November livestream yoga session – starts Nov 4th

In the midst of a chaotic world, it’s nice to return to basics. Bearing witness. Noticing. Allowing space. Giving presence.

Less is more.

November, in my opinion, is an ideal month to reflect on the past year and to take stock. December is too busy with social functions, and/or supercharged with the destabilizing emotionality of loneliness.

So let’s get ahead of it: join me now in cultivating a gentle, nurturing space for ourselves to move, breathe, and be still.

4-WEEK NOVEMBER SESSION
GIVING PRESENCE: YIN & YANG YOGA
Mondays 5:30-6:30 pm CT
November 4, 11, 18, 25
$50 (includes 7-day replay)

Each day of class, you will be emailed a unique Zoom link to gain access. Feel free to hop onto the Zoom 5 minutes early to say hi and chat!

Shortly after each class, a link to the recording will be sent out, which will be available for 7 days.

Fall yoga: join me in-person for an 8-week session at Sport Manitoba starting Oct 20th!

We’re BACK! Join me in-person this fall with 8-week yoga sessions starting Sunday October 20th at Sport Manitoba Fitness Centre!

There are two types of class to choose from; while each session will have different focuses, they will both have an emphasis on cultivating functional movement that supports our everyday living.

Space is pretty limited so sign up soon! There is a discount for folks who are already Fitness Centre members. Please see below for more details.

YOGA FOR STRENGTH
Sundays Oct 20-Dec 8, 10:30-11:30 am
8-week session
$150 (non-members) / $130 (members)

We are stronger than we think! This session will focus on building resilience (mental / physical) through our yoga practice. When we rise up to challenge, we show ourselves our inner strength and learn how to be our own cheerleader. We will explore how to prepare for greater and greater challenge, learning how proper scaffolding is what sets us up for feeling strong and empowered.

We will work up to playing at the edges of our comfort zone, and in that, I’ll offer modifications for postures so that you can find a version of the practice that suits you best.

YOGA FOR MOBILITY
Sundays Oct 20-Dec 8, 12:00-1:00 pm
8-week session
$150 (non-members) / $130 (members)

This session blends yoga and Functional Range Conditioning principles to maintain and improve range of motion in our joints. We slow things down to release tension, which then makes room for new movement patterns. This is particularly important for aging bodies (i.e. all bodies), injury recovery and prevention, and simply feeling comfortable in yourself.

I offer options to dial up / down the intensity so that you can make the practice work for your needs. Sometimes taking a step back is the more challenging choice; sometimes taking baby steps is just the right fit. Learning to adjust the practice to suit you is a key component to self-stewardship.

If you have any questions, check out this list of FAQs, or feel free to send me a message here. If you want to contact Sport Manitoba directly, you can do so here.

October livestream yoga session – starts Oct 7th

In Sanskrit (the language of yoga), the word for contentment is santosha. It speaks to the relationship we have with ourselves and our lives. How can we find ease with things as they are? How do we come home to ourselves?

Feeling settled doesn’t just spontaneously happen – it takes a bit of effort to get there! Our practice gives us a chance to actively look for little moments of joy, nourishment, or even just okayness – and to really take that in. Little by little, contentment is a state that we can inhabit with more familiarity and consistency.

Join me in October for a 4-week livestream yoga session:

4-WEEK OCTOBER SESSION
THE RIGOR OF CONTENTMENT: YIN & YANG YOGA
Mondays 5:30-6:30 pm CT
October 7, 14, 21, 28

September livestream yoga session – starts Sep 2nd

Beauty and ease is there for us, even in moments of darkness and despair. Can we learn to take it in? Appreciating the beautiful parts of life doesn’t negate the difficulties and challenges, but it can resource us so that we can meet the difficulties with greater resolve. Through our Yin Yang practice, we play with duality and learn to make room for more.

Join me in September for a 4-week livestream yoga session:

4-WEEK SEPTEMBER SESSION
PLANNING FOR BEAUTY: YIN & YANG YOGA
Mondays 5:30-6:30 pm CT
September 2, 9, 16, 23
