Lana Douglas
STOTT PILATES Mat Instructor
Lana has always been an avid fitness enthusiast. After several years of physically demanding careers and activities (long distance running, weight training, kayaking, and golfing), Lana found herself with some debilitating back issues in 2019.
After being diagnosed with herniated and bulging discs in her lumbar spine, Lana commenced decompression and physio therapies, both of which were effective and informative. It was then that Lana learned that the Pilates repertoire offered some immensely helpful exercises for her condition.
Lana took her first Pilates class just over a year ago and was so impressed by the rehabilitative effects of it, that she quickly decided to pursue becoming a Certified STOTT PILATES Instructor.
Lana recently completed the Intensive Mat-Plus Certification Program hosted by Living Well Movement Centre, she looks forward to completing Intensive Reformer in 2021.
Lana wholeheartedly believes in the numerous benefits of a regular Pilates practice and is thrilled to be a part of the Living Well Movement Team!

Tricia Summersby |
Certified Yoga Teacher
|
Tricia has been practicing yoga for over 28 years. "I was initially drawn to yoga like so many other people, to become more flexible, manage stress and to stretch out sore muscles from working out at the gym and being active. My yoga practice has adapted and changed along with me as I have aged. Yoga has helped me cope with emotional and physical changes and has made me more present and calm. It feeds and replenishes my mind, body and spirit and I became a teacher to help others".
Tricia has completed certifications to teach Yoga, Yin Yoga & Restorative Yoga and has trained with inspirational teachers such as Travis Elliot, Lauren Eckstrom, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman-Yee, Rod Stryker, Ashley Turner, Diane Bruni, Seane Corn, Leslie Kaminoff & Natasha Rizopoulos. “It does not matter whether you have done yoga before or not, just come as you are, it is never too late to start or re-start”. |
