Keira Burgess
Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Retreat Facilitator, Intuitive Guide
Human. Mystic. Daughter of Mother Earth & Father Sky. Granddaughter of the Moon & Stars. Lover of Nature.
Keira grew up in St.Albert, Alberta, Canada.
Before Keira consciously acknowledged her Spirituality, she was a lover of culture, languages, movement & creativity.
She grew up Irish Dancing & Cross Country Skiing; practices that honoured her Irish & Norwegian roots. Keira also participated in two 6-week-long language exchanges to Québec to learn French as a young adult.
Keira studied Art & Design from junior high right into University where she got her Bachelor of Design degree in Industrial Design {all 3D design that isn’t fashion, architecture or engineering} in 2007. While studying at the University of Alberta, she got a taste for furniture making, drawing, painting, sculpture, graphic design, photography, French as a second language, art history, human ecology, systems design & environmental sustainability.
Keira worked in the field of Interior Design & Custom Kitchen Design and carried on to get her Masters in Design degree “European Design Labs” {multi-disciplinary design} from the European Design Institute in Madrid, Spain in 2009 - where she also learned Spanish.
A trip to Istanbul, Turkey during her Masters program was the beginning of the spark of waking up to her spiritual side. In 2010 Keira was introduced to Yoga {yoga poses, yogic philosophy & Ayurveda} by a long-time friend and her curiosity was piqued. Shortly thereafter, Keira began studying yoga in her first Yoga Teacher Training and she was enthralled.
Keira has been teaching yoga & meditation and working as a freelance designer since 2011. In 2017 Keira became a facilitator for the Lahari Ambassador Yoga teacher training program. In 2019 Keira took a step back from teaching weekly yoga classes to tend to herself & turn inward. In January of 2020 she hosted a yoga retreat on O’ahu, Hawai’i, and returned to the island in the spring of 2022 to teach yoga for a few more retreats, as well as to help design & decorate a retreat centre.
In the summer of 2022 Keira launched her first e-course Intro to Meditation.
