Nidra Before Bed Sundays in November

I had the absolute honour to be taught the Yoga Nidra portion of my teacher certification by Tanis Fishman (www.schoolofsankalpa), now a dear friend. I have attended many Yoga Nidra offerings, and her teachings remain the most powerful for me, resonating deeply on a soul level. My classes will follow the structure Tanis has taught me.

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation.” It’s usually practiced lying down with a yoga teacher guiding the session. The goal is for the body to be completely relaxed while the mind is awake and focused inward. During the course of Yoga Nidra, you learn to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep, where your body finds its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) and the breath balances and becomes quiet. Practicing Yoga Nidra can improve sleep and memory, reduce stress and anxiety. (Beverly Davis-Baird, MA, e-RYT200/RYT 500, C-IAYT)

This practice isn’t just about relaxation; it’s a map of awakening. It guides you through the layers of your being and offers the opportunity to transcend unconscious patterns that may have been operating in the background of your life. You will be gently led into states of deep stillness, expanded consciousness, and inner peace—each time, returning to the clarity of your true essence. Yoga Nidra is a practice of remembering. (Tanis Fishman, Mystic Editor and Founder of The School of San Kalpa)

Every year, I get to host a very special social group of young ladies with varied abilities. We got lucky this Saturday before the snow came, and had a great class outside with all the beautiful fall colours and the horses holding space for us. Noble, my Andalusian mare, was literally so excited, and followed me everywhere as I set up. Feeling very grateful to be on this path and to share all my resources through passions that fuel my soul 🧘🏻🐴❤️

I’m no Gillian Michaels or Tracy Anderson, but I do OK for 51! And I want to share it with you (because it’s boring to work out alone!) It’s MY method and it combines yoga, Pilates, and a bit of strength training! It’s definitely never boring, and I hope will challenge you, but at the same time, I don’t want you feeling intimidated because going at your own pace is a must. I think I’ve worked hard enough to create an accepting community if not anything else! We’re here to move through it together!

These classes are Thursdays from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM on September 18, 25th, October 2, ninth, 16th, 23rd, and 30th.

Cost is $126 for all 7 classes, or you can do a drop in at $25 per class however, you must email in advance to make sure there is space or reserve in advance if you know which dates you can make.

I swear my mare Noble is magical ✨ As a matter of fact, this photo was taken yesterday. She’s actually smiling in it. She wanted to join up with the young moose in my yard. To be honest with you, I think the young moose also wanted to play with her. It was one of the most peaceful encounters I’ve ever witnessed. Noble connects to all spirits. For this offering, she came to me in a dream...

Starting in October, Noble and her two herd mates, Will and Justin, are inviting you to join them in some personal reflection time. It is a guided series happening on Sundays from 1 to 2 PM, and despite being in a group, you will be immersed in a personal experience. At this time, it is important for us to remove ourselves from the energy of the collective in order to hear our own intuition. There’s a universal shift asking that we forge a new path together at our highest vibration!

This is the perfect offering for individuals needing to gain a new perspective on a straightforward issue or needing to reframe a more difficult situation requiring a profound shift in consciousness. Only you will know what you are hoping to get clarity around, so you can move forward with joy. The Horses and I will help you 😉🐴❤️

As this is a type of meditation, I am offering it to my Yoga community!

Address: 25013 Township Rd. 254, Calgary Alberta, T3R 1A2. The property is located off of 12 mile Coulee Road, one minute from the Rocky Ridge Coop.

Marianne Disipio is The Backyard Yogini!

On top of being a registered certified and insured Yoga Instructor with the Canadian Yoga Alliance, Marianne is also a Wellness Therapist, and does Equine Therapy! In fact, her classes are done in front of the horse paddocks! What a view!

Marianne has dedicated her career in helping others find inner calm through challenging life circumstances. She calls it learning to find comfort in the discomfort.

Yoga has been one of the most effective ways to do this for herself in her own life, and so she wants to share this teaching with you! Although yoga is mostly valued for its’ physical benefits, what it can do for your life on a soul level will blow you away!

If it’s not transformational, it’s not really yoga!
