She is trained in Modo and Restorative yoga. Her passion is her family, the outdoors and of course yoga. Once nick-named the “gentle commander”, Felicia is an encouraging and compassionate teacher. She believes that the practice of yoga is within everyone. For some it is more easily accessible and others must dig deeper to find it. Felicia was relatively new to yoga when she discovered the Uptown studio. It was within the “warm” Modo community that she realized the true healing power of yoga. Her focus was redirected from the physical realm to the amazing effects of the mind/body connection and beyond. She is most grateful for the unexpected growth and limitless strength she has experienced as a student and as a teacher. Each student comes to class for different reasons. Felicia endeavours to be sensitive to individual needs and to gently guide students to a place that feels right for them. Along that path she believes the most effective guide is the smile. https://www.bluecanoeyoga.com/our-team/shuna-heeney monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6648f881417e432484ecaca0/1716215616823-TS5L6ILOSBNIT787SYNO/Shuna+Heeney+Square.jpeg Our Team - Shuna Heeney ~ General Manager - Manager / Teacher Shuna has been practicing yoga for more than 35 years.

Although I (obviously) love fitness and moving my body – enough to make it my life’s work- this wasn’t always the case.

After two decades of stepping on and off the mat, Brendan is grateful for all the teachers that have helped guide him to a stronger and more flexible mind and body. While his teaching practice is rooted in the physical, Brendan aspires to share the same compassion and understanding that has been demonstrated to him over the years.

After many years travelling and living abroad, Cara returned to her hometown of Toronto in 2014. The adjustment to such a big move was lessened by her commitment to her practice and the maintenance of that grounding centring presence in her life. Nowadays she chooses to help others find that same calm in the storm through their own yoga path.

In 2013, she became a certified Modo teacher and since that time, she has continued her studies, attaining certification in Modo flow, Vinyasa, Senior’s yoga and Yin.

As a young gymnast she learned that the body can be injured in various ways and that you must take care of it in order for it to function optimally. This fascination with the physical body lead her too seek out as much knowledge has she could from her academic studies. Hayley started practicing yoga while attending Queen’s university and it clarified for her that health is multi-dimensional; she loved that she felt refreshed and free from the inside out after a yoga practice. Yoga turned out to be a huge transforming and informative force in her life. It was a key element in guiding her into the chiropractic profession, where today she is in her clinic year at CMCC. Yoga has taught Hayley that you always have more freedom than you think, that your intention is sometimes more important than your action, and that you should work at planting positive seeds of thought with everything you do. https://www.bluecanoeyoga.com/our-team/jeanette-annecchini monthly 0.5 2025-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6648f881417e432484ecaca0/592856ca-44d6-488a-bf87-d0846899291e/Jin+Square+Headshot.png Our Team - Jeanette (Jin) Annecchini - Reiki Practitioner Jeanette (Jin) specializes in Usui Holy Fire Reiki, a practice rooted in Japanese tradition that channels universal life force energy to promote relaxation, balance, and natural healing.

Over the years Sarah has continued her Yoga education by completing a Pre + Post Natal certification at Esther Myers Yoga Studio and a Kids Yoga certification with Bee Birch Yoga Therapy. Sarah has a dynamic approach to teaching Yoga as she wants her students to feel comfortable and confident on their mats. Her classes are often met with laughter and fun. 

 Sarah’s mantra is “Keep Calm And Yoga On,” and this mentality positively impacts her own experience whether she is teaching and/or taking Yoga classes, and certainly helpful while she maneuvers life at home with her three young children. https://www.bluecanoeyoga.com/our-team/shane-philips monthly 0.5 2024-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6648f881417e432484ecaca0/1716215156355-DKTB5FFOKLBHXHQKSGHL/Shane+Philips+-+Headshot+Square.jpg Our Team - Shane Philips - Teacher Shane Philips, a student at The Chandra Pillil School of Yoga in India, studied signing, dance, reiki, and yoga as a unifying practice under both his parents. From Fergus, Ontario, he trained for years in Italian Opera and earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do by the age of 13. Shane is a former social worker with homeless youth in Guelph and New York City who combines his diverse life experience with teaching yoga. For the past 10 years Shane has taught in India, Thailand, Mexico, and with over 10,000 hours of training from age 11, he now teaches mindfulness and yoga to kids in the Toronto District School Board and adults at Modo Yoga Toronto. https://www.bluecanoeyoga.com/our-team/yara-elarabi monthly 0.5 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6648f881417e432484ecaca0/105843d9-4dc9-4eb5-8441-c1928ff7158f/Yara+Elarabi+Square.jpg Our Team - Yara Elarabi - Teacher Growing up, I have always longed for a deeper connection to myself and the world around me. I was always captivated by movement, as it allowed me to explore this union between my body, mind and soul. I discovered yoga in my teen years, but it wasn’t until my early 20s that I started to dive deeper into my yoga practice. Yoga has provided me with the connection that I have always longed for. I was able to tap into my divine power, while also connecting to others and the world around me. Yoga has provided me with the space to heal and love myself, and I wanted to share this powerful practice with others. I began my teaching journey in 2014. I completed the Modo Level 1, Modo flow, Yin, and Prana Vinyasa training with Shiva Rea. My classes are usually inspired by my Ashtanga and Prana Vinyasa practices. I love teaching yoga and I always aspire to unlock my students' full potential, both physically and mentally. https://www.bluecanoeyoga.com/our-team/yasmine-khalaj monthly 0.5 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6648f881417e432484ecaca0/3cfb42fd-596c-4066-9888-3abda9b9065a/Yasmine+Khalaj+.png Our Team - Yasmine (Yaz) Khalaj - Teacher Yaz is a strength-based Pilates instructor with a foundation in kinesiology and athletic training.
