"I was very lucky to practise yoga at Tina's studio in Caledonia for 3 years.  Every class was unique and challenging as Tina put a lot of time and care into planning each session.  Her studio space was lovely with a variety of props to support our practice. I would highly recommend Tina to anyone who has the opportunity to join her classes. As a registered physiotherapist with a pelvic health and yoga background, I am so grateful to have found a passionate teacher who prioritizes safety. Every one of Tina's classes is thoughtful, intentional and reflective of her vibrant personality. She is constantly learning but grounds her knowledge in life experience to make each session a truly memorable gift.  I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to practice with such a compassionate guide."

"Tina Marshall - where do I begin? I had the pleasure of meeting her years before she opened her studio. She was smart, funny, welcoming and charming as a person. These qualities plus so many more make her classes fun, easy to follow, educational, timely and relevant..  I am almost a senior who is sadly uncoordinated, never played sports in my life, and was afraid that yoga would highlight all of these faults. Tina welcomed me with open arms and through her gentle spirit, she guided and mentored me into a yogi who is now committed to yoga for life!

She puts her heart and soul into preparation for every class.  She has a sixth sense and always offers positions, intentions for our practice or inspirational quotes that are useful and meaningful to each of her students.  Times are strange but she has "zoomed" her way back to those of us who were her loyal yogis here in Caledonia. This new format can be challenging but Tina makes it work with her endless patience, constant educational upgrading and her amazing sense of humour! I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone no matter their health status, physical limitations or self doubt! She is a blessing to all those who are fortunate enough to be a part of her world!"

"Tina is a gifted yoga teacher.  The time and attention she spends planning and developing each class is second to none.  Her classes are challenging, inclusive, thoughtful, motivating and authentic and are always just what I need to help me find my balance. Whether in the studio or online via zoom, Tina is able to reach each of her students in a genuine way to help guide us into a pose, lead us through a breathing technique or allow us to listen to our bodies and do what we need in our own unique ways. Simply put, Tina at Lighthouse Loft is amazing and whether you attend in person or online, you will absolutely not be disappointed."

"Lighthouse Loft is soothing for my soul. Tina is organic, a self proclaimed hippie and tree hugger. Nature is so often brought into the themes and a full moon is never ignored. She is knowledgeable, quick to offer alternative positions or how to adjust props, if one doesn't work for your body, no judgement. Aside from the well planned classes which include readings of inspiring passages (personal fav.) Tina is real and is particularly funny when she lets her "Newfie" out. You will hear an occasional word you have no clue what it is. Perfectly imperfect."

"I have been attending Tina's classes for years, and there's a reason why we begged her to start teaching virtually when she moved away. She is genuine. She is funny. She is calming. And she is an incredible, inspiring teacher. Everyone needs a little Tina in their lives!"

"It has been an hour and joy to have shared in Tina's yoga journey all of these years.  Her dedication as a life long learner is inspiring, as she continues to take a myriad of courses and travels the world seeking opportunities to learn and evolve so she can provide her tribe with the richest of experiences.

I have collaborated with Tina on several special candlelight Restorative Yoga-Reiki evenings and can attest to the many dedicated hours that she invests in planning a class to ensure that the participants experience something unique.  From poses, to music, to props, to ambiance, to essential oils, she creatively and carefully plans them all.  You are left feeling physically nurtured, rejuvenated and emotionally free.

Within her regular classes, Tina mindfully takes the time to plan a theme for each of her classes which inspires her relevant choice of postures and flow, and the poignant quotes infused throughout help to prompt reflection and healing.  Her understanding of alignment and wisdom regarding the unique nature of our individual bodies, are reflected in her prompts and the modifications that she offers. I admire the way in which she inspires her yogis to find what feels good to them and respectfully promotes self exploration.

I always appreciate the way Tina encourages and models how to take all aspects of yoga, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, off our mats and into our lives.  Her grace, ease, humour, creativity, openness and authenticity are the qualities that I very much admire in her as a heart-centered teacher and any yogi is blessed to learn and grow beside her.
