Restoring Routines Day 1:

A practice to try in the first moments of waking to have agency over how you'd like to feel in the hours to come.

20 min Standing Strengthener

Sun Salutations followed by a handful of standing postures make this a great morning practice when you want to feel stronger and calmer in just a few minutes.

October Workshop- A Fiery Practice

Inspired by some of some of the origins of Halloween, this practice uses imagery of fire for meditation and a core-centered physical practice. You'll also be invited to offer your practice to an ancestor or a loved one who has passed on. Lots of inspiration in this experience!

Morning Uplift and Ease

Begin with an enlivening standing warmup to energize after a night's sleep, then explore full body strengthening and a few moments of restoration to close.

Deep Presence & Reconnection

A gentle and restoring 30 minute seated and standing practice offering practical skills like mindfulness, movement and a breath technique intended to soothe your nervous system and bring you home to yourself.

Reconnect with You

While we can't control the outer world, we can have agency over our nervous systems. Throughout this full body practice, sample a selection of skills to reconnect with your body and the deeper aspects of who you are.

Mindful Senses Meditation

An invitation to practice present-centered awareness by connecting with body sensations and witnessing the outer and inner environment.

Tension Release (Hips & Upper Back)

This 30 minute class is intended to not only release physical tension but offers imagery and meditation to free mental and emotional tension as well.

Help for Healing

If you are in recovery from an injury, an illness, an episode of stress or another state of dis-ease, a practice like this can support healing. Expect 40 minutes of gentle movement leading into guided deep relaxation.

Revealing Self-Compassion

A more compassionate inner dialogue becomes more available when we're relaxed which is the intention for this 20 minute practice that invites you to shake out stress, move to prepare your body for rest and ultimately opens to a kinder inner landscape.

Rooted, Centered and Strong

A complete, full body practice including a core-centred warm up and a hamstring stretch cool-down that invites you to connect deeply with the ground to stabilize strong standing postures while grounding into intention.

Rhythmic to Relaxed

A gentle standing sequence intended to center the mind and calm the body. Explore the connection of feet on the ground, of a pause to feel the present moment and a restful breath technique to further soothe your systems.

Connect with Mind, Body and Heart

A mindfulness practice designed to help you hold all the parts of yourself in compassion and discern how you really feel and what you need to support yourself.

A Study in Balance

Inspired by the autumnal equinox and its equal balance of night and day, this practice explores the concept of balancing our inner sun and moon energy through hatha yoga (ha-sun, tha-moon). Expect postures that merge both sides of the body and engaging balancing poses.
