• YOGA:
  Grace Dubery first discovered yoga in 2002 while studying in Montreal. The challenging Ashtanga classes she first took up kept her coming back for more. There was nothing better than the sense of calm and peace she would achieve in her everyday practice. She also found a greater capacity for concentration and dedication for her school work, granted by an overall yogic inspiration. Upon returning to Toronto she kept practicing for the years ahead until finally advised to pursue her teacher training. Her classes are vigorous, yet relaxing and always invite variation and pursuit of knowledge. There is a calming quality to them, which is led by a gentle hands-on approach. Grace believes the pursuit of a deeper yoga practice is the basis for the ultimate search and attainment of self-knowledge. This is the challenging goal she encourages all to explore in a safe environment she provides for her students at Tula Yoga Studios.
