Richard is passionate about moving, and moving well. The start of all of his Saturday morning classes include a “little blurb” about moving a specific part of your body in an efficient and optimal way.

His 9 am Power Flow makes getting up early on a Saturday easy peasy - you won’t ever be sorry you did. Just make sure to pre-book your spot; his classes tend to sell out.

Join Robin every Friday at 11 am for a 6 week workshop designed to help you get back on your mat. Bring your little bundle long, and practice in a safe, supportive, and like minded environment. Parenthood can be overwhelming, and we want you to be prepared so please keep in mind that the studio is a feeding friendly, crying friendly, diaper change friendly environment. Like life, it’s sometimes messy, and oftentimes beautiful. Space is limited, so book soon to save your spot

We have the MOST generous cancellation policy in town, but, the onus is on YOU to cancel. Emails, voicemails, texts (as much as we love connecting with you), they don’t count, as we can’t guarantee that we always receive them within 60 minutes of class. Log into your account, and click on profile to see your booked classes, and cancel easily from there.

Your nervous system NEEDS to rest - without sufficient rest, your body will break down due to either injury or exhaustion. Visit any one of our MANY classes meant to restore and reset your nervous system - you body will thank you; Yin, Restorative Yin and Nidra, Restorative Yin Yang, Hot Stone Restorative, Meditation and Restoration, or Mind Body Bliss.

Recently, we gathered our teachers to share our thoughts, experiences, and to reinforce what it means to teach from a Trauma-Informed perspective. Trauma-Informed teaching is an inclusive approach to instruction, focusing on safety, empowerment, and agency rather than just physical alignment. It uses invitational language, and offers choices, allowing EVERYONE to reconnect with their bodies. Don’t get us wrong, alignment is also important to us...but there is no “perfect” form, or hierarchy of yoga poses.

The power in yoga comes from the privilege of having choice.

Most people think they’re afraid of falling out of a handstand…
but honestly?

The real wobble usually shows up way earlier, right in that moment when your weight starts to shift.

Amy breaks down how to get comfy with those little transfers so the big upside-down stuff feels way less scary.

Her four go-to steps will have you feeling steadier and more confident in no time.

Handstand Prep, Practice & Flow with Amy is coming back to our workshop schedule in late Spring , stay tuned for details.

Do you know someone who’s always wanted to try yoga, but doesn't know where to begin?

Join Jenn on April 8th at 6 pm for the beginning of a 4 class, small format workshop series that will familiarize you with the physical practice of yoga. Jenn will blend her passion for teaching yoga with her 20 years as an RMT to help you create opportunities to explore poses with openness and curiosity, learn about the use of props, and empower you to choose how your practice unfolds.

Amy is new to Halifax but DEFINITELY not to teaching. She owned her own studio while living in London, Ontario, and has an incredibly deep love of all things yoga.

Her classes focus on details, and creativity, and if you ever get to take a class from her on handstands…DO IT - they are her passion.

Find Amy every Wednesday morning at 9:30, and every Thursday at 5 pm for Vinasya Flow.

If we had a quarter for the amount of times this has actually happened over the past decade, we could retire. AND, it’s okay. It’s literally Tori’s job to “take care of that”.

Questions about memberships, transferring classes, software woes, class recommendations.
Text, email or call - she’ll take care of that.

We’ve all been guilty of pining away for days gone by; whether it was the ease of youth, a special person in our lives, a knee that didn’t click in a squat (just me?).

This quote is not political, it is the plain truth.

Memories can be beautiful, but if we get stuck in them, it harms our ability to enjoy the present, and our willingness to step into the future.

Yoga is a practice in being present - meet yourself on your mat.

Join Michelle on Saturday March 28 from 4-6 pm for “Recovery from Burnout” - a workshop designed to support students feeling chronic stress or burnout, and also those who have a hard time experiencing “rest”.

Using slow, grounded movement, breathwork, Yin and Restorative postures, as well as a guided Nidra, this class will safely and thoughtfully help build your capacity for rest and relaxation.
