January Karma Class: Gentle Beginnings đż A Practice for the Nervous System ⢠Mental Health â˘
Coming Home to Yourself
January can ask a lot of us â new starts, expectations, pressure to âreset.â This 60-minute karma class offers something different: permission to soften.
Designed as a reduced-heat, gentle practice, this class weaves together slow, mindful movement, supportive breathwork, and intentional pauses to help calm the nervous system, ease mental overwhelm, and reconnect you to your inner steadiness.
This is a space to land, breathe, and tend to your mental and emotional well-being with compassion.
EXPECT:
â˘Slow, accessible movement
Nervous-system-soothing breathwork
â˘Moments of stillness and reflection
â˘A deeply calming, grounding atmosphere
This practice is less about doing and more about being â a gentle return to yourself.
⨠$10 per class â 100% of proceeds donated! Eagles Nest Association
Your presence not only supports your own healing, but also extends care outward to our community through this karma offering.
Come as you are. Move gently. Breathe deeply. Begin again â softly.
Signup online or with our app - you can find this class on our regular schedule!

Our Yoga practice gently reminds us that HUMILITY isnât about shrinking ourselves - it IS about softening the ego and listening more deeply.
Itâs the moment we stop forcing the pose and start honoring the body we are in TODAY.
It is the practice of choosing presence over performance, breath over comparison, curiosity over control.
On the mat, HUMILITY looks like bending the knees, resting when needed, and honouring yourself exactly where you are.
Off the mat, it becomes kindness, patience, and the wisdom to know we are ALWAYS learning.
Yoga teaches us that true strength comes from SURRENDER.
And that GROWTH begins when we bow - not when we push.
𧥠Practice humbly.
đ§ĄMove honestly.
đ§ĄBreathe deeply.

Donât rush the bloom.
Root, ground, be still - so that we can slow down, conserve energy, and nourish whatâs unseen.
On the mat, this looks like grounding through the feet, softening the breath, and honoring stillness without resistance.
Yoga reminds us that growth doesnât begin with forceâit begins with foundation.
Just as nature rests beneath the soil in winter, our practice invites us to strengthen our roots before reaching upward.
Longer holds. Deeper breaths. Presence over performance.
As we move through the winter toward spring, the work we do now becomes the lift later.
When we root with intentionâinto the body, the breath, and the present momentâwe rise with more ease, stability, and clarity.
This season, donât rush the bloom. Let this be your intention.
Root deeply.
Trust the timing.
Rise when youâre ready.

đđźââď¸About your Nutrition Coach Jackie Gaulton Mindfully Choosing Wellness
âI am very excited to be part of your February 2026 - thank you for trusting me to be part of your wellness journey! If we have not met, I am an E-RYT 200, E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher, Barre & Sculpt Trained Instructor and most importantly for our purpose, I am a Precision Nutrition Certified Coach. I believe in whole health and wellness - that all body systems will work optimally as the result of a combination of these three things;
1) Yoga for connecting mind, body and breath - reducing stress and encouraging self-awareness,
2) Movement & Fitness to get the heart rate up, build strength with weights and resistance training and move the body in ways that keep joints mobile and healthy, and
3) Good Nutrition Habits to find and maintain an optimal, healthy body weight to promote overall well-being. 80% of your wellness comes from this!
As a 13 year breast cancer survivor I personally believe in, and have experienced the positive benefits of, practicing yoga, staying active and making healthy lifestyle and nutrition choices, and can't wait to share what I am most passionate about with you as we FEEL BETTER in FEBRUARY together!

The Yogashala opened in 2013 and Waterdown was the first choice for a location due to its growth and potential. Yogashalaâs vision was always to provide a safe, supportive and humble environment for the community, all members, teachers and staff. We wanted to break down the walls of intimidation that may come with beginning a yoga practice and stepping into a studio setting and so the personal experience that you feel as you come into Yogashala has from the beginning been the most important tool in succeeding the vision of creating a judgment free space.
We strive to be a place where you come to feel good and leave feeling even better, that happens because of the personal and hands on guidance you will receive and we achieve this due to the fact that Yogashala is not a large company, we are not a franchise, we are not a conglomerate; we are here to share our passion and our lives with the Waterdown community. We want Yogashala to be a close knit, personal, and comfortable place to come hang out, practice yoga, make new friends, and have a supportive environment that is always available to you. We make huge efforts to learn everybodyâs name and build personal relationships and connections with each and every person that enters through our doorsâŚprovided you want us to learn your name :)
From the beginning everyone who has been involved in Yogashala has opened their hearts, minds, and their lives to share everything with you, the staff, teachers and energy exchange volunteers are the root of this studio and we hope you will love us and our studio; we know you will!! We are in the business not only of yoga and wellness but supporting other local business in Waterdown; that has been an important part of our vision from the beginning because we want to help maintain the âvillageâ feel of Waterdown by shopping and supporting local!
Where can you find us?
In keeping with Waterdownâs full name âVictorian Village of Waterdownâ, we found the perfect spot! Right in the heart of Waterdown is where you will find us. You can find us in the newly built, but Victorian style building, at 312 Dundas Street East in the lower level. In our space you will find 3 yoga rooms with one being an infrared hot room, another room having the Iyengar Rope Wall System and the third room is a regular temperature room that most often facilities the Barre classes. We offer a full service studio with shower facilities equipped with everything you need for after a class if you choose and an array of complimentary offerings if you so need!
Our mission is to give you the inspiration to live a happier, healthier life. To give you the knowledge and guidance to help you with your own transformation. To give you the motivation and encouragement to reach your destination. The perfect time to join us is now. We work in our converted and restored space. We started from the ground up and you can too. I hope to see you there!
