E-RYT 200 YACEP The way we think and perceive our bodies, minds and circumstances become our truth.

Welcome to the home of YINstillYOGA…
My passion for yoga began over 15 years ago and so far, during that short journey, I have found that through yoga, we have the ability to make positive changes in our life. And it is in the practice of yoga where we learn to support, love and nurture ourselves, practice self-care each day for our minds to find balance, our bodies to harness strength, and our hearts to be open. For over 10 years I have been studying and practicing yogic wisdom – a body of knowledge on how to have a full and expansive yoga practice... physically, mentally, emotionally. Over the years, my amazing teachers have taught me much, including how to pass this wisdom on. It is through this knowledge that I empower everyone in class to learn and to grow… making yoga accessible for us all. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned yogi, my classes offer a space in which you can deepen your practice and draw upon your personal needs. I offer an all-levels Hatha Yoga class, which is the practice of physical postures, designed to align, balance and calm your body, mind and spirit. I also offer a Yin Yoga class that compliments your active life – a passive, meditative style of yoga that cultivates stillness and embodies physical and mental spaciousness with longer held poses. I teach weekly public classes at The Lewis Center in downtown Courtenay as well as special series classes at The d’Esterre House in downtown Comox. Welcome and Namaste.

A Gesture of Offering
This simple yet powerful gesture unites the left and right hemispheres of the brain — bringing balance, presence, and deep concentration.

Lean your hands into one another, like angel wings.
This is not a gesture of asking.
It is a gesture of offering.

Raise your hands above your head.
We offer our practice to all those who came before us — our teachers, our lineage, our ancestors.
Through this gesture, we connect, honour, and express gratitude.
We offer up what weighs on us so that we may move forward with clarity.

Hands to the third eye.
We offer this practice to the wisdom of life itself.
May those seeking guidance, understanding, and insight find what they are looking for.

Hands to the lips.
We offer this practice to the power of our words.
May we speak with kindness, knowing our words can heal or harm, uplift or diminish.

Hands to the heart.
We offer this practice to the well-being of all beings.
May those in need of love, safety, food, or companionship feel held by life.
May this gesture remind us of how deeply connected we are, and how much we have to give.

This passage is from The Inspired Yoga Teacher — a guidebook of meditative language, class themes, and reflections for modern yoga teaching.

Let your classes become offerings.

“Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.”
– Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back
Yoda’s wisdom can serve as reminder that the best way to prepare for the future is to ground ourselves in the present. While it’s not always easy, our yoga practice can support us in that journey. Take some time today to ground yourself where you are (whether it be Earth, Tatooine, or Hoth) and

As a dog lover, I’m not alone in believing these creatures have important knowledge to pass along to us humans. With this in mind, I want to discuss how aging affects your body and bring to your attention some recent evidence from the scientific literature on how stretching–and Downward Dog Pose...
