Hello!

Here we are at the end of summer already. It seems like it went faster than usual this year, and I'm not altogether ready to move into fall yet, though I do love the transition, the cooler weather, and the routines.

Some big news! I am opening a small yoga studio in partnership with my friend and mentor Sharyl Paull, who is also a yoga therapist. I will be running registered pre-natal classes, lunchtime yoga breaks, seniors yoga, occasional workshops, and one on one sessions.

The studio is located in NW Calgary in Brentwood, at the Village Lifestyle Centre, and it is a sweet little room that fits about 12 people. This is important to both of us, as we really want to create a space where there is a real feeling of community and support. In all of my years of teaching my favourite classes to teach are that exact size!

The classes I am teaching will be:

Monday and Wednesday: 9:30 to 10:30 am Function and Flow

Monday and Wednesday: 12-1 Function and Flow

Wednesdays: 1:30 - 2:30 Seniors yoga

Wednesdays 6:15 - 7:30 Registered Prenatal (no drop ins)

The Function and Flow classes are open to all, and will have a new theme each week, and incorporate strength, stability, novel movements (which our bodies love!) and fun. This isn't McYoga, this is yoga for YOU. You can choose whether you want to practice 1x/week, 2x/week, or 3x/week. Please note that babies that are not mobile are welcome, but not mandatory. All classes will run on an 8 week schedule and memberships will be priced depending on how many times per week you want to practice. This is a little different than a drop in model, which we aim to move away from.

Prenatal is a registered 6 week session that prepares your body, your mind, and your spirit for labour and birth. How you move affects your babies position, and I can show you how to optimize your movement so you feel your best through all trimesters. Prenatal yoga has been my focus for the past 16 years, and I absolutely love it.

Seniors yoga focuses on moving well so you can keep moving well!

We are starting renovations this week and I will be taking registrations for all classes right away. Send me an email if you have any questions at all, or if you'd like to sign up. Classes start October 3!

Lastly, the name of the studio is the Wildflower Yoga Collective. Yoga teacher friends, if you are looking for a space to run your classes and pay a reasonable rate for rent, reach out! This is a collective, not a capitalist enterprise.

Big love to you all, and happy transitions to fall!
