Stacey Pembleton
Certified Yoga Teacher & Owner of Calm the Soul Yoga
Hello and welcome to Calm the Soul Yoga & Wellness Studio.
Yoga means 'union' between the body, mind and soul and I believe every experience is a chance to turn inwards and learn something new.
I embrace this message in each one of my classes as well as in my own practice.
My training not only taught me how to effectively and safely teach yoga postures, breathing and meditation techniques... it was also a journey of self-discovery and self-exploration that cemented my love of yoga.
I have been practicing yoga for more than 18 years, successfully completing my Yoga Teacher training in June of 2010, at the Lotus Centre in London, Ontario.
I am a Certified Yoga Teacher, with specializations in Children's Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga and I am registered with the Canadian Yoga Alliance.
I look forward to welcoming you to our studio and sharing my passion of yoga.

“I've been lucky enough to practice yoga in many places throughout the world,
but nowhere feels like home like Stacey's studio.
She has a voice and a calming presence that's so unique and relaxing,
I feel like I sink into my practice here like no other place I've experienced.”

Rhonda Smart
Certified Yoga Teacher
My yoga journey began over 20 years ago.
After having my 2nd child I experienced postpartum depression, yoga was my saving grace.
I completed my 200 hr RYT training in 2014 and I've had the privilege of sharing my love of yoga ever since.
My training includes vinyasa, yin, restorative and hatha.
My experience includes teaching in hot rooms, college wellness centres, on the beach,
horse farms, hockey arenas, school gymnasiums, rehabilitation centres and corporate classes.
Yoga is for everyone, and I look forward to guiding you through your practice.
~ Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind,
and the harmony of the soul, creates the symphony of life ~

Jami Vandermeersch
Certified Yoga Teacher
My yoga practice began over 15 years ago while working and living at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta.
I am grateful to have called Banff home for most of my 20's and was immersed in an extremely diverse yoga community during this time.
I traveled to Bali in 2014 to take my 200hr vinyasa teacher training as part of an intensive month long experience,
and I have since completed my certification in yin as well.
Over the last 15 years yoga has expanded from a physical practice to becoming a toolbox of resources available
to help navigate my mind and soul through any challenge I'm faced with.
With so much constant change and advancement in the world around us -
Yoga is the anchor that brings me back home and reconnects me with my souls true north.
As my practice has evolved and I've grown as a student, it became clear my next steps were to share with those around me.
I look forward to creating space with you to grow and thank you for your willingness to show up in this adventure together.
