Northern Compass Yoga Company

Northern Compass is in reference to our inner guide, mentor, and truth. The tools with which we can hone to navigate our own path wherever it may lead us. As we always hear, it’s not about the destination, but the journey along the way. My intention is to facilitate a journey that is one of adventure, insight, and courage. There are so many ways in and all roads lead HOME. 

It’s a company in the sense that it really doesn’t exist without you! You are a part of it just as much as I am, here contributing to a community of like-minded people. Without you it’s just little ol’ me in an empty room. I’m so excited that you’re here to be a part of it!

“Let your heart be your compass, your mind your map, your soul your guide, and you will never get lost.” — Ritu Ghatourey

“Athena’s classes are inviting & all encompassing, giving full autonomy to the practitioner offering options that suit all. Athena has a beautiful manner to her cues that make advanced postures possible.” 

Jeanette Keane Yoga teacher -Toronto Canada/Dublin Ireland

“One of my favorite teachers who I continue to learn so much from. If you are looking for a quality teacher who delves into more than just the base layer of your average flow classes, she is the teacher for you! Every class feels fresh with controlled and conscious movements that allow you to feel every tendon and ligament. Her energy, expertise and experience is unmatched.” 

Dhanvanth Veeraselven -Yoga teacher Toronto

“Athena’s classes are intelligent, playful, and infused with her deep knowledge of movement and the human body. You feel the calm influence of the great lineage of teachers and teachings she has dedicated her life and work to. If you are an instructor yourself, you will be drawn to her impeccable attention to detail, continuous thirst for knowledge and her commitment to personal development. She is an ideal balance of playful, unapologetic, unafraid, attentive, honest, and is an absolutely endearing individual to be around and learn from.”
