Speaking of classes! I have two yoga therapy series starting next week at Nanaimo Yoga Sanctuary - 170 Bird Sanctuary Drive
Both are $75 for 6 classes or $20 drop in (if space permits)

See below for more info and dates!
🌴 🌊

Yoga Therapy for Back Care
Tuesdays, March 3rd - April 7th
7:15-8:30 pm

Back Care yoga therapy focuses on the core-4; diaphragm, pelvis, deep abdominal and deep back muscles while focusing on regulating your nervous system. By moving slowly with breath you can work within your daily capacity with increased awareness of your needs.

🌴 🌊

Yoga Therapy for Hips, Knees and Feet Thursdays, March 5th - April 9th
7:15-8:30 pm

In this class we look at nourishing and gently building stability into our hips, knees and feet by drawing awareness to our fascial lines and keeping the nervous system zen. Each class will involve foot care and myofascial release.

Yoga therapy is trauma informed and is accessible for all levels.
Yoga therapy is for every body!

Both classes are in person or online (Zoom) and each class is recorded and emailed out after the class. So you will never miss a session and can practice throughout the series on your own.

See you soon!

Hola a todos! Rahim & I have transitioned from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen. We are safe and well!
We hope that the state of Jalisco and surrounding areas/states return to calm and peace.
🌊 ☀️ 🌊 ☀️
I am teaching yoga and aqua classes for a Canadian company I have been working with for over 17 years. However, yesterday marks my first class where I taught in Spanish!
I had to have a little laugh because 16 years ago I was teaching in Costa Rica and barely anyone spoke english. Each night I would desperately study my little book of Spanish so that I could teach more coherently. 😂
This began my journey of learning a new language. I am not fluent, but I have full conversations and understand more and more each time I travel.
Big abrazos 🤗
See you all soon 🙏

I often do short videos for clients that usually are heavily edited due to cat interruptions. 😆
Today I strung together a few of the segments with cat
involvement.

I meant to post this the other day! Rahim came home with this little gift from a patient. Apparently they wanted to make my logo as well before they realized we now have the same logo ☺️
I just love it. 🥰
It is now hanging in the kitchen until we find a nice way to hang it in the home office.

About once a year I try to create some photos for posters and classes because no one wants to infringe on any copy rights 😬
And each year one of my kitty girls sneaks into a photo! Cutest, little photo bomber around 😆

We have a few more in person spaces for the Summer Cool Down series 🌅

This one is going to be fun!

I have been dreaming up weekly class themes for the past 3 weeks and have received such great inspiration from people I get chatting with about body, breath and observation.

Starting next week on Tuesday, July 8th at Nanaimo Yoga Sanctuary from 7:15 - 8:30 pm we will share our practice and cool down together.

The series will be recorded as well as on Zoom so you can attend from home.

After this series Rahim and I leave for Haida Gwaii to work and play for a month and will return at the end of September.
