“Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.” B.K.S. Iyengar.

Yoga Conditioning special class Tues March 10th 7-8:15pm
In this workshop I will guide you through an alignment and strength based asana practice. We will use various exercises to align the body and mind and to encourage physical strength and mental resilience both on and off of the mat. Breath and music will be used as a tool to overcome self-imposed limitation, and to bring a sense of joy to the class. I encourage those who want to strengthen their personal practice or who want to work up a good laugh and a sweat to attend.

Love, Maggie

is in the house tonight for her last class before maternity break! Enjoy a class with her beautiful leadership and expert guidance. 💜🙏
If we’re lucky she might even make us sweat a bit!

07/28/2019

Anyone know this guy? He was last seen running out of the hall with our yoga props...... He might live in the area and must REALLY like yoga!

Just kidding, Matt is one of our regular yogis and was helping out last week when we had an outdoor class. We seized the day and took advantage of the warm sunshine.

Special thanks to the lovely for sweating it out with us! Great class. 🌸

Hoping for another warm week ahead. Join us. Monday’s at 6:30, Tuesday’s and Thursday’s at 7pm.

Introducing a special class series called “Critical Alignment Therapy”. Starts on July 3rd!
Join Shelley Bishop, Critical Alignment Specialist & Yoga Instructor for 6 weeks at Parkhill Yoga.
http://parkhillstanleypark.ca/index.php?src=gendocs&ref=Critical_Alignment&category=Main

Critical Alignment Therapy (CAT) is used to reduce or eliminate pain and discomfort in the body and is an excellent tool for anyone who experiences chronic pain in the hips, shoulders and/or back. It helps to break through movement restrictions and restore mobility by bringing balance back to the skeleton.

By focusing on the skeleton, we develop alignment at the deepest level, breaking down tightness in postural muscles and the myofascial line, allowing for free and easier movement. Through this process we also become better able to support our movements; initially with concentrated effort and focus, and over time habitually. This supports ongoing, pain-free living with the know-how to quickly resolve any pains that may develop or redevelop over time.

Meditation & Movement with at Parkhill Yoga

In my classes I aim to weave the physical practice with music, laughter, mindfulness, and most importantly, love. I will challenge you to move through the asana practice skillfully and ask that you trust yourself enough to move from a place of intention rather than one of habit. From one yogi to another, I would be honoured and delighted to share my practice with you.

In honour of all the amazing “Mom’s” out there who no doubt deserve to be celebrated, we will cancel our regular Sunday class this weekend to wish all the women who support and nurture us, the very best Mother’s day. From our sisters, friends, grandmothers, Mother-in Laws, and all those who’s loving care have helped shape our lives, we give pause to show our appreciation.

Yoga is inclusive. That’s the point: Accept yourself, accept others, breathe, love, stretch. But it doesn’t always work out that way. The great irony of yoga is that so many people feel shut out from it. Jessamyn Stanley’s yoga-for-everyone approach works because she delivers it without platit...
