TANYA HUPALIWSKY

Tanya Hupaliwsky is a yoga teacher with over a decade of teaching experience, offering Vinyasa, (hot) Hatha, and Yin yoga classes in both The Netherlands and her hometown of Montreal, Canada. Her journey began 20 years ago when she first stepped onto a mat seeking relief from the pressures of a demanding career in banking. What started as a physical release quickly evolved into a lifelong exploration of presence, healing, and self-awareness.

Tanya’s teaching is deeply informed by her studies with esteemed teacher Mark Whitwell, whose emphasis on breath, heart-centered practice, and the individual’s direct connection to life has profoundly shaped her approach. She weaves this philosophy into her classes, inviting students to honor their own unique rhythms while grounding into the breath as a guide toward inner balance.

Her teaching style is warm, intuitive, and inclusive—creating a compassionate space where students feel supported to explore whatever arises in their practice. Tanya brings a light-hearted energy to the mat, blending storytelling, mantra chanting, and moments of laughter with deep, intentional movement and stillness. She believes that yoga is a practice of returning to wholeness, and her classes reflect this ethos with a balance of playfulness and depth.

Yin yoga continues to be a personal anchor in her own life—a practice that cultivates self-love, stillness, and the ability to be with the present moment without judgment. Through her teachings, Tanya encourages others to gently meet themselves as they are, and to trust the transformative potential of this ancient practice in navigating the ever-changing landscape of life.
