Meet The Owners
If you can dream it, you can create it.
Amy, Denise & Tanjeryne’s dedication to maintaining a harmonious balance between work and wellness is evident in every aspect of City & Soul’s co-working space, from the member support to the curated spaces and services offered.
Tanjeryne Frances, Denise Walker, & Amy Quist began their entrepreneurial journey together by taking over Lucid Yoga in 2019, a yoga collective located in downtown Edmonton operating out of Homestead Coworking. Their passion for serving the community quickly outgrew their space at Homestead. Inspired by the value of a collaborative co-working space for entrepreneurs, they became motivated to create a niche co-working space specifically for wellness practitioners and yoga teachers. When a commercial location became available in January 2020, they jumped at the opportunity to expand and create a hub focused on community and wellness for all.
