Sherry Zak is the owner of the National Award Winning Breathing Space Yoga Studio in Halifax, where she teaches yoga and practices Massage Therapy as a Registered Massage Therapist.
Sherry’s life has been oriented around movement, dance and fitness since childhood. In 1993, her curiosity of the human body and a passion for wellness led her to study Massage Therapy at the widely respected West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver. It was during this time that she experienced her first yoga class. Upon relocating to Nova Scotia in 1997, she co-created a very successful Multidisciplinary Wellness Center that is still thriving today.
Sherry embarked on the yoga teacher training program purely to deepen her own practice and as an exercise in self exploration. During this process, she discovered that her dharma, her life purpose, clearly involved sharing the gifts of yoga, spirituality and body work. A passion for learning continues to guide her to study with some of the greatest yoga teachers of our time including Rod Stryker, Baron Baptiste, Seane Corn, David Swenson and Rodney Yee. What Sherry’s students love most about her teaching style is her expertise of proper alignment, her ability to create a safe environment and her playful approach to exploring asana.
Sherry finds her lead role with the Halifax Breathing Space community to be incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. She is grateful on a daily basis for the opportunity to offer people a place to challenge themselves and deepen their personal growth in a positive, caring environment. When not at the studio, Sherry can be found playing with the two greatest loves of her life ~ her sons Connor and Maxwell.
