H A P P Y S P R I N G E Q U I N O X (a couple of days late)

TBH spring has never been my favourite season 🌱🌸🌼🍃 As an introverted xcountry skier, I'm hesitant to give up the comfort of hibernation, and the rich, warming foods of winter ☕️🥞

Ardha chandrasana (half moon) is my glory pose to honour the changing environment this week ☀️🌓 For me this asana harmonizes the strange mix of sluggishness and restlessness that comes with the melting snow. Steady breathing coordinates the rooting of the standing leg with the upward unfurling of the opposite limbs.

Warming, stimulating, uplifting and still grounding, this posture helps me feel more graceful in transition. At least that's the intention I practice with 😜

(Also there’s a tent in the living room because we’re preparing to ski the Cottonwood Trail this weekend 😎⛷🐶❄️⛺️)

☀️Spring sunshine is lighting up the studio after a difficult couple of months ☀️ During the lockdown I struggled with stress, decision fatigue, loneliness, frustration, and several weeks of lost income. Thank you everyone for your patience with the schedule adjustments. Many of you sent kind words & encouragement that truly uplifted and sustained me 🥰 A few of you donated your credit for the canceled classes to share the burden of lockdown. I am so grateful for all of you 🙏

Class sizes are increasing to 10 people starting March 29th. A couple of spaces have opened up in the lunch classes, if you’ve been hoping to join! 💖 See the full schedule and details here: naturalblissyoga.ca/in-person-classes/

I’m excited to turn the page and embrace the season of new beginnings ✨🌻🌼🌸🌱

See you on the mat 🧡💛💚

Floor time is play time if you're a pupper 🥰 He likes to clean my toes while I practice 😊

Preparing for Winter Solstice (only 15 more sleeps) with some gentle yoga and this beautiful poem by Victoria Erickson

"What is a night?
A night is shadows,
a night is darkness.
A night is campfires
and candlelit rooms
and silent, rising moons.
A night is
sudden cravings
or habits
that grip you like a fist,
daring you to listen,
to bring them out of hiding,
to be seen,
to be heard,
to be felt,
to be lived.
Breathe in this night
as it reveals
what your days
will never offer,
or give.
Somewhere inside of you
something aches to be heard,
and perhaps by you alone.
The scenery may change.
But not this."
- Victoria Erickson

Thank you so much to everyone who was a part of the in-person sessions at Grace Space this fall! It has been so wonderful to connect with you throughout a very challenging time for our species

Enjoy this short, 35 minutes version of our Yoga Honey Routine. This is a routine the Eoin created several decades ago as a modification of the Ashtanga Prim...

Registration is open for the next 6-week session beginning Oct. 19th 🍃🍁🍂

Hooray for autumn! For bright colours & the smell of sage, and for dramatic skies that sweep in change (that almost rhymed 😜)

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂🍃 equal parts day and night ☀️🌗 balancing of light & dark, activity & recuperation, dispersed energy & quiet intimacy 🌟

Align with this season by cultivating steadiness, grace and balance as the winds bring a shift towards winter 🌫 This is a beautiful time to focus on gratitude for the harvest that sustains us through the months of introspection 🌰🍎🌻 What will you clear out to make space for this harvest? What old stories and patterns need to be discarded so that nourishment can be gathered and digested? 🍁

Registration opens this week for more yoga sessions leading into Winter, so watch for the next newsletter soon 😊😘

Something amazing happened!
Practicing this week, breathing deep through the challenging core activation and rooted connection to both feet, my arms began to blossom from prayer hands to extension for the first time 😊🌻

I've always loved this revitalizing posture, and feeling my body lead the way to something deeper in the moment, something beyond what I had felt many times, was a radiant experience. Yay yoga!

Can't wait to be back on the mat with all of you starting Tuesday 😊🙌🍂

Autumn is vata season: cold, windy, light, rough & mobile. Change is brought in on the breeze. It's a time of harvesting nourishment to store in our deep in our tissues for the dark & introspective winter months 🍂🍃🌻 What growth have you been tending to this summer that you are reaping the results of now? What seeds will you take the time to preserve for planting next spring?

This week I'm pulling together poems, sutras and alignment cues to build sequences with intention for our September sessions. Can't wait to see you all back on the mat!

Classes are filling up, register while you can 😘

Back in town after a much needed break in the Tombstone mountain range, away from cell & internet service🏞🏕🌾🌲🌼🍂

The soft earth and hearty mountain flowers gave us long stretches to walk in a meditative rhythm - so peaceful & healing to the mind! We also walked over large rocks & jagged mountain passes with a heavy pack that challen6hed us to cultivate strength & endurance.

An epic 6 days of nature immersion, carrying our essentials and leaving no trace. Happy to be home now 🏡

Registration is open for the fall, and classes are filling up 😊 So stoked to see you back on the mat 💫💖🙌
