Audrey
CYA-E-RYT 550 Artist & Entrepreneur
Audrey O’Marra is a yoga teacher, Reiki Master, artist, and guide for individuals who are seeking deeper connection, purpose, and transformation.
With over two decades of experience in spiritual study, holistic healing, and embodied practice, Audrey weaves ancient wisdom with modern insight to create safe, sacred spaces for women to return to themselves.
Her teachings blend yoga, Reiki, breathwork, and soulful creativity—offering pathways for individuals to reconnect with their intuition, awaken their inner strength, and live from a place of love, clarity, and purpose.
Whether guiding a class, mentoring one-on-one, or sharing through writing, Audrey’s work is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and a deep reverence for the sacred journey of becoming.
Why I Teach
There was a time in my life when the weight of pain, disconnection, and overwhelm felt unbearable—when even the smallest breath required courage. It was through these moments of deep suffering that I came to understand the healing power of the breath, the wisdom of the body, and the sacredness of presence.
I teach because I remember what it feels like to be lost. I offer these practices not as theory, but as lived truth—a road map back to self, to spirit, and to wholeness. This work is not just what I do, it's who I am.
Kristin
Artist, pottery artist, creative soul!
I'm Audrey's daughter who was lucky enough to inherit the artistic gene from my Mama. I teamed up with her almost 9 years ago when I decided life was too short and I wanted more time with my family so I quit my full time retail management job and here I am!
Most days you will find me working on crafting up something fun for your home, ordering new cool merchandise for the store or planning workshops at the studio!

Teachers
Tony
Tony Murdock adds his expertise and years of experience to our program through his teachings of Spiritual Anatomy, Sanskrit, and the Gita.
Tony’s spiritual journey began in 1972 when he met his guru, Ramakrishna Ananda. From this point forward, he has dedicated his life to personal spiritual unfoldment. In 1973, he received his spiritual name, Vishnu Das (servant of the preserving aspect of the Divine).
Tony’s interest in spiritual development led him to study Comparative Religions at York University and California State University, Fullerton. After completing his Honours Degree in Comparative Religions, he continued his academic studies and received his Master’s degree from McMaster University in Sanskrit and Hindu Religious History, with a minor in Christian Studies.
Since 1998, Tony has been facilitating meditation classes and workshops in various parts of Ontario, Halifax, and Vancouver, BC. His personal practice and coursework incorporate a blend of meditations drawn from a variety of religious and spiritual traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity.
This experience gave him the tools to work successfully for 12 years in corporate middle management, where he learned to balance his life as a meditator with both his work and personal life.
Shelley
CYT 240 , Meditation Facilitator, Reiki II
My name is Shelley Dulmage, and I am blessed to be the mother of three amazing young men. They are my life, love, and focus.
I am someone who believes in the saying, “Everything happens for a reason,” and my yoga journey fits beautifully within this belief.
Yoga has come in and out of my life for about 15 years. Over the last five years, I found myself contemplating taking the YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) course with Audrey. In August 2022, I finally took the plunge and, without regret, began my spiritual journey. Little did I know how much this decision would change my life. Yoga became a place of healing for me during one of the most trying seasons of my life.
I am now dedicated to continuing my growth, healing, and learning. I am currently enrolled in the 2023/24 Introduction to Meditation course at Art Rocks. I am inspired and driven to live a mindful life and excited to share a part of my journey with you.
Outside of yoga and meditation, I have many other activities and passions. I stay active by playing volleyball and working out at home. I also love long walks in nature and spending time on the water in a kayak or paddleboard.
I have a creative side as well, creating healing jewelry and home décor inspired by nature through my company, Shelle Belle Healing Designs.
Jill
240 CYT, Reiki level II, CYT Introduction To Yoga as Therapy
My name is Jill and I am very happy to be part of the Art Rocks yoga family!
My yoga journey began over 40 years ago and to this day it still brings me so many wonderful gifts as I continue to learn and grow in my practice. Audrey and I met in 2012 when I started taking her evening yoga classes at Hausers. From then on, she hasn't been able to get rid of me!
My teacher training was completed under Audrey (see what I mean!) encompassing not only yoga and some specialized yoga studies, but meditation teacher training as well. As well as Yoga my favorite things to do are travelling and reading.
