I'm Gail Holness
I'm the owner of Holness Yoga. I began living my dream of teaching yoga in Haliburton County back in 2003. Like many people, I came to yoga for health reasons. I was in my thirties and living in the city. I owned a restaurant, I was a single mom and I was living with so much stress it was literally making me sick. It was a chiropractor/friend who suggested we take a yoga class together. I was skeptical about its value, but by the end of my first 8-yoga session, I was hooked - I was getting better! I was getting happier!
It's not that life got easier or that stress disappeared. What changed was my relationship with stress and yoga was the catalyst for that change.
​
Life is wonderful and difficult at the same time learning how to stay present in the moment is key to experiencing more "wonderful". When the hard stuff happens being in the present moment makes the "difficult" easier to deal with. We make the best choices when we are present.
Me & Audrey
Audrey is the owner of Audrey's Aquatic Therapy & Rehabilitation and the new Canadian Chair at the International Aquatic Therapy Faculty. She manifested her dream and built a private therapeutic saltwater pool so that she could better serve her clients. It is through Audrey that I am able to offer my Aqua Yoga Classes. Together we combine our passions and expertise to create a one-of-a-kind aquatic yoga experience. The goal - improve the quality of your life!
I bring decades of teaching yoga, mindfulness, and Pilates, and Audrey mentors me in how to use the powerful forces of buoyancy and play to regain range of motion in your joints, challenge your balance, strengthen your core, and lift your spirit. My Aqua Yoga Classes are seriously beneficial allowing people who suffer from joint pain and restriction to enjoy moving their bodies in ways they never thought possible. I am very proud to be part of her dream!

LOCATIONS
The Minden Community Centre
Yoga Classes
I am proud to be a partner with our newly renovated community center. Not only does it offer a regulation-size rink, it also offers a walking track, weight room, and basketball/pickleball court. I teach in the original part of the community center. It's clean, with easy access - no stairs. It has a new heating and cooling system to keep us comfortable as well as ample parking.

ZOOM - Online Yoga Classes
When COVID shut down our community center I turned to Zoom so I could offer online classes. For two years online classes kept us connected and calm.
While some people opted to return to live classes others preferred the convenience of online classes. My online classes are enjoyed across Canada, and into the USA. They have been to Jamaica, Costa Rica, and even parts of Europe.
