Welcome back to our Technique Tuesdays! Today we are exploring another foundational pose, Virabhadrasana 1 or Warrior 1 pose.
This is a pose used on its own, but also as a transitional posture in so many yoga practices, but it isn't often that we slow down and just practice this, and see what...
Happy Monday! It's a new week and for some, a Canadian Victoria Day Weekend holiday.
I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you to be deliberate.
How you do one thing is how you do everything, so let's look at how you will have today.
Is it a holiday for you? Will you then allow yourself to...
Stop the presses! I am so excited I can't hold it in!
Now, I know I said I was taking a break from teaching over the summer, but truth be told, I didn't realize how much I would miss seeing all of you each class. It really is like seeing family!
Many of you have asked when I will...
Falling.
Failing.
It hurts.
It sucks.
We avoid it at all costs - after all, we were taught that in school, if we fail a test, or fall off the monkey bars, we're not going to pass our classes, we're going to be laughed at, we aren't going to be "cool", or "rich" or, "successful".
So we do...

When things are hard, when you're having a bad day, it can seem even harder to talk about it.
We've been taught to keep a stiff upper lip, or, worse, to "man up" (I personally really hate that one).
We've been taught to not be so emotional, not complain,...
Welcome to our fourth and final instalment of Trikonasana or Triangle pose variations!
This is a fantastic way to open hips, heart and shoulders, strengthen legs and abdominal and back muscles, and even open shoulders, as we will see in the more advanced bind variation today.
As always, listen to...
Welcome to a new week, where you get to start fresh on whatever goals you choose to work towards.
So, what will it be?
What will you work on?
Whatever it is, set your intention to achieve it.
Take your goal, break it into little tiny pieces, and then set your intention, like an arrow.
That arrow...

Sometimes we carry too much. We say we will "deal with it later" but we don't. We push it down and then something else comes along that we have to carry, so we push that down as well, and on and on.
Here's the thing:
It's ok to let it out.
It's ok to cry, howl,...
It's Wellness Wednesday and I decided to start Spring Cleaning. Ugh. Help me now! I haven't really deep cleaned my house since I started my yoga studio in 2018, and I'm regretting ignoring it.
Don't get me wrong, I cleaned. But it was mostly surface stuff: dusting, tidying, sweeping and mopping,...
Hello and welcome to a new Techniques Tuesday, where we'll be exploring Trikonasana, or Triangle Pose. Today is a modified chair version, that is usually accessible for many people.
As always, listen to your body, rest and modify as needed, and stop if you feel ANY pain. While this is a pose...
Welcome to a new month, new week and new Monday!
This week will go the way you want it to - you have a choice to follow the flow or create your own reality.
What I mean is this: whatever happens, you have the choice in how you react to it. You can take any event - positive or negative - and look...
Get started today before this once in a lifetime opportunity expires.
