Testimonials

Welcome to Ohana, our wellness centre where we offer yoga, meditation, dance, and non-traditional health guidance for everyone in your family. Whether you’re a senior, a teen, a marathon runner, or someone who’s been away from fitness for a while, we have something for you.

My name is Nicky Poulin, and together with my late husband Darren Renaud, we founded Ohana over 26 years ago. Our vision was to share our diverse health and wellness practices and collaborate with other skilled practitioners to benefit our community. We believe that “Movement is Medicine.” Every small step you take is progress, and we are here to support you on your journey to better health and wellness – physically, mentally and spiritually.

Our mission at Ohana is to help you feel happier, stronger, and healthier. We aim to restore balance in your life and nurture your soul. You can join our classes live in our studio, on Zoom, or receive an emailed recording to practice at your convenience.

Throughout the year, we host Karma Week three to four times as a gesture of gratitude to our long-time supporters and a warm welcome to newcomers. During this week, you can join our classes for FREE and there is not any obligation to register.

At Ohana, we understand that financial stress shouldn’t prevent you from enjoying the benefits of a regular yoga practice. If you’re facing financial difficulties, please connect with us. We’ll find a way to make it work, whether through a service exchange or another arrangement. No one should be left behind.

Ohana means family, and our centre was built by our family. We consider all our members part of a greater family united by a common goal of mutual support and well-being. We love engaging with our community by partnering with various organizations, teaching classes and workshops, and hosting special events.

In 2021, we faced the tragic loss of Darren. After a period of rest and healing, I am now ready to move Ohana forward, honouring Darren’s legacy.

If you have any questions or want to find the right class for you, please email admin@ohanawellness.ca or call 705-493-0692.

Be safe, be healthy, and be kind.

After all… this is the place where love lives!
