Deven Schenck

Yoga Teacher

Deven was first introduced to yoga as a teenager when a dance instructor incorporated a Savasana practice into her regular lessons. Deven has always had an active lifestyle, dancing and weightlifting, which yoga supported her mind and body through. It wasn't until she moved to the Niagara Region in 2023 that yoga started to take a leading role in her self-care. In 2026, she decided to explore the personal growth opportunities that studying yoga can offer by completing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification. She now teaches Hatha and Vinyasa Flow classes that reflect her lived experience by combining slow, mindful stretches, creative dance-like flows, and fun balancing postures that require strength and patience.

Deven has always appreciated the challenge of some asanas but truly savours the slow and intentional pace of a yoga practice. The opportunity to turn inwards, to observe, and to connect with herself is what brings her back to the mat again and again. As a teacher, she hopes her fellow yogis find that same felt sense of coming home on their mat.
