Welcome to Haum Studios, where the focus is on helping you find a sense of belonging.
Led by me, Aurora, a YOGAMU-trained instructor living in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, for nearly 10 years, we offer more than just yoga—it’s about creating a space where you can feel comfortable, understood, and at ease within yourself.
​
From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the movement of the body. I was a dedicated participant in various gyms and boot camp classes, driven by my love for activity, intensity, and weightlifting. You’ll often find me exploring trails and immersing myself in the natural beauty that Nova Scotia has generously offered me.
​
I have practiced yoga for 12 years, exploring many paths such as Vinyasa, Hatha, Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation, Yin, and Ashtanga. My love for Ashtanga blossomed after my first class in beautiful Grand Desert, Nova Scotia, which became a foundational aspect of my journey.
​​
I bring yoga into my daily life down by the Atlantic Ocean with the simple intention of connecting with others in meaningful ways amidst the roar of the waves. My approach is warm and genuine. With a natural gift for making others feel seen and cared for, I strive to create a welcoming environment, no matter where you are on your journey. My empathy and openness ensure that you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
​
I am deeply inspired by my teachers—Vikash, Ajay, Tamlyn, Nikolai, Pattabhi Jois, and Adriene Mishler. Additionally, figures like the Dalai Lama, Baba Ram Dass, Desmond Tutu, Bob Marley, Joe Black, and Hayao Miyazaki have influenced my practice and philosophy. These inspirations have helped me cultivate a dedicated and challenging yoga practice, allowing me to deepen, explore, and play as I discover what yoga means to me.
​
In 2022, I took the leap to become a yoga teacher. Joining YOGAMU has been a profound blessing, helping me realize that my true happiness lies in yoga—teaching and sharing the practice with others. After receiving my certification in early 2023, I delved into meditation and quickly became certified in breathwork. I now teach the beautiful souls journeying through White Point, Nova Scotia, while continuing my studies to become a Yoga Therapist through YOGAMU, with the goal of providing an even deeper, more personal yoga experience.
​
At the core of yoga is unity, derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj," which means "to yoke." In the West, it may be challenging to find a yoke (unless you happen to visit my parents and glance at the one above their dining room table), but without it, today wouldn’t exist. Farmers would use a yoke to pair a mature ox with a younger one, allowing the younger ox to gain experience and create a more stable future. How fitting! Together, we can cultivate a more stable foundation for tomorrow. Each movement, moment, and breath brings us closer to our true selves. <3

Whether you’re attending a yoga retreat or joining a class at White Point Beach Resort, Canada’s Favorite Oceanfront Resort, you’ll find that Haum Studios isn’t about perfection—it’s about community, presence, and the peaceful feeling of knowing you’re exactly where you need to be. So join us and meet yourself where you are.
​
Thank you to everyone who has joined me in practice over the past few years. It has been a gift to flow, breathe, and be with you.

Much love,
Aurora <3
