Kim Johnson, Yoga & Meditation Instructor 

Kim is originally from Durban, South Africa.  She took her first yoga class in February 2016 at The OM Center, not knowing what to expect or what yoga really was, she remembers feeling anxious and nervous.  The teachers at OM were warm, kind and reassuring,making her feel welcome and at ease.  Going back every week, it didn't take long until she connected to her breath and made that body, mind, spirit connection.  Stepping out of her comfort zone has softened her anxieties and helped her feel centered and grounded, bringing peace and happiness within. In June 2017 Kim graduated from the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training under the tutelage of Jessica Proulx at The OM Center. Filled with gratitude for her supportive community, Kim teaches from an open heart and with the confidence that yoga has gifted her.  Kim lives in Oakville with her 3 children and cat Willow.  She follows an Ayurvedic lifestyle, focusing on meditation and nutrition. In her spare time, Kim enjoys a variety of fitness classes, hiking and spending time with family and friends.
