The FYL Team

Erin is fitness enthusiast with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and a Master’s Degree in Public Health (Health Policy and Management).

Erin is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and is excited to add the Pre and Post Natal Fitness Specialist to her repertoire. Erin has worked in fitness since 2001 and has experience working clients across the lifespan, from children and youth to high performance athletes and older adults. 

Erin enjoyed being active from a young age, including playing sports, enjoying the great outdoors, and helping others reach their fitness goals. Erin, along with her husband Daniel, their son Arlo and daughter Aurora, enjoy being active as a family. Because fitness has always been a big part of her life, Erin hopes to inspire women during pregnancy and postpartum to be the best and healthiest version of themselves. Erin is very excited to join the Fit Your Life team and inspire other moms-to-be, mothers, and women get active and have a little fun with sweating.

As an avid runner and gym enthusiast, Lindsey initially came to yoga seeking a physical balance and injury prevention. She soon found out that there was so much more she could gain from this practice. Through yoga, Lindsey learned to let go of stresses beyond her control and be more present with everyday life.  

In 2014, Lindsey traveled to Costa Rica to gain her 200-hour Yoga Teaching Training certification. Since then, through her pregnancy and birth, she became very fascinated with the pregnant and post-partum body. Subsequently, she completed an 85-hour Pre- and Postnatal Yoga certification through Mamata yoga. Lindsey recently completed her 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification, which included Mind Body Energy, Meditation, and Trauma Informed Teaching (among other aspects). She is currently working towards becoming a Postpartum Doula!  

Lindsey teaches based on her own personal experiences in a way which others can relate. Presence through breath and body awareness, proper alignment, and of course fun are the main focuses in her classes!

Leah Jussila is a Canadian Registered Safety Professional and a Group Fitness and Pre- & Postnatal Leader certified by the Alberta Fitness Leadership Certification Association (AFLCA). She is excited to unite her two passions to promote total worker health and wellness. 

Leah Jussila attended her first FYL class after the birth of her first daughter in 2016 but it wasn’t until after the birth of her second daughter in 2018 that she was inspired, by the FYL team, to pursue her passion and obtain her group and Pre- & Postnatal Fitness Certification. 

She recognizes what it is like to be a pregnant and postpartum mom who wants to stay fit and make connections with other moms. She is grateful for the opportunity to pass along techniques that can strengthen your body in prenatal and to restore your strength in postnatal. 

She is excited to work with the FYL team to inspire: moms to be, moms and women to be motivated and to stay active. Leah hopes to inspire women to be the best versions of themselves and to enjoy a healthy and fit life.
