Hi Folks, my apologies, I’ve totally ignored this page since having my daughter last year.

I am Medicine, watch me Heal” is my mantra, my purpose and my philosophy. “I am Medicine” is a reminder of how gifted and powerful we are to heal; it is our potential to heal, grow and change.
I believe in the power of our inherent knowledge and collective conscious to thrive as healthy, strong people and communities. I choose Health and Healing,
“I am Medicine, watch me Heal” is the philosophy from which these classes are offered and upon which I’m leading my life. My hope is folks feel reminded of their power every time they live this philosophy.
Born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, I live in Oneida with my partner and our daughter, Malala. I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces and getting to know new ones.
Sincerely
Cara Russon

PSA : due to the current Health climate I’ve had a few ques I’d like to answer for all of you
1. Classes continue as usual schedule
2. Class size will go down to 9ppl / class
I’ve rearranged the room to allow for only 9 mats 3 rows of 3 to provide a two foot distance around each person - the distance required to be immune from another’s ‘respiratory droplets’
3. Water station no longer offered - bring your own full bottle
* obvious statement re : hand washing and staying at home if sick / contact with anyone sick *
4. Hands on adjustments, therapeutic touch as well as hugs and handshakes won’t happen ☹️
5. Class sign up required < 24 hrs in advance for adequate spacing and set up see (see #2) * no penalty for canceling < 24 hrs *
6. Mats / props / weighs Soak mat after class 8-10 sprays - leave out to air dry - spray and wipe blocks, balls, weights. No straps during this time.
My mom has sterilized everything over the weekend
Your health and the health of your family is my number one priority - these extra steps are my actions to do so. Any ideas, questions or info please ask or share below
If one of us has a question or concern then several of us do
Community, honesty, Communication and awareness will give us the tools we need; your adoption and support is appreciated

thought for today :
"Now I welcome vulnerability with arms wide open. I allow vulnerability to be my greatest asset because it’s something most people are afraid of. Most people are afraid to pour their feelings out and put them on display for the world because they are going to be judged and critiqued, but from being vulnerable it has taught me to not give a f**k"

Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice which originated in ancient India (sixth century BCE). Yoga has been studied and proven to promote relaxation, reduce stress, increase general health and wellness and improve chronic health conditions when practiced safely and frequently.
Yoga can be individualized to your needs: from physical therapy to treat an injury to a vigorous regimen for increased athletic performance. Whether you’re 7 or 97, a professional athlete or just starting your fitness journey, yoga can get you out of pain and performing at your fullest potential. Yoga is for any body and every body.
