August livestream yoga session – starts August 7th

As we enter August, we might react to feeling the setting of summer’s sun. In anticipating the future, we can disrupt our enjoyment of the present. What might it be like to simply allow things to be as they are, without adding on or taking anything away? The name of this month’s session is inspired by a poem by Jane Hirshfield called, “‘A Carbon-Based Life Form'” (see below).

“A Carbon-Based Life Form”
By Jane Hirshfield

A person tired from happiness grows sober.

Another, worn through
by sadness, stumbles into a kind of joy.

It is like a dog alone in a house, barking to hear its own kind.

Nothing needs to be added. Yet we do.

July livestream yoga session – starts July 10th

What a delight it is to bear witness to this season of growth and abundance! As we tend to our gardens or simply pause to admire the leafy trees in our neighbourhood, may we be reminded of how vital it is to find stability (root down) in order to flourish (reach up!). Let’s channel this energy into our practices and ourselves.

Last in-person yoga sessions at Sport Manitoba before we break for summer!

Please catch my last in-person sessions at Sport Manitoba Fitness Centre before we take a break for summer! These are 4-week yoga sessions that start Sunday May 28th.

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. As we step into spring, let’s create strength and space in ourselves to fully embrace this season of regeneration.

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 May 28-June 18, 11-12 noon
4 week session
$75 (non-members) / $65 (members)

This session will focus on building stability and endurance (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 build these “muscles” in our practice, so that when we step off the mat, we can show up in our lives feeling empowered and resilient.

What is a healthy dose of challenge? One that asks you to reach a little outside of your comfort zone, but not so much that you feel defeated. With 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 May 28-June 18, 12:30-1:30 pm
4 week session
$75 (non-members) / $65 (members)

This session blends yoga and Functional Range Conditioning principles to maintain and improve range of motion in our joints. This is particularly important for aging bodies (i.e. all bodies), injury recovery, and simply feeling more at ease in our skin.

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.
