In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Shayna Thomas, an Anishinaabe woman from Kinistin Saulteaux First Nation. Shayna is a yoga teacher, educator, and the creator of Seven Teachings Wellness. Shayna shares her journey from teaching in early childhood education to creating a wellness practice rooted in the Seven Grandfather Teachings: love, respect, honesty, truth, wisdom, humility, and courage. We explore what true wellness really means and how wholeness includes caring for ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Shayna opens up about a powerful health wake-up call that shifted her understanding of wellness and brought her into deeper alignment and compassion for all parts of herself. Shayna also talks about the relationship between Indigenous worldviews and yoga philosophy, weaving these teachings together with integrity by honouring their roots and acknowledging their parallels.
This conversation is about living yoga off the mat, the power of presence, love, compassion, and how living with gratitude and intention can shift our everyday lives.

In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I sit down with Stephen Garrett, a Death Shaman and end-of-life coach who was also my instructor in grief and loss, death and dying, and spiritual wellness. Together, we explore Stephen’s journey into grief work, the lessons he’s learned from those nearing the end of life, and how we can foster a healthier relationship with death and dying. In this episode, Stephen shares personal stories and wisdom. He offers guidance for anyone seeking to overcome the fear of mortality or deepen their understanding of life and loss.
