Testimonials

Welcome to Ohana, a wellness centre where you can find yoga, meditation and dance, and non-traditional health guidance for everyone in your family. There’s something for seniors and teens, for the marathon runner in your household and for the person who has been away from fitness for a while and wants to return to better health.

Established over 25yrs ago by husband-and-wife team Darren Renaud and Nicky Poulin in trust that the best way for them to move forward on their health and wellness journey was to share the variety of modalities and practices that they possessed as well as calling upon the skills of other practitioners and instructors so that others would benefit. It was a plan intended only for the greater good of all other. Following a motto that “Movement is Medicine” and even if you can only do a little, you are still doing.

Our mission is to help you feel happier, stronger, and healthier. Regain a sense of life balance and nurture your soul.

We offer classes live in our studio, on Zoom or if you wish we can email a recording of the class to you.

Three to Four times during the year we offer Karma Week, as a gesture of gratitude to those who have supported us over the years, as well as to say hello to those who are new to us. During Karma Week there is no obligation to register with us, just join into the classes.

Ohana has also carried the policy that should you be experiencing any sort of financial stress and truly feel that a regular yoga practice would help you out body, mind and soul, connect with us. We will exchange for service or figure something out, after all nobody should be left behind.

Ohana means family. And our family has helped build the centre. But we consider all our members part of a greater family who share a common goal and help one another.

We also enjoy doing our bit in our community as well, partnering with many organizations, teaching classes, workshops, hosting special events and more!

In 2021 the unfortunate happened when Darren passed in a tragic accident. After some time of rest and recuperation from Darren’s passing Nicky is now feeling strong and wanting to move Ohana forward again, honouring what Darren would have wanted.

If you have any requests or would like to chat to see what classes might be right 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!
