Yoga With Joyce

For those living with Parkinson’s disease, exercise is more than just staying active — it’s a key part of managing symptoms.

Regular movement can help improve balance, mobility, strength, mood, and overall quality of life, and may even help slow the progression of symptoms.

But the benefits begin long before diagnosis. Building a habit of exercise earlier in life can support brain health, resilience, and overall function, helping the body better cope with challenges if they arise.

Locally, Parkinson Society Newfoundland and Labrador (PSNL) offers a wonderful support group in Corner Brook, with a variety of exercise programs, guest speakers, and educational workshops for individuals and their carers.

For more information, feel free to message.

I shared this reflection in my yoga classes yesterday, and it seemed to land gently with quite a few people. Sometimes it helps to be reminded that all parts of life—the highs, the lows, and everything in between—belong.

I wanted to share it here in case it meets you exactly where you are today 🩵

I’M A BIG FAN OF WOMEN

I’m a big fan of women who snort when they laugh.
Women who overshare awkward truths when the conversation stalls.
I’m a big believer in singing loudly in the car whenever possible and I love pulling alongside a fellow diva doing the same.
I’m a big fan of women who love women,
who spot loo roll on the shoes and help each other out,
when Mother Nature calls.
I’m a huge believer in comparison being the thief of joy,
that dimming someone else’s light, won’t ever make yours shine brighter.
I just can’t get enough of those women who are unashamedly themselves, in technicolour glory.
I’m a lover of laughter and those moments when the tears start to flow, give me life.
I think the best therapy, is quality time with a friend who listens without judgement.
I’m a big fan of women who break, who share,
who rebuild each other and cheer them along the way.
I’m grateful for this world half-full of fabulous females,
I see you all.

Thank you to everyone who joined chair yoga classes yesterday. My heart is so full for such a turnout despite in these bone chilling temperatures.

In times that feel uncertain, creating moments of peace matters. Yoga, in any form, offers that space—to breathe with intention, settle the mind, and calm the nervous system.

Our March series is now underway. Message me if you’d like to join us for the remainder of the month.

I’ll also be sharing a few simple breathing practices this week that you can gently bring into your day at home.

We don’t just come to yoga for the stretch…we come for the connection. Take an hour to breathe, move gently, and be in good company.

Sometimes the best decisions are the ones we make on a whim. If that’s you today, come along—you’ll be warmly welcomed. Message me or simply join us for Chair Yoga today at 2:15 pm at the Dance Hub, 31 Wellington Street. 💙

You don’t need to be flexible to begin. Yoga simply invites you to come as you are, and to move gently from there.

There is no comparison here, no judgement—
just a quiet space to breathe, stretch, and feel supported.

A new 5-week CHAIR YOGA class begins tomorrow afternoon.
If it feels like the right time, message me to join.
