LOVE MUSIC? 🎶🎵
LOVE TO SING?🎤
LOVE YOGA?🧘‍♀️
LOVE FREE AND FUN STUFF TO DO? ⛔️💸 🥳

If you answered yes to any of these questions, make sure to head over to this Saturday, July 26th, for a light-hearted and fun musical yoga class!

The farm is hosting some amazing local musical talent this coming Saturday, and in honour of our love of music, we are going to start the day off with the most fun you have ever had in a yoga class!

We will sing, practice, and even dance if the mood strikes you.

We will definitely not take ourselves too seriously.

And we will have the MOST fun practicing outside in the fresh air, with views of plants and flowers in bloom, and the gorgeous waters of Lake Simcoe as our backdrop.

No registration is required.

The class has been generously donated by the farm, so it is absolutely FREE.

And every level of practitioner is welcome.
Modifications and enhancements are given.

We can't wait to see you there!

We had a lovely day walking together for a cause near and dear to our hearts last weekend.

We just want to say THANK YOU all so much for all your support!! 🥰

We got a late start fundraising, but your generosity quickly raised $538 for Chron's and Colitis Canada.💶

This was our first time walking, and Fox was a little nervous at first, but he quickly realized how many people are affected by IBD, and even though this disease doesn't define him, he felt a connection and the call to keep on helping.

So we will do it again next year, but next time we will have our own team t-shirts! 👕

Some of them were so funny, but I wasn't able to take pics of them all.

Thank you all again ❣️❣️

My first giveaway!!🎉

And I have to be honest.
This was not my idea.
I have thought about having a giveaway for a while, but I just didn't get around to it.

So why now???
Well, after our last Saturday class (**classes are now being held on Wednesday evenings from 7pm - 8:15pm**), I received an email from one of the beautiful souls that attended the spring session

In this email, my new client expressed to me how much they loved our classes and how practicing yoga has had such a positive impact on their lives; physically, mentally, and emotionally,
and that they were so happy to finally find classes that resonated with them.

They want more people to benefit from these classes, and in the spirit of giving back, they have donated a full Summer registration!

I have added on an extra 2 classes (not nearly as generous as my client, but we do what we can), so we now have 14 classes to give away for our summer session which begins June 11th!

This person wishes to remain anonymous, but you know who you are and how appreciated this gift is❤️

So, if you feel called to come and try out our Yoga in Nature classes, all you have to do is the following:

Tag 1 friend who you think would benefit from a yoga class in nature (I mean, who wouldn't??), and let us know in the comments what positive impact yoga has had, or what you think yoga will have on your life.
If you win, you will receive 2 free classes for our summer session!! ($46 value, plus some much needed self care🥰)

Entries from my insta will be combined with entries from Clearwater Farm's socials, and the winners will be picked (staggered) over the next 3 weeks.

Easy peasy!!
Good luck, and I can't wait to see you all next Wednesday!

❤️

I think we have officially begun Spring!! And the weather has finally caught up to the season!

When the weather is good, there is no excuse not to get outside.

I am all for going to the gym for your heavy lifting days or to utilize machines if you need the support, but if you can ride a bike, walk, run, or Rollerblade outside instead of using the cardio machines at the gym, DO IT every time!

Our bodies, minds, and resilience grow stronger and thrive in ever changing environments.

Wind 🌬, hills ⛰️, water 💧, all of these elements add inconsistent resistance to your workouts that you won't get using machines.

This forces our bodies to work more efficiently, engaging muscles we may not use when working out in a more static way. It also encourages us to tap into our resilience and mental strength to push up that hill or to keep our pace when the wind is against us, and these things make us stronger in both body and mind 💪🧠.

You also get the very BIG added bonuses of sunlight 🌞in your retina👁 (regulates your circadian and diurnal rhythms, which help with hormone regulation and much much more), fresh air in your lungs🫁, and a view that is so much nicer than looking at CP24 on the TV in front of the cycling machines. 🤪

So WHENEVER you can choose outdoor workouts (yoga, cardio, jumping on a trampoline, swimming, and bodyweight workouts can all be done very easily outside).

What is your favourite workout? And will you be doing it outside this week?

On days like this (cold, dreary, grey), it is sometimes difficult to find the joy.
There have been sooo many of these days lately, and yesterday I bottomed out!!

But today!!

It started out as the worst of lot! I had enough and was feeling kinda low. I didn't even really want to teach my class this a.m., which never happens, but my back is strained, and I now have tennis elbow (Thank you Menopause 😵‍💫). I was tired and sluggish, and not really sure how I was going to move my poor abused body.

But once again, yoga and our kind, loving, accepting, real, and honest little community saved the day, shook me up, and re-opened my eyes to the beauty that literally surrounds me.

Sharing, laughing, moving our bodies, giving it our all, breathing deeply and together, the song of the birds, and even the greenhouse that we practiced in (which we thought might have been a disaster but turned out to be awesome!!) lifted my spirit, and I came home and saw all the beauty that is my life.

I would have added pics of my kids, but they didn't let me 😔, and we were so into our practice we didn't take any pics of the grenhouse...next time.

All this to say very heartfelt THANK YOU, to those special people I am so proud to be able to know and practice with every week.🩷❤️

And also a thank you to for holding beautiful and welcoming space for us to have our Yoga sessions each week🩷💚

And my wish is for all of you to see the beauty in your lives, even though the Grey, and to find that spark of Joy in the little things today❣️

Happy Saturday, friends

On June 1st, Fox, Chloe, and I are walking for a cause that changed our lives forever.

At just 6 years old, my son, Fox was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. In a moment, our world changed. It was overwhelming, frightening, and at times defeating, but we refused to lose hope.

Through years of research, trial, and unwavering love, we have found a path that has helped him thrive — not just survive.  By nourishing his body with the right foods, supplementing wisely, practicing yoga and breath work, and giving Fox the tools to deal with stress, we’ve seen his symptoms disappear and his light shine brighter.  His diagnosis has gone from moderate/severe down to mild, he has not had a flare up since the original one, his meds are the mildest he can be on, and we will not give up until Fox is off meds, and living his best life free of Ulcerative Colitis and the fear of flares.

Initially, and for a number of years, Fox was embarrassed to talk about his disease. He felt he WAS his disease, and he felt that something was wrong with him.  He developed some anxiousness and did not want me to talk to anyone about his UC.  

Now, we’re joining the Gutsy Walk not just for him but for every family going through the same battle.

We’re walking to raise awareness, inspire healing, and fund the research and support that others so desperately need.  Fox wants to use his experience to help others know that this disease is NOT who they are.  That this disease can be managed and eventually beaten.
Since being diagnosed Fox has climbed mountains in Africa, learned how to surf in the Philippines, he has travelled the world and will continue to do new things, and inspire people, especially me😍.

Please consider donating to our team — just click on the link below -- to help fund research, provide support, and help other families navigate their way to living healthy lives.

This week's Strength Series Yoga class is all about the side body. Though we use our side body muscles to stay upright, and to twist and turn, they are sadly neglected in our workouts. So this Saturday we will lovingly stretch and strengthen the forgotten muscles of our sides, releasing emotional tension held in the area, and engaging all the stabilizing and supporting muscles. Head on over to the website to register. https://clearwaterfarm.ca/yoga/
