Yogacara Whistler

Wondering which classes can help you play in the deep snow and recover quickly? Here are some tips from 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Hatha, vinyasa, and power will train your legs, core, balance (proprioception), endurance, and your mind to handle the deep stuff 🌨❄️ postures like chair (utkatasana), warrior 2 (virabhadrasana ll), and balancing asana are particularly helpful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ after a powder day, you need a yin or restorative class. Why? To relieve tired muscles, release tension, and soothe your nervous system after an adrenaline filled day. Your mind will also appreciate the opportunity to relax and go inwards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you've enjoyed some time in the snow, it might be time to book your next practice 😉 see you on the mat 🙏 what are you focusing on? ⬇️

When you practice, we want you to foster a caring relationship with yourself. This means making sure you feel safe, seen, and supported. This is why we:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔ use consent for hands-on adjustments 🙌
✔ never take photos/videos of you in class 🚫📸
✔ don't care if you have the best gear, the most flexible body, or a "yoga body" (whatever that is)
✔ encourage using props
✔ want you to challenge yourself from a loving place. Sometimes that means physically, other times it's standing up to that voice in your head and allowing yourself to do less 🧘‍♀️

This is why a Yogacara yin yoga teacher training should be on your radar...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ you'll be lead by an exceptional teacher—Andrea Nacey—with vast knowledge and experience (12+ years) who will support you every step of the way 🎉
➡️ a peaceful space honouring the roots of the practice and a training that goes beyond the asana (postures)
➡️ small classes that guarantee you the attention, feedback, and confidence you deserve to support your growth 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many trainings fill up mats, focus too much on asana, and leave you feeling like a number. We seek to change that narrative by offering a high-quality, exceptional experience, that gives you warm memories for years to come.

Has your yoga practice ever helped you stay calm during frustrating situations? 👋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perhaps your initial knee-jerk reaction is to blow up but instead, you take a deep breath so you can speak with clarity. Or maybe someone else's actions trigger you and instead of getting angry, you seek to understand and have compassion for them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's great to have flexible hamstrings and for your lower back to feel amazing yet sometimes, our yoga practice does a lot more. Double tap if you've felt these shifts 🙏
