Who We Are

Kristin and Myriam

Kristin Honey and Myriam Khouzam

Collectively, we bring over 30 years of yoga practice, 23 years of meditation practice and over 18 years of teaching. With similar yoga backgrounds and philosophies, we both continue to deepen our understanding and experience by studying with accomplished yoga teachers.

We each bring to Sukha well over 1000 hours of yoga training including pre and post natal and restorative. Through this and our experience as shiatsu and thai massage practitioners, we share a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology enhancing our skills in teaching those with injuries or health concerns.

We are excited to finally live in the same city and to build the sukha yoga community together.

Laura discovered and fell in love with yoga in 2004 when she moved to Toronto to pursue her passion to study naturopathic medicine.  Observing how a daily yoga practice transformed her life, she was inspired to complete her first 500 hour yoga training in 2007. Laura is grateful to all of her teachers and inspirations.  Her intention as a yoga instructor and naturopathic doctor is to encourage an understanding of the connection between mind, body and spirit in each of us.  Laura teaches an inviting, energetic and creative style of vinyasa yoga, and infuses each class with her knowledge of the body and her joy of life.
