Humble Yoga

03/10/2023

Couples Yoga is now available 9:00 am Saturday mornings at Skyward Active Health Centre in Mallorytown.

Through physical touch and synchronized breath with our partner throughout the class we will help build a stronger connection, trust and better communication. Couples yoga can increase intimacy and even start new conversations.

The poses are yin in nature, that is, slow, deep postures that are not rushed and have a variety of options for every body.

Mirroring, matching, or moving in synchronization with your partner is a form of mimicry. Doing this with your partner has been shown to not only help couples form a deeper bond but also to reach a new level of empathy and understanding of one another.

Bring a yoga mat if you have one.
Wear comfortable clothing.
Come with an open mind and just have fun with it.
Breathe.

Just a quick note to let you know that my Skydeck Lane studio is closed now for the season. I'll be resuming classes at a new location in the very near future. There are a few locations I'm checking out between Gananoque and Ottawa but haven't nailed down one yet.

I'l keep you in the loop :)

A Meditation Retreat in Thailand proved mind opening. My life will never be the same. Thanks for the opportunity Ottawa Willpower Meditation Centre. Some photos from The Ancient City, one of the venues we visited. The brown temple was a great place to meditiate. I also like the architecture of the building.

So many changes and events this past year. Two certifications that will be finished (learning is never finished) this year. First is the Meditation Instructor Course...I never realized the importance of getting my mind under control. It's like herding cats or monkeys, take your pick.
Getting thoughts that were previously a waterfall down to a babbling brook is huge in my book. It all comes down to consistency and routine. I know it sounds boring, but the rewards!
My other certification is a bit of a pet project, Seniors Fitness Instructor. I say seniors but they all move and quite well too. I get to pick music, choreograph movements to exercise and motivate people...So much fun! Don't tell anyone but I pull movements from all styles of dance from salsa to bhangra and everything in between.

Anyways, just a quick little update, Stay healthy and get outside.

Yoga is like Open Source philosophy. It doesn't take you away from, it helps strengthen your personal belief system.
