Celeste stepped on stage at a provincial bodybuilding competition and went into a state of non-duality or what can best be related to as “pure joy.” She didn’t come out of the state for three months. During that time, nothing in her life was particularly miraculous or contributing to exceptional happiness. She was studying at York University full-time, holding down three jobs, training up to two hours a day at the gym and trying to make sleep a hobby. Yet, no matter how stressful her day was, stress did not register as a difficult occurrence. All of her life became one continuous experience of moments that felt alive and direct. Each experience felt like a privilege, even when it involved deep loss, sadness or failure. Her book, The Intelligent Body is her account of how a state of joy can be lived at all times. The unique personal stories not only uplift, they reveal that there is no path to constantly feel alive, and that by knowing this, you discover how.

The yoga house is the most beautiful yoga studio in Toronto, and one of the best-kept secrets of the east end. Just being in the space is peaceful in and of itself. Celeste's warmth and expertise - which she has in equal, ample measure - are a joy to experience, and absolutely unique in the city.

Andrea Apa
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Celeste is exactly the yoga teacher I didn't realize I needed - relaxed, playful, fun, yet extremely knowledgeable about the way the body moves. (She has studied Kinesiology and Physical Education, which is a great base for yoga!) Her classes attract a lovely group of chill people, which creates a mellow, welcoming atmosphere. Plus the studio itself is gorgeous, looking onto a beautiful ravine.
