Odette Slater
For over 35 years, Odette has been guiding people into deeper relationship with their bodies, voices, and inner wisdom. She is a seasoned yoga and pilates teacher, doula of 13 years, pre-natal yoga teacher, sound healer, and kirtan facilitator, as well as a mother and grandmother.
Odette’s teaching is rooted in presence, compassion, and a deep trust in the intelligence of the body. Odette began studying and teaching yoga in the mid 1980’s in London, England while completing her dance degree – long before yoga teacher certification was even a thing. She continues to study with amazing acharyas and weaves many ancient and contemporary teachings together into her classes. She has been a student of the Vedas for over twenty years. As well as teaching mantra at East Van Wisdom School she enjoys weaving yoga philosophy and Sanskrit mantras into her asana classes at Green Room Yoga.
Odette’s work as a teacher and healer has given her the unique privilege of working with and learning from women who are struggling with mental health and addiction. As well as this, Odette regularly offers a prenatal yoga series Integral Birth Through Yoga, where she offers mothers to be, “a safe container for transformation”, blending physical practice with soulful inquiry and a wealth of supportive resources, as well offers monthly Sound Healing experiences with her partner Dhar – all at Green Room Yoga.
