Q: How do we experience inner peace?
A: By touching it.

The only way to touch it is by going through a journey to reach it first. This is how we experience it. We use our bodies, our breath, and our awareness. We move, we breathe, and we pay attention. There are a million ways to reach inner peace, but only one way to touch it. The journey we take uses the tools of Yoga. We listen to how the body responds in different postures (Asana). We notice what it feels like to move from one posture to another (Vinyasa). We feel how body and mind respond to the breath throughout the practice (Pranayama). In the end, our physical chemistry shifts, and we become capable of surrendering body and mind into stillness. It is here that we find inner peace. We touch it. And we remember. What do we remember? That is personal. It’s a secret. You need to do the work to find out. So come and find out for yourself. We practice tonight at 6:15pm.

You are warmly invited to pause with us.

As the Winter Solstice approaches, we arrive at the still point of the year.
The longest night.
A quiet turning where something completes, and something new begins to stir.

In a season that asks for more doing, more giving, more noise, this gathering offers something else entirely:
a pause that matters.

This Winter Solstice ritual is for those feeling stretched thin by the holiday rush.
For those who sense the body pulling inward while the world pulls outward.
For those who know, quietly, that rest is not a luxury but a form of medicine for the soul.

We will work with helichrysum, a plant known for its capacity to bring light to places long held in shadow.
Together, we will dig for gold in the darkest depths.
Honouring what has been lived.
Listening for what wants to emerge.
Welcoming the returning light, not with force, but with care.

These gatherings are ever evolving.
For those who have joined before, this is not a repetition but a deepening.
For those arriving for the first time, you are warmly welcome exactly as you are.

Words from participants on previous seasonal rituals:

“Thank you for such an enlightening ritual.”

“It was such a beautiful experience, somewhat magical. Such positive energy.”

“It was surprising and truly remarkable, with weeks of lasting effects.”

If you feel the quiet urgency to stop, to listen, and to tend what has been growing unseen,
you are warmly invited to join us for this Winter Solstice gathering.

The class is completely free and open to everyone, but please reserve your spot in advance as the space is limited. It’s my hope that you leave the class feeling both strong and relaxed, and ready for the day!

✨As the year softens to a close, join Jite for two quiet Wednesday evenings of Yin.✨

A space to listen.
A space to feel.
A space to let the body speak.
Healing begins with how we relate —
to our experiences, our thoughts, our emotions —
through simple, steady presence.
Come.
Let’s end the year by returning to ourselves.

Join me for Inner Peace Yoga this evening

In this class, you’ll be gently guided out of your head and into your body — moving mindfully, in sync with your breath, through powerful yoga postures.
Some shapes are soft, some are strong, but every one of them is powerful in its own way. You’ll feel it each time you pause, hold, and breathe into a pose.

Between postures, we flow. Think of it as a moving meditation or even a dance. And as you flow, you will be able to enjoy moving through the space around your body, around your mat. During this time so many things are happening inside the body. We can try to find words to describe it, but sometimes we are just better off just experiencing it. A simple feeling of somthing wonderful is happening within the body is the only signal we need to focus on this Thursday class.

At the end of the practice, after activating the whole body and releasing what you’ve been carrying as stress in the body, we rest. This is where the next part of the journey begins: A deep, quiet experience that can’t quite be described… only felt.

Lately, patience has been the quiet teacher in my practice. ✨

Yoga keeps reminding me that growth doesn’t come from forcing or pushing - it comes from softening, from trusting that body and mind open in their own time.

In the past I believed that certain poses just weren’t meant for me. I would meet them with frustration and resistance, hoping for a progress that barely seemed to come. But slowly and quietly - through breath, repetition, and by letting go of the expectations for something to happen - something did change.
Backbends for instance. They have always been one of my biggest struggles. Until one day I showed up to class and the pose that once felt so impossible suddenly felt natural, no more resistance.

That’s what I love about Yoga, it’s teaching me to stay present, and to let transformation unfold naturally. ✨

Marie’s Hatha Flow classes are now at 10am on Tuesdays!

“To support the best physical and energetical outcome of practice, the character of classes changes throughout the day and throughout the year with seasonal changes.
It is a real privilege to get the feeling of what is changing around us and get inspired straight from mother nature. To sit on soft ground let the wind take over your hair, dissolve breath in the air, inhale and exhale. Even just for a little moment remember and live the unity - the yoga.”
Marie

What’s your favorite pose to end class in? If Shavasana doesn’t work for you, there are so many other poses to choose from.

1. Regular Shavasana

2. A bolster under the knees for a more neutral psoas and an ease for the lower back.

3. Add a pillow or a blanket under the heals to feel like you are floating.

4. Stonehenge pose to fully rest the lower back on the mat.

5. Sulabh makarasana if you’re not able to rest on your back.

6. Adding a pillow under your hips for ease around the pelvis and belly area

7. Side lying if you’re not able to rest on your back nor belly (f.ex. during pregnancy). Resting head on upper arm and supporting both knee and ankle with a bolster.

8. Adding a pillow under your head and bringing the lower arm behind you for extra comfort.
