Elements of Self Holistic Healing

10/21/2025

Join us Monday, October 27th from 6 - 7:15 pm to gently practice Yoga together in Cranbrook. There are a limited number of scholarships available for a limited amount of time:)

We began with a Recovery focus, yes from substance abuse and we'll continue that way though beautiful people are joining us recovering from a myriad of things not just substances. We're all addicted to something aren't we? In my humble opinion the traditional philosophy and practice of Yoga aligns powerfully.

These trauma informed classes are deeply infused with opportunities for self compassion and self reflection.

I facilitate such classes as well as other holistic practices at a local detox and recovery center just outside of Cranbrook for close to a decade. I've been facilitating Yoga for 25 years in various therapeutic and community spaces since 2000 with over 1000 hours of training and time spent in pilgrimage in India and well as North America.

Yoga literally saved my life. I've been in Recovery 25 years. I'd be honoured to share how Yoga can help with Recovery, Anxiety, the imprints of Trauma and Grief as well as how we can give back through the practice to the source energy that feeds us by whatever names we use. Thank You India.

Qualifier for attending a class is coming sober, that is all. Please DM me to let me know you intend to join us and for info on the sliding scale payment with the understanding that there is almost always a way for anyone regardless of the bloom of their money tree who wishes to attend to attend.

Address is 22 12th Ave N in the middle Child Development Center (across from Primary Urgent Care)
Look for the big yellow sticker. Bellies to Babies space.

There is a drop - in spot available for Tuesday, Feb 6th's class. Any wonderful local one wish to join us? We're having a lot of fun and aha insights connecting with ourselves, each other and especially the primordial creative source, the animating force that gives us all life. I'm enjoying this delightful challenge of distilling from the ancient and ginormous body of Yoga. ❤ DM me for details. ❤

It's been years since I've made an offering outside of Plant Circle, an 8 moon Plant Communication/Herbalism Program that's in its third year. I wonder who is out there these days in love with nature too?

A moment of thanks⁣⁣⠀
to the men in our lives,⁣⁣⠀
and there are many,⁣⁣⠀
(Thank god)⁣⁣⠀
whom stand up everyday ⁣⁣⠀
as solid fathers, partners, ⁣⁣⠀
and friends in these tumultuous ⁣⁣⠀
and somewhat toxic times.⁣⁣⠀
The ones who mind the babies⁣⁣⠀
speak truth to their people⁣⁣⠀
work for the long haul ⁣⁣⠀
gather strong and humble ⁣⠀
come to the table ⁣⠀
honor women like gold⁣⁣⠀
turn a listening ear before a defensive word ⁣⁣⠀
and are accountable for their desires⁣⁣⠀
and actions. ⁣⁣⠀
Thank you.⁣⁣⠀
We see you. ⁣⁣⠀
We need you.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
In the great turning, ⁣⁣⠀
there will not be room ⁣⁣⠀
for the uninitiated masculine. ⁣⠀
⠀
Learn from those who behave beautifully. ⁣⁣⠀

Still integrating an incredibly potent trip to Scotland & Ireland as well as a five day intensive exploring Death, Dying & Beyond with a beloved Herbal Mentor and Plant Spirit Healing Practitioner. I CAN ONLY COMMUNICATE IN PICTURES, LOL :) 😂

Also a helpful guide to embodying pleasant feelings...they too will pass so let's feel them as well...let's celebrate to the tips of our toes and perhaps when tension finds us we will have honed the skills to give it the attention it's asking for rather than the trillion other distractions available to us ya?

I love this. "Attention is the beginning of devotion."
Thanks to my dear sister for sharing 💜
