Meet The Teachers & Staff!
Audrey
CYA-E-RYT 550 Artist & Entrepreneur
Audrey Started her journey on the Path of Yoga in 2007 and immediately felt the benefits. This journey has become her passion to bring those benefits to her students.
Her intention is to provide a space for all who need healing and she uses a gentle approach to allow each individual the opportunity to be still and create their own sacred space within.
Audrey's training as a Yoga teacher began with a two year intensive Meditation Facilitator Training Course with Tony Murdock from Towards Stillness. She continues to build upon her skills with continued Education & training, workshops and daily practice. Among many of the courses she has completed Sound Bath Healing, Reiki Master, Yin Yoga, and more.
Audrey beliefs we are all students and should never stop learning, learning is a life time journey as is the practice of Yoga. Audrey has also travelled to India for a month long intensive training learning the Traditional style of Yoga at the Nada Yoga School and is excited to pass on what she has learned. "it is a humbling experience to acknowledge that the more we learn the less we know, it is an ongoing process."
She is currently working on her Soul Art Certification to bring these teachings to what she already offers.
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 8 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!
My most recent passion is Pottery, which you can find at the studio or follow my Pottery page on this website.

Teaching Staff
Tony Murdock adds his expertise and years of experience to our program with 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 in
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. It taught him to balance his life as a meditator
with both his work and his personal life.
Shelley
CYT 240 , Meditation Facilitator, Reiki II
My name is Shelley Dulmage, I am blessed to be a mother of three amazing young men. They
are my life, love, and focus.
I am a person that believes in the saying “everything happens for a reason” And my yoga
journey fits along with this belief.
As yoga has come in and out of my life for about 15 years. Over the last 5 years, each year I
contemplated taking the YTT, Yoga Teacher Training course with Audrey. It was August 2022 I
took the plunge, and without regret I started my spiritual journey. Little did I know how much
this decision was going to change my life. It became my healing place during one of my most
trying seasons in my life this far.
I am now dedicated to continue my growth, healing and learning. I am currently enrolled in
2023/24 Introduction to Meditation course at Art Rocks. I’m inspired and driven to live a
mindful life and excited to share a part of my journey with you.
I have other activities and passions, I stay active playing many hours of volleyball and working
out in my home. I also love long nature walks and to chill on the water in a kayak or a paddle
board. I also have a creative side creating healing jewelry and home décor inspired by nature,
my company name is Shelle Belle Healing Designs.
Joscelyn
200 Hour CYT, Restorative Facilitator
Hi I’m Joscelyn Deavu, I found yoga in my late teenage years and practiced on and off for years. I’ve taken my first 200 hour teacher training in 2018 with De La Sol and in 2023 with Audrey at Art Rocks. I have also taken a Restorative Teacher training and Hot stone Restorative teacher training. My hope is to guide students to find moments of peace and calm and help with de-stressing after a long day or even sometimes a long week. Yoga has helped me become more aware of my thoughts, feelings and emotions and has helped regulate my emotions in practicing mindfulness day to day. I have found yoga to be healing and has opened my heart to want to share it with the world.
Outside of teaching yoga, I enjoy spending time with my 2 dogs, reading, travelling and spending time with friends and family.
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.
