Mama, co-founder and CEO of Balu Yoga & Wellness. Noelle is an unwavering optimist and humble warrior of the human spirit, deeply committed to supporting other students through the mess of being human.

Balu Yoga & Wellness was birthed as a place of refuge, learning, and community. Built for those who are interested in yoga, growth, and the mystical elements of this human experience. Using small forms of philanthropist has been a driving force behind the studio and her teaching.

She did her first 200hr Teacher Traning with Ally Bogard & Karuna Erickson in 2009 and since then completed a 300hr training in 2012. She’s also trained in Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Yoga Therapeutics, and advaced Yoga Alignment with Eion Finn.

Since 2018 she’s been engulphed in the Numa Breathwork lineage, and completed her Numa Breathwork Level 4 Training. Somatics & Trauma Training and Phychotherapeutics Training. All under the umbrella of one of her mentors Trevor Yelich.

She is also trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) level 1, which she completed in March of 2024 with the IFS Institute.

Noelle’s life journey has given her the experiences that lead her into searching for something to help ground and keep her in the present. That’s when the practice of yoga became a  part of her life in 2002.

Her teachings are influenced by several traditions including hatha, anusara and early introductions to ashtanga yoga. She also weaves in the mystical and magical parts of the subtle realms in her practice and teachings. Her classes are full of life, soul & the endless inspirations that this wild human experience provides. She will challenge you in mind and body while artfully guiding movements that inspire inner connection. 

Yoga has been pivotal in her healing process through chronic back-pain, while her yoga practice has taught her how to calm her mind and connect spiritually with mind, body & soul.  Noelle feels great connection to and honours her teachers, Karuna Erickson, Ally Bogard, Tanis Fisher, Celeste Needham, Trevor Yelich, Clara Roberts-Oss, and Paul Erickson and to all their teachers before them.

Noelle also offers one-on-one and private group breathwork journeys, phychotherapeutics, counsel and retreats and trainings both locally and globally.
