Suzanne Moordhead
In 2006, Suzanne completed her 200-hour training as a Hatha yoga teacher. Since then, she has followed training in Yin yoga, regenerating yoga (or restorative yoga) and yoga Nidra. She has taught at Relais Yoga since its creation in the fall of 2007. Each teacher has her “colors” or her affinities and sources of inspiration. Suzanne's are nature, gentleness and calm, including the silences that feel good. Yoga Nidra, also called meditative sleep yoga, which provides great relaxation for the body and mind, is always offered during Suzanne's classes. Occasionally, she also guides contemplative walks around the Relais Plein Air. The yoga that Suzanne shares is one of discovering well-being and self-compassion.
Mimy Nguyen
Occupational therapist by profession and mother of 2 children, it was during my first pregnancy that I discovered yoga and I literally fell in love. Yoga has profoundly changed
my perception of life and helped me connect to my deep essence and find
balance and health. After a regular practice for more than 10 years where I discovered its philosophy and its many benefits, it was in 2022 that I decided to take the leap and complete my 200-hour yoga teacher training in Hatha and Vinyasa. My work as an occupational therapist with children inspired me to also complete training to teach yoga to children. I like to adapt my teaching according to the needs of my clients and
Since then, I have been teaching yoga for all ages. My approach to movement is accessible,
safe and promotes a space to establish oneself and settle into the present moment. Breathing and feeling are at the heart of my teachings. I am a caring, gentle and enthusiastic yoga teacher. I invite you to shine with me. Namasté!
Carole Ann Bilodeau

She learned through her practice how to adapt postures to her body using blocks, straps and bolsters.
