New yoga class announcement 📣

I’m teaching level 2 Iyengar yoga class at Pathway yoga studio every Tuesday at 12:30

If you’re in Ottawa and have enjoyed my alignment focused style you’ll love this

In a Level 2 class, you will have an opportunity to develop your inversion practice—a great tool to strengthen the body and expand the mind!

Yoga asks us to consider interconnection through personal experience and offers a path that motivates us to touch life with self-understanding and self-acceptance.

No matter how flexible or rigid the outer body appears, genuine yoga is about the union of mind and body.

The truth is that it doesn’t matter so much what we do, but how and why we do it.

The postures, the sequences, the meditations can become mechanical, even stale if we practice with a narrow frame of mind.

Join me in practice of this wisdom tradition to unveil the innate inner wisdom of body and mind one breath at a time 🌈🧘🏻‍♀️ 🌞

Oh hi! Happy saga Dawa -…it’s also my birthday

In the past year I finished my masters in counselling, psychotherapy and spirituality …..

AND I became a certified Iyengar instructor

Becoming an Iyengar teacher is a commitment to yoga that takes between 3-5 years of daily practice and significant study!

I’m so lucky to have several incredible mentors in my life and today I’m grateful!

In celebration of the Buddhas enlightenment I’m reminded that the Buddha’s luminous mind is inseparable from the nature of your mind!

May all beings be free 💗

What is karma? The Buddha taught that while we each have accumulated karma from previous lives as well as from the present one, karma is mutable.

Every moment is an opportunity to take positive action, to think, speak, and act in a skillful way that will lead us away from the clinging and delusion that keeps us mired in suffering. In other words, we can work with our karma to ensure a better future.

New moon Aspirations for now and beginningless time 🌈

“May I be a guard for those are protectorless; A guide for those who travel on the way.
For those who wish to cross the water,
May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge.
Until their every sickness is healed,
May I become for them,
The doctor, the nurse, the medicine itself” - Shantideva


Inspiration here from Shantideva’s text - the way of the Bodhisattva

“You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.”
