After an entirely uneventful trip back to Montreal yesterday (kind of boring compared to August), the 2nd 5-day intensive of the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training began today. It was SO wonderful to see everyone in person again...it is such an amazing group of people, complete with homemade caramel from her grandma's recipe (thank you )!

I could never have imagined the winding path that the journey of 2025 would take and I am so, so very grateful! As I look ahead to 2026, I wonder where I'll be 1 year from now when I pause to take time to look behind to what was & to look ahead to what will be.

For the last 2 New Year's Days, I have hosted a retreat to help others be intentional as they begin another year. But since I'll be leaving for Montreal in a few days for more 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, time just didn't allow.

The studio is clean & ready for the Winter 2026 Term to begin just after I get back from Montreal and though there's other cleaning & packing to do, it feels right to take a moment to acknowledge the threshold of a new year as the calendar page prepares to turn yet again.

The year 2026 marks a DECADE for become-yoga in October. That overwhelms my heart with so many emotions! From waiting 3 weeks with no yoga clients to begin in 2016...to having 50 people through my home studio for yoga classes each week; markets & festivals to sell my crystal jewellery (which by the way, still makes my heart flip when I see people wearing my creations!); seeing healing through people open & receptive to Reiki; and a million other blessings that this beautiful business of mine has given me!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

For each of you that has walked this journey with me, no matter how brief or long (shoutout to my very first client who is still a client!)...I wouldn't be here without you 🙏

Finally, to my faithful sidekicks who have taught me what unconditional love looks & feels like; who have shown me how to slow down & have fun; and who have helped me savor the mundane & extraordinary moments! Thank you Izzy & Hunter for each step we've walked together and for each step yet to come 🐾🐾

SHIMMER - shine with quivering light

The final SANCTUARY Gathering of 2025 on the Winter Solstice turned out a little different than planned as a number of people were sick that day. Those of us in attendance each shared a shorter offering with a potluck for lunch.

It's always such an encouraging and uplifting day when we get together! Thank you for reminding us that WE are the One Thing that makes our business or personal life different than all others. Theresa Figurski shared a Kiya Kreya meditation and read a story about Jesus being a yogi.

After our potluck lunch, shared a story while we did some weaving (see picture 2); taught about the Highly Sensitive Person; led us in a powerful Sharing Strength Circle; and I ended the day with Flying Wish Paper as we sent off what no longer serves us or the intentions for what's coming in the new year.

Looking forward to the journey that's in store for this amazing group in 2026!

"We don't need to celebrate Christmas this year."

My words must have cut through Rob's heart like a knife. He knew just how important Christmas was to me and my words were fewer with each passing day, dealing with his mental illness. To articulate them out loud told him (and myself, in turn) just how close I was to the end of my rope back in 2018. So he said the only thing that could have changed my mind:

"We need to celebrate Izzy's first Christmas."

And so we both put on brave faces and celebrated Izzy's first Christmas with our many special traditions, not knowing it would be Rob's last Christmas. As the tears roll down my cheeks now, I am so thankful that we had that Christmas together.

Each year as I string the tree with lights, I can hear him retelling the story of how stressful that was in his own home as he explains, "Jesus H Christ Phyllis!" just as his dad did long ago. I hang each fair trade ornament we bought yearly, including the 2 I hung in 2019 as we celebrated separately for the first time. And then I hang all the handmade dog ornaments for the all the Christmases I've celebrated with my girls. Each ornament hung with love in celebration of an amazing life filled with both joys and sorrows.

My girls look forward to Christmas Day all year long. It is their favorite day because it's all about them - a day filled with gifts and toys and treats and naps together. I am so very thankful to celebrate Izzy's 8th & Hunter's 6th Christmas, hoping Santa Paws brought them just what they wanted...knowing they just want to hang out close to me (with a few treats and balls thrown in)!

CURRENT CLIENTS

This is just a brief snapshot of what 2025 has looked like for become-yoga...what an AMAZING year it has been!

From a variety of workshops including Floating Sound Journeys to Aerial ones; from Kids Yoga to my regular yoga schedule; from markets to Reiki; and of course Yoga puppies!

Current clients always have the FIRST opportunity to join become-yoga's offerings, whether that's a spot for the next Yoga Term to workshops, Boutique sales and everything in-between!

There are 3 times in the year when you can become a current client: December, March & August. And the best way to find out about these offerings is to sign up to be added to my email list. After current clients have signed up, I email the entire contact list before posting on social media (which means some events don't get posted online at all).

Head to the website

www.become-yoga.ca

and go to the CONTACT ME section to request that your email address be added to my list...just in time for all the details of the Winter 2026 Term! And who knows what offerings 2026 has in store (if 2025 is any indication, it should be another AMAZING year)!

CHAIR YOGA

I am considering adding a 2ND Chair Yoga class to the Winter 2026 Term IF THERE'S INTEREST. So, if you or someone you know would benefit from this gentle yoga practice PLEASE CONTACT ME BY THIS SUNDAY.

Chair Yoga incorporates the key elements of a traditional yoga class - asana (poses), pranayama (breathwork) & meditation (relaxation) - all while seated.

These classes are open to all mobility levels and all ages (13+). No previous yoga experience is needed. All yoga props are provided with the main prop being a folding metal yoga chair. Each class begins with a warm up and then we either work from the head down to the toes or vice versa. Currently most of the practice is seated and we are slowly working to incorporate standing poses where the chair is an assist for balance and stability. This gentle practice provides time to look at specific joints that may be overlooked in other classes while also exercising the muscle that is the brain. Please note that there are stairs to access the studio.

The 10-week Winter 2026 Term runs from Monday, January 12 - Monday, March 23.
