Whitney Lord
Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher
About
Whitney Lord, M.S., is a former D1 athlete enamored with the strength and stability yoga has brought to her life. Her teaching is inspired by years of athletic activity and is informed by the patterns of injuries experienced while dancing, running, and swimming. And, most importantly, as a mom, she is all about finding physical and life balance!
Her biggest life lesson was as a NCAA Division I Athlete. Whitney's life revolved around her running, so in fourth year when she found herself no longer able to run she turned to yoga. Yoga was the only place she felt safe, and removed from her competitive lifestyle. After two years of rehabilitation she finally understood that running was no longer an option. Rehabilitation hours turned into yoga hours, and teaching became a weekly occurrence.
Fast forward to today, after living in the USA for 10 years, Whitney returned to her home city, Waterloo, ON, Canada. After teaching a variety of yoga styles for over a decade she returned to Iyengar Yoga teacher training at Yoga Centre Toronto under Senior teacher Marlene Mawhinney in 2015. Whitney has completed a three year teacher training school at Yoga Centre Toronto and successfully passed her International Assessment in November 2018. Whitney continues to study and practice with Senior teachers, and holds a Level 1 certification.

"What I like about Iyengar yoga is that it is precise and detailed. Getting into a pose is a series of multiple steps and micro adjustments resulting in strong, whole body engagement. For me, this is real yoga."
