Yoga with nita
Our yoga classes are rooted in Hatha yoga—focusing on uniting mind, body, and breath to cultivate balance, strength, flexibility, and vitality.
Some sessions are more yang (dynamic flows, with active muscle engagement).
Some are more yin (long-held, passive postures to nurture the deep connective tissues) or restorative (centered on full relaxation and comfort).
And others are a unique mix!

“Thanks to Nita’s sessions, I have found peace and quiet, but also challenge and excitement about feeling my whole body awaken.
I have done some needed reflection and shed a few tears. She makes me want to explore new things that are good for my body and soul.”

“My mind is like a browser with a thousand tabs open at once, so I have a hard time staying still during yin yoga.
However, Nita's thorough guidance and curated playlists help me redirect my focus and return to the practice again and again. Her sessions have taught me to step outside of my comfort zone and do something for myself, even when it's challenging.”
- Marisela Delgado,
Producer
Meet your guide…
I’m Mariana (AKA Nita), Venezuelan, storyteller, tired mama, and certified yoga teacher.
Yoga has been part of my life since high school, but I fell in love with teaching during my 50-hour Yin YTT. That experience led me to complete my 200-hour YTT, confirming that this practice is my homecoming.
Movement, breath, and mindfulness have been a lifeline since I moved to Canada—and now I’m devoted to bringing them into the community.
My teaching style is slow and mindful, focused on awareness, agency, and listening to the body first. I see cues as invitations, not instructions. I acknowledge the mind is often loud and distracting, and that stillness, although it’s medicine, can also be quite challenging—but that’s why we practice.
You belong here 💜.
FAQs
-
Classes are designed for everyone, regardless of their yoga experience. Whether you're an experienced, intermediate, or beginner practitioner, I'll provide variations and prop suggestions to make the poses accessible.
Listen to your body first. If any pose doesn't feel right, you can always modify or skip it. If you're pregnant, be mindful not to go as deep and avoid long holds in yin yoga classes.
