🚨 Eclair needs your help!!! 🚨

Eclair is having a really hard time in the shelter and needs out immediately! We're urgently looking for a forever home where she can finally relax and feel safe 🏡💕

This sweet girl was found as a stray and is incredibly affectionate. She’ll gently swat at you just to ask for more pets and belly rubs🐾💖. She’s been very nervous about leaving her kennel and is overwhelmed by the shelter environment.

Eclair is searching for a home that is calm, patient, and understanding 🕊️. Her history with other animals and kids is unknown, so any introductions should be slow and supervised. If you’ve been waiting for a tender-hearted companion to love, Eclair is ready to meet you 💘

Fill out her adoption form here.

We are almost at the end of another month!! The weeks seem to be flying by and before you know it we will be celebrating Christmas!
This is another full week of yoga with no class adjustments. I appreciate everyone that was able to shift their time from the Friday class to the Thursday.
As I suspected I was incredibly tired from the evening prior. We had such a good time performing and although we didn't win the contest we won because of the publicity, and even got some great contacts to keep sharing music. That is a huge win for me!

Here is this weeks schedule:

Monday Yoga with Weights 4:30pm
Tuesday Hatha Yoga 8:45am and Pelvic Floor/Somatic movements 6:15pmWednesday Yin Yoga 4:30pm
Thursday Yoga with weights 8:45am
Friday Chair Yoga with weights. 9:00am

As always these classes are all drop in, and can be in the studio or streamed at home through Zoom.

I hope to see many of you!!

Good Evening Yogis!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I spent mine in the Kananaskis with a whole bunch of women playing guitar, singing, teaching some yoga and enjoying some amazingly nourishing women supporting each other no matter our level of experience. Weekends like this fill my heart and remind me deeply of how many wonderful people there are in this world!

As a few of you might know I also play guitar in an amazing female celtic folk band called The Whoopsie Daisies.
Well, we did a thing! An amazing thing and we put ourselves into a Star Search in the Olds Radio station and we ended up in the top 5!!!
What this means is we will be performing in a Battle of the Bands this Thursday evening at Tracks Pub in Olds. If you want to come out and support us we would love to have you in the audience!

Due to this there is a schedule change for this week only.

I will be there quite late so I am moving my Chair Yoga Class to Thursday at 10:45am. The following week it will be back to Friday at 9:00am again. I

hope that works for the majority of you. Sorry for the change, it is temporary.

Monday Yoga with weights 4:30pm
Tuesday Hatha Yoga 8:45am and Somatic/Pelvic Floor Yoga 6:15pm
Wednesday Yin Yoga 4:30pm
Thursday Yoga with Weights 8:45am and Chair Yoga 10:45am
Friday No Classes

As always all of these classes will be in the studio as well as streamed over Zoom

I hope to see many of you this week!

Good Evening Everyone!

I hope you weekend was a wonderful one. I just finished watching a spectacular sunset out my windows and am in awe at how beautiful that slow scene plays out. Taking the time to witness such beauty, to remind me, us, whoever that the world is full of wonder. We just need a moment like that to remind us to slow down and appreciate what is in front of our noses.

This week is a shorter week. Tuesday is Remembrance day and one that I hold very deep in my heart. I will be spending my day in deep thought as I remember those in my family who went to war, those who still serve in the Canadian Forces who would put their lives on the line for us to be able to live in the best place in the world.
I am very grateful but always know that what we have is still incredibly fragile. Take a few moments on Tuesday to look at what an amazing place we live in and try to let go of those that would lead us to believe otherwise.

Here is this weeks Schedule:

Monday Yoga with Weights 4:30pm
Tuesday NO CLASSES
WEdnesday Yin Yoga 4:30pm
Thursday Yoga with Weights 8:45am
Friday Chair Yoga with weights 9:00am

As always the classes are in the studio and streamed live over Zoom
Hope to see many of you this week!

Happy Sunday Yogis!

The joyful days of changing the clocks back! I say that dripping with sarcasm. Those of us that have any fur creatures who do not understand what time changing is, let along a clock will know the struggles! Hopefully all of you have remembered the change before Monday morning rolls along.

This morning one of my wonderful students shared an incredible Youtube video with me. I'm sure all of you know how much I love studies and how science backs what we feel in our bodies when we move. I'm going to share it with everyone and if you have 15 extra minutes there is so much wonderful information on how we age and how to keep ourselves in our homes feeling strong and confident.

What I love about this video is that we already incorporate all of these movements in our classes, in particular the Chair Yoga class. Have a look and let me know what you think. Studies like these can give us a reason to move when we are feeling like not, and these simple movements can potentially keep us from needing a care facility.

THIS IS HUGE!!

Good Evening Everyone!

I hope you are all well and this email finds you well. Lots going on this week in the studio plus the start of the new Pelvic Floor/somatic movement class. I am very excited to put all of my focus on this subject into one class. I am hoping that many of you will feel the benefits of regularly working a part of our bodies that has been hushed, silenced, though of as something that is taboo to talk about, and to see how empowering it is to acknowledge how important this part of our anatomy is.

Here is this weeks class schedule:

Monday Hatha with weights 4:30pm
Tuesday Hatha yoga 8:45am
Tuesday Somatic movement and Pelvic Floor Yoga 6:15
Wednesday Yin Yoga 4:30pm
Thursday Hatha Yoga with Weights 8:45am
Friday Chair Yoga with weights 9:00am

All of these classes are live in the studio as well as streamed over Zoom

I hope to see many of you this week!

New Class!!!
This has been a long time coming!

Along with my regular drop in classes I will be adding Somatic Movement AND Pelvic Floor Yoga together on Tuesday evenings starting October 28th.

This is a very gentle class which requires no experience. It is wonderful for Every Body whether you are flexible or not, are experiencing discomfort in your body, or not. This is an amazing way to recovery or to keep your body and mind in a neutral place.
I can not wait to share this with everyone!
All of my drop in classes are live in the studio or accessed at home via Zoom.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Good Evening Yogis!

I hope everyone had a restful weekend. It was nice to finally spend some quiet time at home catching up with all of the Fall chores and taking moments in between to reflect on the past couple of weeks.
I find it is so important to sit with grief and to feel it, breathe through it until it passes, then do it all over again maybe moments, maybe hours later. I have no answers as to the why's, or how's, all I know is that for myself if I bury grief and try to ignore it, it will definitely present itself in a not so constructive way. Everything that we practice together is so incredibly helpful to go through this process.

We have a full week ahead of us with plenty of time to get ourselves to our mats.

Also you will be getting one extra email this week as I announce my new class on Tuesday Evenings. That has gotten pushed to the side for a short period of time.

Monday Hatha with Weights 4:30pm
Tuesday Hatha Yoga 8:45am
Wednesday Yin Yoga 4:30pm
Thursday Yoga with Weights 8:45am
Friday Chair Yoga with (or without) Weights 9:00am

I hope to see many of you this week!
