Martine grew up in Petawawa, Ontario, and after a brief stint in Ottawa she returned to Petawawa to stay.  Working as an Administrative Assistant by day, Martine is always seeking balance between her day job and her passions.

Martine was first introduced to yoga at the age of 13, and after dabbling in yoga for many years, she finally committed to a regular yoga practice in 2017 and hasn’t looked back.  She took the 2018/2019 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Ally and Maeg at White Pine Yoga and is now proud to be an Assistant Teacher and Administrator on White Pine’s 200 hr YTT and other continuing education programs.

Martine’s teaching continues to be inspired by her OG teachers Ally and Maeg, and her continuing education with Cecily Milne – Yoga Detour, Kathryn Bruni-Young – Mindful Strength, and Jason Crandell Yoga Method, using functional range patterns and strong, thoughtful sequences to leave her students feeling empowered and well-rounded by the end of their practice.

In her spare time Martine can be found exploring the outdoors with the true love-of-her-life, her dog, Kobe, tending to her plants, or enjoying a hot cup of tea and sharing some laughs with her loved ones.
