Embrace the Night: Candlelight Slow Flow to Sleep

With Melissa Freeman

Begin the year not with resolutions or rush, but with rest.
This New Year’s Day, step into a candlelit space of warmth and quiet to embrace the night—an invitation to slow down, soften, and honour the deep stillness that precedes renewal.

Through a gentle, mindful flow that dissolves into yin and restorative postures, you’ll unwind tension, release the old, and create space for what is yet to come.

Suspended by powerful music with the soft flicker of candlelight you will be eased toward deep rest—aligning body and spirit with the natural rhythm of darkness and rebirth.

Let the first evening of the year be one of softness, reflection, and surrender.
A slow, soothing journey home to yourself.

All levels welcome. Bring cozy layers and an open heart.

January 1
5:30 pm-7:30 pm
Price $44

Hands on Assist Training

With

Hands on assists can help students understand the alignment of the pose for their own bodies. Learn how to discern what is needed to help them gain awareness, proper alignment and perhaps go deeper.
Whether you’re a teacher looking to assist your students in the standing series or a student looking to understand how to do the poses correctly in your own body, this workshop will benefit you.

DAY 1 - Adjustments 101 & The Standing Series (4-5 Hours)

Creating a safe space for our students and ourselves is the most important task we have as yoga teachers in a class.

We’ll start the weekend discussing different methods for asking for consent, the difference between adjustments and enhancements, how to move around the room with confidence and different ways we can remain grounded as we teach.

Next we’ll go over poses in the Standing Series. We will cover the poses in the sun salutations as well as the standing series: triangle, side angle, warrior 1 &2, revolved chair and lunge and more.

DAY 2 - Inversions & Backbends*

Inversions and backbends can be powerful poses to teach us about ourselves. This workshop will break down the fundamentals of these poses along with how to assist your students confidently as the explore this bigger postures.

If you have requests for particular poses, please let me know on your registration form.

Day 3 - Review and Application*

We’ll spend the day going over all the adjustments and refining how we approach and come out of each of the assists.

January 9-11

Friday Evening 5 pm-9pm

Saturday/Sunday 9am-2pm

Investment $300+GST

*Saturday & Sunday will start with a 2 hour yoga practice so you can experience the hands on assists and how to build towards peak poses in a live class.
