🌟Cultivate your energy in 2025🌟

As we transition into the new year, I want to share with you one of my favourite practices these days. It’s the energy cultivation system called Qigong. I first learned it in Chinese Medicine school twenty five years ago, and have since rekindled my love for it. Qigong is a wonderful movement tool you can add to your self-care and healing practices, helping you unblock and circulate your energy flow.

It’s also one of the few practices you can do when you’re injured or not feeling well; I always feel both calm and energized after practicing it!

I’m starting a new online five week series that’s pay what you can in January, if you’re interested in joining see bio for sign up details.

🌴WINTER RESET 🌴

Are you in need of a mind-body reset?

A retreat is an amazing way to hit the reset button by temporarily stepping away from the regular day-to-day responsibilities of our lives and taking care of the needs of our body and spirit. We do regular yoga, movement and meditation sessions, eat delicious food, play, rest, go for walks, swim, and enjoy nature. This brings calm to the body, which allows the mind space to expand. Then we come back into our lives with this fresh perspective and renewed energy. We have more to give back to our life, work and relationships because we’re not trying to pour from an empty cup 🫗😬

☀️The 2025 Mexico Winter Retreat is February 1-8, and we’re down to our last couple spaces so grab your spot now. More information and sign up link in my bio.

"Humans! My good pal Scott Davis Holistic is an absurdly talented yoga teacher and movement teacher and martial arts grappler and Chinese Traditional Medicine healer and just hanging around him is a master class in being human. I wish we could come to his retreat in Mexico this winter, but it's too insane travelling with kids under 4. Hopefully that won't prevent YOU! If you're looking for a getaway, I can't recommend Scott's retreat highly enough. Plus Mar de Jade is gorgeous, and ... beach." - Jeff Warren

Engaging in things that put you out of your comfort zone, challenge you to find the playfulness in stressful situations and be more creative and adaptable as things unfold in real time is hugely enriching and something that makes me feel happy to be alive!

This weekend I had the honour of receiving my purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from my couches JM and Matt at . This is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done, and also one of the most rewarding.

I can’t say enough positive things about the atmosphere of learning, camaraderie and community that they foster at the gym, making it both hard and joyful at the same time. A supportive training environment makes all the difference when you’re facing your fears and doing difficult things.

Thank you to all my training partners and coaches for pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping me grow everyday.

On this day, 21 years ago, my life changed in the deepest possible way with the arrival of these two incredible souls.
and , nothing could have prepared me for how much love, joy, heart opening, and pride I’ve felt in witnessing the two of you grow into the fine young humans that you are. It is truly a great privilege to be your Dad ❤️

PLAYFUL MOVEMENT JAM
In this class we'll discover how play nurtures curiosity, deepens listening, sparks creativity, fosters adaptability, and strengthens cooperation. We'll take our practice beyond our yoga mats as we cultivate neurological resilience, improve communication, and translate our movement practice into diverse contexts. Some topics we'll explore playfully: coordinations, locomotion patterns, body communication, task based movement situations.
The only prerequisites for this class are a sense of curiosity and a willingness to play!

Tuesday, July 18th 7-8:30pm

Hey Victoria! Join me for the next Master Class this Saturday where we’ll dive deep into safe preparations and progressions for the “king” and “queen” of the asanas… headstand and shoulder stand.

I love these postures! They feel both fun and therapeutic. But there are no two postures with more controversy surrounding them! I know many teachers and practitioners who have simply stopped doing these postures, which is a shame because although there are risks associated with doing them, when they’re approached with respect and care, they can be very beneficial and empowering.

Really looking forward to this workshop.

ASANA MASTER CLASS 🤩ca 

Getting excited about this Saturday's master class exploring the fundamentals of effective arm balancing poses.

We’ll start with a deep dive into our push-up position (chaturanga dandasana) because of how often we do this movement in vinyasa yoga, and because it sets a solid foundation, limiting the risk of injury and building capacity for more advanced movements. We’ll look at key preparations for the wrists, shoulders and core that lead to effective progressions in all arm balancing postures. 

At a deeper level our practice becomes more advanced when we master the fundamentals.

In this class because we’ll be working progressively, all levels of experience are welcome! 

See link in bio to sign up for this workshop or the Master Class Series. 

Date: Saturday, February 25, 1-3pm 

Cost: $40
