"I found the MOST WONDERFUL cookbook ever and I think that everyone would appreciate it's clear, concise, and simple approach to a healthful/mindful diet. The BodyArt Cookbook by Tanya is a fabulous treasure designed for people with specific fitness goals.  I have found it to be extremely beneficial since the majority of the meals take seconds to prepare. It is also great for traveling."

"My journey with Tanya began when my husband and I signed up for bootcamp in 2000. After completing the 12 week program and successfully obtaining my goal weight, I realized I was still searching for something more. Two and a half years later my search reconnected me with Tanya when I enrolled in BodyArts Core Forms class (Power Yoga Fusion). This was it - a defining moment in my life. I knew from that first class with Tanya, I had found my path and my passion in life. Five years later and many hours of study and training with Tanya and many other gifted teachers, I continue forward on my journey teaching guided yoga classes in rural communities across Southern Alberta. Most importantly, Tanya has taught me that the real transformation begins on the inside. It is only when you begin to bring the focus and awareness inward can you truly begin to transform your life – inside and out. Tanya’s teachings over the years have been invaluable and I am truly blessed to have had such an inspirational mentor in my life. Thanks Tanya. Peace to all."

"During my BodyArt Bootcamp and Power Yoga Fusion classes with Tanya I was able to build my core muscles to master balance.  She carefully assessed my body mechanics and helped me rid of low-back pain that was caused by poor alignment during my performances. Her attention to detail has been a large contributing factor to my professional career.  BodyArt nutrition strategies taught me how to eat for energy and put on some much needed lean muscle without weight training, just yoga and lots of performance practice!"  
 

CARLY BROADBENT
co-owner of Yoga Revolution and Fitness Inc.
certified yoga teacher, fitness trainer, weight loss coach
BodyArt Certified 2004


Carly started working with Tanya at 17 years old for her first BodyArt Bootcamp. She studied under Tanya's guidance for 3 years attending daily yogasana and vinyasa pilates classes and eventually taught classes at BodyArt. After Carly graduated highschool, Tanya taught her weight training and transformation nutrition to become BodyArt Certified. When Tanya took her studio on the road, Carly and Michele, both BodyArt coaches, then opened their own studio offering group yoga/pilates classes and carried on the proven BodyArt Transformation Bootcamp method.



"I know that my new-found self-esteem is largely due to my sense of personal accomplishment through the BodyArt Lifestyle. I have transformed my body. I have lost 35 pounds. I have found my career passion and I know that whatever future goals I have I will achieve them.

Not only has my self-confidence soared, my vitality and energy level hit an all time high, my outlook on life and my future has never been more positive. I simply must give credit where credit is due. I primarily owe this change to Tanya.

She not only provided the motivation when my battery ran low, but she helped me see my entire world through new eyes. I am for the first time in my life not only in touch with my personal power, but I truly believe the old saying. "A person can do anything he/she puts their mind to."
 

PAIGE SLEZAK
BodyArt Student

"I was in desperate need of a change in the health and wellness department without even really knowing it. I spent many years playing competitive sports which in turn spilled over into everything I ever did. I was competitive in every aspect of my life, with myself, with others, for others. It was reeking havoc on my body and my emotional spirit. Plagued with one knee injury after another I was left with a gym membership that wasn’t proving to show me the results I was looking for. When I first attended yoga my mind was pretty much made up that if running on the treadmill, spinning, lifting weights wasn’t doing the job yoga certainly wasn’t going to do it for me!  Boy was I WRONG!

Now, I know that everyday my body and mind will meet new challenges, and it does not matter how my pose looks (in life or on the mat), it matters how it feels inside and out! As long as I give my best in the moment and know that each day will be different I am a success. Yoga and BodyArt Vinyasa Pilates have not only changed my physical body, but my entire outlook on the rest of my life.

Tanya, I am just so thankful for the opportunity to gain more knowledge and introspect from such an amazing and inspirational woman such as your self."
