Both Nicole and Christina believe that their joint venture of East Village was an endeavor written in the stars. Both were content residents of the Highland Creek/West Hill areas. Both were women coming out of the corporate world wanting to do something more meaningful with their lives. Both were busy moms unwilling to sacrifice their home lives for the sake of work. Both were enthusiastic practitioners and Teachers of Yoga and Pilates. The similarities didn't stop there...Nicole operated as the Yoga Momma and Christina operated as the Yogamama.
After meeting in 2004, the connection between the two was unmistakable. For a year they continued to build their separate businesses only connecting indirectly through student referrals. In March of 2005 they came together once again and in a whirlwind of activity in a matter of 5 days founded the first East Village! Their first studio located in Highland Creek grew so quickly that in less than 15 months, they moved to their current location in Pickering.
They hope to cultivate their love and respect of Yoga, Pilates & in the neighborhoods that they live in and love.
