Let’s face it, we’re in the depths of Canadian winter, and finding bright spots can feel tough AF. Being FOR one another, sharing a smile, and even the smallest compliment can help others endure the long, grey days. Sharing your heart changes the world for the better.

This mindfulness exercise helps us get in touch with the “here and now”. Most of our anxiety and worry lives in the past or future, so taking a minute to reset, by noticing the breath NOW, helps to temporarily alleviate stress. Try it.

Join Amy on Saturday, January 31 at 1 pm for a 90 minute practice that will improve strength, coordination, balance…and (possibly) get you moving toward being upside-down.

This workshop will incorporate skills and drills, and work to improve mobility and flexibility through mindful flows in a focused effort to bring weight into the arms.

Class CHANGE-E-ROO

Jenn, Tori and Amy are making things interesting in 2026. Paying attention? Tuesdays at 9:30 am are switching to Yang Yin with Jenn, and Wednesdays are switching to a Vinysasa. And if that wasn’t enough change for you, Tori will be teaching on Wednesdays for the month of January, until Amy takes over the Wednesday 9:30 m class FULL TIME in February. Phew - that was a lot.

Well...that took a turn....🐕

In the meantime, why not join Jasmine for “Ribcage Reset”; a 75 minute workshop all about your body and your breath. This class invites you to explore how your ribcage moves, expands, and supports your breathing in both movement and stillness. January 22 at 8 pm.

Ever have a moment laying in savassana where you remember a significant event you had been fighting to remember FOREVER? Or maybe you finally find clarity on a problem you've been wrestling with?

Those little epiphanies, or SHA-piphanies are gifts for giving yourself the time and care you so obviously needed.

They say (who the f are “they”) that the pose you dislike most, is the one you most need. Whether it be a barely there backbend, a long held chair, or a forward fold that moves MAYBE a millimetre, we all have poses that disagree strongly with our bodies.

Which is yours?

Extended side angle dives deep into the groin, and lengthens through the side body. It’s also a STRONG pose that requires focus and breath. Don’t forget to drop the lower glutes toward the Earth so you give BOTH sides of your body some space. And we implore you to try the variation with your knee on the Earth…it’s juicy.

Not all Holiday traditions are awesome. In fact, as joyous as the holidays are for some, they are equally as complicated for others. This season, keep in mind that we are all just trying to navigate the human experience together.

Whether it be Mariah Carey, or the Count from Sesame Street, everyone, over the years has had an answer to the age old question.

Join Robin on the shortest day of the year; Sunday, December 21 at 7 pm for 108 sun salutations. Let’s honour the coziness and slowness of the winter, knowing that very soon, the light will return. Take this class at your own pace, and enjoy a VERY long and well deserved savasana at the end.
