Ingrid Schaller

Mindfulness, Meditation and Movement

If Ingrid could recommend only two things for our growth and contentment, she would choose embodied movement and stillness. In her practices, Ingrid delves into the how and why of movement with special focus on the interaction between movement and the mind. While her journey into embodied practices began with a yoga class in1998, that path has expanded to include a 500 hour advanced practices certificate with Scott Anderson, a Pilates Mat certificate with Collette Stewart, the application of reflexology techniques, an ongoing meditation practice with Mingur Rinpoche, Scott Anderson and Michael Stone, and thousands of hours teaching and learning on and off the mat. She’s run Ingrid Schaller Wellness since 2014, offering workshops on habits, resilience, anxiety and personal reflection.

All of this study to become more self-aware, resilient and content have helped Ingrid raise her two daughters in a more mindful manner, allowed her to live on a hobby farm with a few animals and a large garden, work a part-time job in property management and support a family business with her spouse. Ingrid likes to get outside to run, walk or hike, and has become fond of nordic and skate skiing in the winter. She loves to travel, speak other languages, serve the community in the way of food or educational needs and share time with family and friends.

Following a playful, accessible, and biology-informed approach to her teaching, Ingrid offers private sessions, studio classes, workshops, and retreats.
