Jasmine Hillier
Jasmine Hillier (she/her) has played on the ocean for much of her life. During her time away from the ocean, she discovered the practice of yoga and the profound physical, mental, and energetic transformations that come along with it. Learning to observe energetic subtleties through her yoga practice allowed her to feel that nature also has the ability to heal and transform us on a cellular level. She received her yoga teacher training in 2016 and then moved to Vancouver island, where she eventually became a kayak guide with SKGABC. Jasmine moved to Cortes last year, and has loved leading kayak trips around the coastlines of Cortes and the Discovery Islands.
