Breath as Medicine: A Four-Week Exploration with Dr. Carrie Watkins, ND

Tuesdays, November 18 – December 9
5:15 – 6:15 pm PT | MA Yoga Victoria

The breath is our most accessible form of medicine — always available, profoundly powerful, and often overlooked. Through it, we can regulate our energy, calm the mind, and bring the nervous system back into harmony.

In this four-week series, Dr. Carrie Watkins, ND, invites you to explore the therapeutic potential of breathwork through a blend of evidence-based science and embodied practice. You’ll experience how subtle shifts in your breathing can influence your mood, focus, and overall vitality.

Each week introduces new techniques to:

Deepen and expand your breath capacity

Activate calm and rest through the parasympathetic system

Restore balance and clarity when energy or emotions feel off

Support sleep, focus, and recovery

Build a sustainable home practice for long-term wellbeing

This is an experiential and educational series suitable for all levels. You’ll leave with tools you can easily integrate into daily life for greater steadiness, resilience, and peace.

Open to all. No prior experience required.

Investment: $120

Meet the newest member of our team ✨
radhika

Kayla is taking on the shared role of General Manager ❤️

Learn more about her journey 👇🏽

Kayla ‘Radhika’ Miller (she/her) is a devoted yogic practitioner, artist, and wellness professional with over five years’ experience teaching yoga, facilitating workshops, supporting trainings, and managing wellness operations.

After two transformative years living at Anuttara Ashram in Northern BC—immersed in lineage-based Ta**ra Yoga—she took a pilgrimage to India followed by a Master’s degree in Art History. Discovering that renowned Canadian painter Lawren Harris (1885-1970) was reading a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita daily, her thesis explores how Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Karma Yoga shaped Harris’ life and work, especially his late-career move into abstraction and the spiritual potential of the arts.

Kayla is passionate about the ways yoga practice lights up and informs our daily experience both on & off the mat, and is deeply looking forward to sharing that integrated spirit at Mā Wellness & Yoga.

She brings 15 years of client-facing experience and a trauma-informed, heart-centred approach to her work, creating spaces of warmth, inquiry, and depth. Alongside her management role, Kayla continues to explore painting, photography, poetry, and music as potent spiritual practices. She is looking forward to connecting with you and supporting your wellness journey!

Dhanteras marks the first day of the five-day Diwali festival. The word Dhana means “wealth,” and Trayodashi refers to the 13th lunar day of the dark fortnight (Kṛṣṇa Pakṣa) in the month of Āśvina (October–November).

On this day, people honor Lord Dhanvantari, the divine physician and incarnation of Viṣṇu who emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthana) holding the pot of Amṛta (nectar of immortality)…reminding us that true wealth is health, and balance is the essence of abundance.

He is depicted with:
• A pot of Amṛta (nectar of immortality)
• A leech (symbolizing blood purification)
• Sacred herbs or texts
• Often, the Sudarśana Chakra

May this Dhanteras bring ārogya (well-being), sampatti (prosperity), and śānti (peace) to all beings.

🪔 Om Namo Bhagavate Dhanvantaraye Namaha🙏

Fall Ayurveda Rituals - Śarada Ṛtu (शरद् ऋतु)🍂

As the air cools and the winds rise, we enter Vāta season,a time of movement, change, and subtle transformation. Ayurveda reminds us to ground, nourish, and slow down.

Rituals for the fall sesaon👇🙏
✨Warm Showers or Baths: Use comforting scents like sandalwood, cardamom, or rose. Avoid cold water.

✨Oil your body with warm sesame or almond oil.

✨Eat grounding meals — soups, ghee, and spiced teas.

✨Take time for silence – A few mindful breaths before sleep or upon waking bring steadiness to the heart.

✨Practice Aparigraha (non-grasping): release what is complete, making space for renewal-Let go of excess – Just as the trees release their leaves, allow old habits, patterns, and heaviness to fall away.

✨Light a Diya or Candle at dawn or dusk — invoking Agni, the flame of clarity and discernment.

This season asks for softness, warmth, and stillness.

ॐ नमो भगवते धन्वंतरये नमः ॥
Oṁ Namo Bhagavate Dhanvantaraye Namaḥ

Meaning:

“Salutations to Lord Dhanvantari, the celestial healer, who removes all disease and suffering, and blesses with health and longevity.”

🧡 Satya: A Practice of Truth & Reconciliation 🧡 with Shireen Banaee

September 30th marks Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - a time for truth-telling, listening, and honouring the children who never came home, the survivors and intergenerational survivors of the residential school system.

Inspired by the teachings and strengths of the circle, our individual and collective journeys of Truth and Reconciliation are ongoing. This path is not a destination, but a lifelong commitment to reflection, learning, and understanding.

Join us for an evening of nourishment through accessible pranayama, mantra and sound, and reflect on the second Yama in the 8 Limbs of Yoga: Satya, meaning “truthfulness”.

Pranayama breathwork and mantra will lay the foundation of our shared journey. You’ll be guided through soothing Restorative shapes all while immersed in a sound bath featuring crystal bowls, drum, rattle and other instruments.

This class is accessible and by donation, with 100% of proceeds going to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS). https://www.irsss.ca

Participants are encouraged to spend September 30th at the South Island Powwow, taking time to learn the history and lived experiences of Indigenous peoples, or to practice self-care. https://www.songheesnation.ca/south-island-powwow
