Melissa Mcgoldrick
Melissa is a RYT (registered yoga teacher) and RPYT(registered prenatal yoga teacher) who resides in Egmondville, ON. She and her husband are raising a 6 year old sassy little man.
Melissa has always known she wanted to teach. A natural leader since she could speak, Melissa was always choreographing her cousins, friends and sister in dances on the front porch of her parents' house. When she discovered yoga, she felt a connection she never experienced before. Some may say, she found her calling.
After becoming a mother, she knew she wanted to use yoga as a tool to heal her body after pregnancy. She also knew if she needed this tool, other Momma's would too.
It is her hope that she can help women who urn to be Moms, are about to be Moms and of course are Moms find a safe place in her classes, to be themselves and connect to others just like them.
Melissa invites mothers to come to class to breathe, move or even sleep if needed.
Melissa Ostrowski
Melissa began practicing yoga on a regular basis in 2011 when she noticed anxiety creeping into her life. Yoga acted as a way to connect to the body and focus on the breath, which in turn helped her feel calm, balanced, and strong. Recognizing the power that yoga had on her personal life, Melissa wanted to share that with others, and completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training with Mothership School of Yoga, in London, ON in the spring of 2019. She also has prenatal and postpartum yoga teacher training.
As a busy mom to an almost 6 year old, a wife to a tattoo artist, working at Western, being a doula, and a maker of Malas, Melissa practices yoga to stay grounded and present. She enjoys sports, walking her dogs, trying to find a cardinal (the most beautiful bird) everyday, summer weekends at the cottage, and being part of the best book club ever!
Stop by The Yoga Den on Saturday morning, starting June 8th at 11:00am for a one hour Market Morning Flow.

Kelsi Trotter
Kelsi Trotter born and raised in Huron County, and found yoga and meditation when I was in University. My personal practice and love for yoga strengthened when I started working as a wedding coordinator, where it helped me remain calm and grounded through busy wedding seasons. After wanting to teach yoga for a few years, I found Marianne Wells Yoga School and completed my 200-hour teacher training intensive in Costa Rica. Through Marianne’s teachings I learned we must all “start from where we are”- each class accessible to all. I love teaching Hatha and restorative classes, and my morning classes will focus on waking your body up and preparing you for the day!
Kelsi will be teaching an early morning class beginning March 31. Mondays and Thursdays 7am
