Finding Peace in Amage: A French Countryside Escape 🇫🇷

There is a specific kind of quiet you only find in the French countryside—a silence so profound it actually lets you hear yourself think again.

I’ve been spending time in Amage, and it has been nothing short of restorative. Life here moves at the pace of the seasons, not the clock.

My days are defined by the simplest, most beautiful things:

• The landscape: Endless stretches of vibrant, rolling green grass that seem to go on forever.

• The table: There is nothing like the ritual of eating here. Everything is fresh, local, and tastes like it was plucked from the earth just moments before. It’s a reminder of how good simple, honest food can be.

• The charm: Wandering through these quiet, stone-walled villages feels like stepping into a storybook. There’s a timelessness to the architecture and a genuine warmth in the way of life.

Sometimes, you have to go a long way to find the “authentic” version of something, but here in rural France, it’s in every corner.

Refreshed, inspired, and so grateful for these moments of peace. 🌿🥖✨

Shoulders & Hips Unlocked — class highlights at

Not your typical “hips + shoulders” class.

We went unconventional — building hip stability first, then layering in core strength, ankle stability, and foot strength to support the whole chain.

Because hips don’t work in isolation.

Neither do shoulders.
Strong feet + stable ankles + responsive core = joints that move better and feel safer.

This class was about:
• control before range
• stability before stretch
• strength that supports freedom of movement

Less forcing.
More intelligence.
Movement that actually carries into real life.

✨ This weekend felt like a New Wave — and a full circle ✨

After some time away, I’m returning to teaching full time — not as I was before, but shaped by experience, change, and everything life placed in between. A new wave, not a reset.

The Open House on Saturday at Side Door Studio Alliston - my new “baby”- reminded me why I’ve always been drawn to teaching. People arrived curious, some unsure, and left more open, steadier, lighter. That quiet shift still feels like the heart of this work.

On Sunday afternoon we shared a Sound Bath with the teachers at Side Door Studio Angus. Resting in sound rather than effort, I remembered that this is a place where my own return to yoga — and to myself — began almost three years ago. That was the first ripple.

Earlier on Sunday we gathered as the Alliston team, sitting on the floor, sharing intentions and ideas.
For me, it felt like standing at the shoreline again. Before the pandemic, before life reshaped everything, I once held space in my own studio.
Being here now isn’t going back — it’s moving forward with depth, resilience, and trust.

Famous soviet movie quote says: “Life only starts at 40”.
LOL
