This is a four-week specialty online series (October 2026), using yoga to help us connect with the power of the elements and ourselves. Each week will have an elemental theme, and include a guided meditation/visualization, pranayama practice, gentle yoga stretches, and a final relaxation to integrate the class.
The cost is $100 plus hst for the full session, or if you just want to join for a few the cost is $30 plus hst each. This is tentitively planned for Fridays at 6:30pm, but am open to Thursdays at 6:30pm if that is better for others. Please let me know your preference!
EARTH = grounding
This class is all about getting out of our head and back into our physical body. Signs of being ungrounded might show up as scattered thoughts, disorganized home or work space, being clumsy or unsteady on your feet, or unable to keep to a schedule or be on time.
Together we will re-connect with the present moment through our breathing and body awareness. It is an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and FEEL YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND.
AIR = imagination
This class is about returning to a sense of wonder, and opening up to our imagination again. Signs that you have disconnected from your imagination will show up with rigid thinking, not allowing yourself to explore new ideas or opportunities, feeling stuck in your current life, or even refusing to believe there is any point in “dreaming” or setting new goals for yourself.
Together we will re-connect with our imagination through a guided visualization and playful yoga postures. It is an opporutnity to open up, feel some joy, and REVIVE YOUR SPIRIT.
FIRE = passion
This class is about recognizing you are a passionate being by nature. We are designed to be creative and expressive. We have feelings and there are so many ways we can express them! Passion can be about creativity, sexuality, and a variety of expressions: art, music, drama, dance, writing, creating anything you can imagine! Signs that you have disconnected to your passions might show up as feeling depressed, numb, or sad; another sign is if you once had a hobby or activity that you loved but abandoned. If you feel unsafe or unable to express your voice or truth freely, you may be disconnected from your passion.
Together we will re-connect with our passion through visualization, kapalbhati breathing, sacral stretches, and some core work building our strength and confidence. It is an opportunity to REIGNITE YOUR INNER FIRE.
WATER = emotion
This class is about feeling our feelings. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! Most of us repress our feelings, whether they are “good” or “bad”, we judge them or feel others will judge us for them. Emotions are energy-in-motion. Often, they just need to MOVE. To find their flow. A way to be expressed (in a safe way). During our time we will make an honest assessment of how we feel, give ourselves permission to let these emotions and energy move, and let go of the burnden of repressing how we feel. Ideally, you will leave this class feeling lighter.
Together we will meditate, breathe, invite in our emotions, stretch with gentle flows, and open up the FLOW OF LIFE again.
