Astrid Cameron Kent: Bio

Astrid is one of Whistler’s most active and respected community leaders. A Yoga teacher, director of countless boards, advisor for Friends to Mankind, culinary promoter and social advocate; she is literally a juggernaut of spirituality and goodwill.

 A seemingly infinite amount of energy and enthusiasm likely stems from Astrid’s days as an elite athlete. For years she routinely competed in Ironman’s, marathons, bike racing, windsurfing events and cross country skiing competitions. Today her once feisty and performance driven demeanor has given way to a more spiritual and balanced stance. A focus on nature, holistic existence, and actively encouraging sustainable living is now the invigorating outlook she shares with everyone around her.   

A certified Shiatsu and Reiki Therapist, Astrid and has devoted the past 20 years to studying transformational teachings, centric healing and personal development initiatives. She has an unwavering commitment to constantly be in a state of growth and to advance her abilities in sharing her knowledge; inspiring others to live rich and nourishing lives.

In May of 2001 Astrid celebrated the opening of Neoalpine Yoga Studio. Initially a passionate student, Astrid continued her studies until 2005 at which point she completed her specialized training ( YT200) and has been an instructor ever since. Never content to sit still, she continues her studies and has completed certified courses and workshops by some of the world’s top Anusara, Jivamukti and Restorative Yoga Therapy instructors, again adding to her ever growing skill sets and offerings.

 In 2008 Astrid became an Advisor for Master Dhyan Vimal and The Sacred Work with the School of Mastery. Master Dhyan Vimal’s teachings, principles and goodwill mission are currently Astrid’s main focus. Her studies have been taking her to all points on the globe and are yet another step in her journey towards enlightenment.

Professionally, Astrid exhibits the same level of commitment, passion and consciousness to her business endeavors as she does her holistic lifestyle.  She caters to some of the top restaurants and top toques in the restaurant industry. Astrid’s Fine Foods focuses on sourcing Artisan products, connecting chefs with farmers, educates the public on sustainable food practices and ‘going local’. Astrid is also one of the founders and directors of the Whistler Chef Challenges, Feast in the Mountains, Slow Food Sea to Sky, Tour de Farms, Green Table Network and an active member of the Whistler 2020 Food Task Force.

Whether in the Yoga Studio, motivating students in their Friends to Mankind training, leading community initiatives or pioneering social change in the hospitality trade; you can be assured that Astrid will be attacking it with passion, commitment and an abundance of positivity.
