It’s that time of year again 🍂 where we naturally want to slow down, ground, and rest. The fall is a transitional season from the fiery Yang energy of the summer to the watery Yin energy of the winter. It is a time of letting go and shedding all that is no longer serving us. Join me for this yoga series to release stagnation and invite in more spaciousness.

This season I am offering a

The lovely will be covering my practice Sept 18-28 in Comox while I head to the Kootenays to unplug and connect with family 🌲

✨Follow link in profile to book online. 60 minute massage and later in the day appointments available!

Alannah is an RMT, yoga instructor, Reiki practitioner & Traditional Chinese Medicine student

She is a multi-passionate practitioner who is here to help guide you back to your physical and energetic body through therapeutic touch, energy alchemy, and guided embodiment. As a Registered Massage Therapist, her sessions are a unique weaving of techniques such as Craniosacral, Swedish massage, and Trigger Point Release/Acupressure which encourages you to deeply relax, feel relief, and allow for your nervous system to shift into a receptive and easeful state. She targets the physical imbalances within your body's holding patterns and offers a more holistic approach in facilitating each session as an inward journey, creating a safe, calming, and intentional space for you to return to the subtle communications and messages stored deep within your tissues.

I feel so good about leaving my practice with Alannah. You are in good hands! See you in October 🍂

☀️Summer is such an exciting time! It’s quick, hot, bright and active ~ the full expression of Yang. Our energy is moving outward, often in many directions.

💧’Restore your Yin’ is an opportunity to come back to centre, that still place within. To find balance in this fiery season. A moment to pause and drop in to a deep sense of calm so we are resourced and ready for the next celebration or adventure.

✨What is your Nervous System asking for?
✨What does your body need?

✨Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy prioritizes bringing the Nervous System back into balance. Once we are in a regulated and relaxed state, deeper healing and unwinding can happen. We are trusting the intelligence of the body, that it knows what it’s ready to let go of and resolve. The healing power of relational touch and presence is profound. It’s amazing what can occur when we feel safe, held and witnessed.

✨As an RMT, I combine Craniosacral with Massage Therapy. The manual work helps to release tension and promote grounding and embodiment, preparing the body to surrender into the subtle energetics of Craniosacral Therapy.

✨I feel grateful everyday to be holding space for you all in this way. If you have any questions at all, please reach out. I am accepting new clients and have a few openings before the end of the month.

An 8 week series to support your ✨Spring Awakening✨

✨ Gentle Flow into Yin ✨

We are moving from the most Yin time of year (Winter) to the most Yang time of year (Summer). The Spring is a beautiful dance between Yin and Yang. Light and Dark. Movement and Stillness. As the light re-emerges may we intuitively find our way back to Movement while also remembering the importance of Stillness.

This Gentle Flow into Yin series is here to nurture your Spring Awakening and honour this time of rebirth and new beginnings. We will slowly flow with our bodies and breath to get the chi circulating and ease our way into deeply nourishing Yin stretches.

I would be honoured to share this practice with you 🧘‍♀️ I hope to see you there!

❄️ Winter is the most Yin time of year. There is a depth to this season that invites us to connect to the core of our being and process unexplored emotions. When we attune to the energy of the Winter, this deeply nourishing Yin time gives us the energy and vision needed to re-emerge with vibrancy and inspiration

🤍 Yin Yoga is an intuitive and meditative practice, a time for us to reflect, breathe and cultivate mindfulness. With gentle movement and stretching we nurture our bodies, circulate chi and release old stagnant energy and emotion out of our beings. We intentionally create space and rest now so we may flourish in the spring 🌷
