About Us
Noelle Cormier, E-RYT200hr
Noelle's yoga journey began in 1998. She is the director of Yoga by Noelle and Studio 2 for Yoga and Wellness (located at 78 Main Street South, Georgetown).
She is an Experienced Registered Yoga Instructor (ERYT200) with the Yoga Alliance, a 350hr Certified Yoga Instructor through East to West Yoga, a Yoga Exercise Specialist, a Restorative Yoga Specialist and a Post Natal Specialist. Noelle is a member of the Ontario Yoga Association (OYA) and has had articles published in the OYA magazine.
Noelle brings valuable experience as a yoga instructor and has worked successfully in group settings and one on one with individuals. She specializes in Corporate yoga and also teaches restorative yoga, YIN yoga, Baby & Me Yoga as well as private lessons. Noelle has successfully created a unique yoga program to integrate into the school system. Noelle offers a form of Yoga Therapy through a unique combination of yoga, TFH, EFT and Chakra Balanciing. Touch for Health (TFH) incorporates a 14-muscle balancing technique, applied kinesiology, chinese medicine principles, massage, energy work and postural alignment to improve energy and release physical and mental pain as well as relieve stress.
As a Touch for Health practitioner
Noelle also offers Energy Healing services. Energy Healing is a hands-on-healing approach that moves energy through the Chakras to restore balance and overall health, much like Reiki. As far back as childhood, your body has memories imprinted deep within the tissues and the endocrine system. Moving energy through the Chakras and a few simple home exercises will help release any blockages and will start you on your journey to better balance.
Noelle also offers Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT) developed by Gary Craig. This complimentary therapy allows you to heal emotional issues that show up in your body as dis-ease. EFT has been known and has been documented to heal emotional trauma such as childhood abuse and addictions as well as physical pain and disease. She has successfully cured her fear of heights and eczema using EFT.
"I believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself and wish to share my knowledge with you through various techniques including yoga, chakra balancing, EFT and touch for health. You are your own healer, I'm just the facilitator."
Noelle has combined her yoga knowledge, her Touch for Health and EFT skills as well as meditation and pranayama into a successful 5 month, 5 layer 'Living La Vita Yoga' program. This program is designed to heal the 5 layers of the human spirit.

As someone who is always eager to learn, Noelle has studied with various other renowned and influential yoga teachers such as Martin Kirk, Jill Miller, Seane Corn, Mark Whitwell, Nischala Joy Devi and Sat Dharam Kaur.

She is eager to incorporate her newfound yoga into her already established business.

She acquired her Touch for Health Certification and went on to study Energy Medicine with Donna Eden (along with Energy Medicine for Women) and also Energy Phychology with David Feinstein.
