Testimonials
Our Studio
We’ve put a lot of love and care into making this space worthy of our students, so that it can reflect the intention they bring to our classes. Our space is special to us and we consider our studio to be a very important part of our yoga and wellness offerings. We also follow current government Covid-19 protocols by cleaning the entire studio after every class.


My Lifeline
“Just as Covid reared its ugly head, Tracy Murdoch and Alexandra Nedergaard opened their new Yoga Studio in Blockhouse N.S conveniently located at an intersection just outside Mahone Bay. Their heart and dedicated professional approach to each of the practices carried us, their yogis, through the dark days of our harsh Covid winter. They began zoom online classes and gave us the opportunity to maintain our practice as well as keeping in touch with our Yoga community
I encourage you to check their studio out. There are many different classes that would appeal to any age and physical ability. They have been my lifeline and I owe them both my heartfelt gratitude!
