Esther Myers Yoga Studio

Inspired by the work of Vanda Scaravelli and Esther Myers, the yoga taught at the Studio is accessible, relaxing and energizing.

Each class highlights the profound connection between the breath, gravity, and spinal mobility. Our approach to yoga is deeply reflective and student centred. We describe it as Thinking Body Yoga: yoga that is practised slowly, intelligently and safely with the guidance of highly trained teachers who have a thorough understanding of anatomy and natural movement potential. As you explore, you will develop and experience greater independence, pleasure and ease in the body, curiosity of mind, and an active inner life. There is great joy in discovering that you can move toward a healthy, relaxed and energetic state of body and mind by yourself, anytime, anywhere.

Yoga in Norway, with Monica Voss…NEW!
April 28 – May 5, 2024, in association with Merit Travel

Please join me in a new venue - a former meditation retreat centre in the mountains of Hedalen, Norway, 2 hours north of Oslo. I'm very excited to offer this opportunity. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the mountain vistas and spectacular fjords of the Norwegian countryside.

At our centre near Valdres, there’s the main house where you’ll find the most amazing yoga and meditation space, with views reaching out to the mountains. We’ll also eat here, fantastic world inspired vegetarian cooking, and this is where we’ll meet up and share communal spaces, not to mention the sauna!

All About Abdominals, with Tama Soble
Friday, October 13, 1:00pm-3:00pm, at the Studio

The abdominal muscles support and stabilize the torso and protect the organs. They also interact with breathing and digestion. As with all muscles in the body, the abdominals are healthiest and serve us best when resilient. Let’s explore functional ways to strengthen, release and stretch the abdominal wall and learn more about the brilliance of our bodies.

Experiencing ourselves in movement, with Peter Blackaby
Wednesday, April 12, 1:00pm – 3:00pm ET, on Zoom

Life is multi sensorial. A child held in the arms of a parent experiences a homogenous impression of the moment. If we walk in the woods something similar occurs – a gestalt, not a set of separate impressions. Movement is the same. When we move from one situation to another, there are many factors that make up the experience. Was it comfortable? Did we accelerate and decelerate the movements smoothly? Is our breathing free and easy? In the practice of yoga, we are interested in the whole perception of our movements with the intention of creating greater harmony and integration. These are the themes we will explore in this class.
