💕Special Event💕

Join Bonnie for this 2-hour immersion of Yoga, Marma Massage & Reiki

If the pace of life has left your soul feeling weary, consider this a sacred pause to call your spirit back.

Join us for an evening of self-love, blending the stillness of restorative yoga with the ancient practice of Marma Massage and the gentle healing of Reiki.

As you settle into deeply supportive postures, we will use soft, intuitive touch to stimulate 3-4 of your body’s vital Marma points—the intersections where mind, body, and emotions meet. This massage acts as a bridge to the nervous system, shifting you into a deeply restful state.

Infused with the gentle flow of Reiki, this experience invites your nervous system to shed its armour and your mind to find its center. Grounded in the truth of your own self-worth, you are invited to let go of the need to ‘fix’ anything. Here, the only requirement is to be present, to be felt, and to remember who you are beneath the noise.

This isn’t just a class; it’s a love letter to your body. Honour your vital energy by surrendering to a practice designed to pour peace back into your own hands and heart.

Friday Feb 13th

🧘‍♀️
Are you new to yoga? Nervous about giving it a try or not sure what to expect?

When you “enter” a yoga class, people will likely be lying down, stretching, or sitting quietly with their eyes closed.

We recommend using this time to stretch out a few areas your body really needs, or to relax and soak in a few extra minutes of “you” time!

The instructor will guide you through movements, poses, and breathing techniques – it’s always your choice to participate in any of them, or relax in a different position.

They will also provide props or modifications to the poses so that people of any ability can safely enjoy the pose's benefits.

Yoga classes always end with “savasana”, which means “corpse pose”. Physically, you lie down on your back or in any comfortable position. The goal is not to let your mind wander, but to focus on one thing (e.g., your breath or a mantra). You may also use your savasana to sink into deep relaxation, almost a dream-like state that is very restorative and a great antidote to our busy modern lifestyle! Your instructor will guide you into this. Savasana usually lasts 3 to 10 minutes.

All yoga classes provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. In fact, many students close their eyes during parts of class to help develop their body awareness. (So, no one is watching you that closely!)

Yoga also teaches “non-attachment”. Students are encouraged to notice what’s going on inside and outside themselves, and to let that observation go without forming opinions.

Any yoga class can be as gentle or as challenging as you make it. The amazing thing about yoga, which sets it apart from other workouts, is that if you feel tired or weak that day, you are encouraged to step out of a pose and relax.

There are many different styles of yoga, ranging from gentle and relaxing to vigorous and sweaty. The best thing to do is try different styles until you find the one that works best for you.

Breath

Your breath speaks directly to your nervous system.

Fast, shallow breathing signals stress, while slow, steady breaths tell your body it’s safe.

Even a few mindful breaths can calm your system and bring you back to balance.

Barre Class

Total Barre is a dynamic, music-driven class that builds on the strength-focused foundations you know and love.

Blending elements of Pilates, barre, dance, and functional strength training, this class supports core stability, muscular endurance, flexibility, and coordination through flowing, purposeful sequences.

Expect intentional movement, strong core engagement, and mindful alignment, with the added energy of rhythm and choreographed, music-inspired movement.

This full-body workout emphasizes dynamic stability and functional movement to help you feel strong, balanced, and supported both in the studio and in everyday life.

Values

We love supporting other local businesses! As much as possible, we source our studio supplies, materials, and business service providers locally.

We try to keep our curated retail merchandise as small a sphere as possible – whether that is within Peterborough, Ontario, or Canada.

We also give back to local charities through special events and fundraisers, and love highlighting other local businesses on our social media and newsletter platforms.

This 90-minute yoga and sound experience is for anyone craving a deeper sense of presence, calm, and connection. Guided through an intentional Hatha practice with live, improvised violin, you’ll be invited to slow down, soften your nervous system, and move in rhythm with breath and sound. The extended time allows space to truly arrive, unwind, and integrate, ending with a meditation and sound bath that leaves you feeling grounded, open, and deeply restored.

✨Get to know Angela✨

1. What’s one small daily ritual that supports your wellness?

Meditation, without question. It’s a true non-negotiable for me. It grounds my nervous system and keeps me aligned so I can lead, teach, and parent from my highest self.

2. What synchronicities or little “signs from the universe” light you up?

Repeating numbers. I notice them all the time. They feel like little reminders that I’m on the right path and that things are unfolding exactly as they’re meant to.

3. What’s one common misconception about yoga you love to bust?

That you need to be flexible or “good at it” to begin. You don’t. You don’t need to look a certain way, move a certain way, or achieve anything at all. All that’s required is curiosity and an open mind. Yoga isn’t just a physical practice, it’s an exploration of self.

4. What’s your dream destination?

French Polynesia — Bora Bora. It’s a dream of mine to stay in an over-water bungalow, swim in a turquoise lagoon, and be immersed in the beauty of that kind of paradise.

5. What’s one simple joy that lights you up?

A warm chocolate chip cookie. Truly everything.

Pausing isn’t quitting. Pausing creates space to notice, breathe, and reset. Pausing can give perspective, clarity and be an act of strength.

Sometimes all you need to do is pause.

Pop-up Class!!!

GRACE & GRAVITY: Yin Yoga at the Wall

Join Bonnie for a unique pop-up experience where we turn the studio upside down—literally! This class blends the deep, long-held stretches of Yin with the ultimate support of the wall, allowing you to experience the power of gravity to nourish your body, soothe your nervous system and deeply release tension in your connective tissues.

Why the wall?

✨ Think of the wall as your supportive bestie- acting as a steady anchor while providing alignment & stability to allow you deeper exploration of your stretches.
The wall holds on so your muscles don't have to, allowing you to deeply stretch your connective tissue and fascia.

✨The gentle pressure on the heart and slow, deep breaths encouraged by the wall, soothe your nervous system, lower stress hormones and send signals of safety to your brain, allowing deep nourishment, relaxation and tension release.

✨ The wall allows gravity to help blood and lymph fluid return to your heart more easily, reducing swelling and fatigue of the legs as well as lowering blood pressure, supporting detoxification and improving immune function.

Join us to discover how this gravity-assisted practice can open the body, calm the mind and leave you with a lasting sense of deep, effortless peace.

Come lean on us- book your spot at the wall.
