Hey Friends! I’ve started a new insta over .r.a.c.e_and_g.r.i.t I’ll be sharing what I’m up to in my mostly professional world over there. Anything to do with where I’m teaching prenatal yoga and Mom and Baby yoga and where and when you can sign up for the Orillia postpartum support group. I am open for business in the birth doula world and looking for a client for the spring. Offering private group and individual yoga sessions in your home or for an event. Please give me a follow to stay connected. ~ Rebecca

Dear Friends,

I have made the hard decision to let The Holding Space go. I am so grateful you all came to let her hold you. I am sad to leave the space, but as we all know most endings lead to new beginnings. I am hopeful I will be able to continue offering to the community when I have regained some strength and courage and will once again hold space for you all within my heart whenever I am. Please be patient with me as I navigate leaving her walls. The schedule is sparse right now as my energy and capacity to give is slim. But I hope you will come and use up your passes with what I am offering through the summer. We will be offering classes until the end of September.
Mel will be offering a pop up kids class July 15 and 16 and a potential 4 week season in August, prenatal yoga begins July 16th through to the end of August and Monday night gentle stretch will run from the 15th through to the end of September. Keep an eye out for more offerings through the summer and September.
Hope to see some of you this weekend at Mariposa Folk Festival. I’ll be teaching once again at the interactive stage at 10am, Saturday and Sunday morning.

In gratitude,

Rebecca

Happy Monday everyone! I’m riding the high of coming off a weekend having offered a beautiful, mindful based practice with the women who attended Unplugged with and , a retreat to disconnect to connect. Our theme was permission to arrive. To be here now. We acknowledged that it is actually work. That it can feel uncomfortable to be still. That it takes time to settle and that we are not broken if sitting still causes feelings of wanting to get up and run. We are so conditioned to strive, to achieve and to prove our worth that slowing down, unplugging and allowing the discomfort to settle feels like a failure when in fact it is a huge win. When we finally do settle, there is peace, calm and a remembering of our true nature, joy. Let’s carry this over into the week. I hope to see you on the mat this week to settle into some stillness. 💗💗💗

I am still basking in the glow of a perfect spring/Mother’s Day weekend.
🌸🌸🌸
I reflected on the number of women in our community who I have had the honour of witnessing cross the threshold into Motherhood. I am so grateful to be part of your mothering journeys.
🙏🏻✨💗
I hope you were all able to take the time to acknowledge what a beautiful paradox it is. Losing yourself, finding yourself, feeling empty, feeling fulfilled, being soft, being strong. A constant dance. It is so beautiful to see you all.

Now come hang out with me this week on the mat so I can snuggle your babies and give you a chance to move your bodies. 🤱🏼💗✨

With Mother’s Day on the horizon, I’m feeling nostalgic and grateful for all the Mothers, babes and kiddos that I have had the honour of serving at The Holding Space, many of whom have come to mean so much to me. Hope to see you on the mat one way or another this week. Reminder that prenatal yoga begins this week. xo Rebecca

Happy Monday my beautiful friends! I’ve just returned from an epic family holiday where I thoroughly soaked up the sun, ate incredibly fresh avocados and mangos none stop, was reminded of the beauty and vastness of the ocean’s power and just spent time with my family and friends, watching our kiddos bond and take in another culture. I can’t wait to see you back on the mat this week with some renewed energy to give. ✨💗🙏🏻

Where we hold space for each other to feel life.

The Holding Space provides a container for the journey of raising a family. It begins when a Mother comes to prenatal yoga. Comforted by being amongst other Mothers journeying on a similar path, she is able to create friendship and community for the future. She is able to share what she is afraid of and what she is looking forward to. She is able to prepare her body and mind for birth. The opportunity to hire a doula, a birth coach, is available to her at The Holding Space. After she births her baby she is able to come back and continue the journey with Mom and Baby yoga, where she can begin to heal and regain strength and ownership of her body. She can once again hear the words of other Mothers saying “I can relate.” She can continue with crawlers and tots and preschool yoga programs when the days are long. The time will come when she is able to go to a class on her own. To rejuvenate and sweat out what being a parent means. Eventually allowing her child to practice yoga themselves in the kids’ yoga program we offer called Little Warriors. In this program we offer levels of achievement, which we have named ‘lotus levels’ so it becomes a program kids can participate in like swimming, karate or dance. The whole family can participate in the family yoga classes The Holding Space provides as an intergenerational activity. As the children grow, they can participate in the tween and teen programs that focus on emotional inquiry, confidence and leadership. It is a space where cycles occur. Where the journey is celebrated. Where we hold space for each other to feel life.
