Listening to music helps reduce anxiety and stress, improves mood and pain tolerance, and also helps boost memory. 😌

Music also triggers the release of dopamine, a “feel-good” neurotransmitter, especially from familiar or pleasurable music. ❤️

🎶 Sometimes you just gotta turn the music UP…and tune OUT the world around you.

Join Melanie and Barrie Risman for a special fundraising event!

❤️ Coming Home to the Heart will be an uplifting and accessible, all-levels practice that nourishes body, breath and heart.

The class will include postural practice, breath work, deep relaxation and heart-centred meditation. All bodies and experiences are warmly welcome! The class will conclude with live, soul-nourishing chanting during Savasana, featuring Jacqueline from Santovas. 🧘🏽‍♀️

All the proceeds from this heartening evening will help to support Santovas Foundation, an organization that provides underserved children and youth in Montreal - and the surrounding areas - with year-round, trauma-sensitive, mindfulness-based programs.

Come home to your heart and help support an important cause!

You can feel it in the crisp air: the weather is chillier, days are shorter, and leaves are falling. 🍂 🧥

In the blink of an eye, it is mid-autumn and the winter holidays are just around the corner. 🗓️ 👀

Although this ‘transition’ season is filled with beauty and inspiration, it is not all pumpkin spice lattes and cosy sweatshirts (although they help!). 🧦☕️

Some of us struggle with low mood, and this is when we need to remember the importance of self-care. 🥰

If you find yourself dealing with the autumn blues, here are some tips to try, to keep your spirits up through the season. 🍁❤️
