to reunite with our core, or true self, so that from this state, and place of wholeness we can shine our light authentically with love, and compassion for all. Her wish is to draw out a sense of empowerment, and enjoyment in those she works with, where, in Yoga, we move our bodies, and the energy flowing through them in a way that prepares us to sit still, meditate, and interact with the invisible all around us.
    In her spare time, Shawntal loves to travel, to engage in a variety of creative endeavours such as singing, dancing, painting, drawing, photography. As she builds on experience, and connection within the community, Shawntal has plans in the future to host some wellness retreats, and gatherings of her own in different places worldwide.
