Annick thanks her masters and teachers for the inspiration and lessons she has learned along the way:

• Lindy Langhame, Fitness instructor and Director of ANIE (Association National des Intervenants en Exercice): for her guidance, discipline, relentless coaching and for being the gold standard in Canadian fitness instruction
• Ute St-Jean, Instructor and Fitness Expert: for initiating me into the world of Yoga
• Arline Jernigan, Yogi extraordinaire: for showing me that yoga can take you places beautiful beyond description
• Master Raymond Mourad and Master Roxanne Forget, for initiating me into the world of Martial Arts and for their quiet (but deadly!) patience.
• Master and Kancho Cameron Shayne, Budokon Founder, for taking me under his wing and entrusting Budokon Canada to me. He is a bright light along my path.
• Adam Broughton, Jazz Singer and dear friend, for teaching me that airy dreaming becomes a highly achievable plan when you write it down.
• Marie-Andrée Robinson, the best mother on the planet, for teaching me that no one can knock you down when you know how to pick yourself up.
• To Maxwell, the best son on the planet, for teaching me that I am a goddess, creator of life with a body that is strong capable, miraculous and powerful. I also thank him for keeping me humble, for teaching me patience, and for clapping to the beat instead of complaining every time he's had to sit through one of my classes.
• Fidel Studios for creating an exceptional online identity, presence and strategy.
