Higher Consciousness | Book Review

My friend and fellow yoga teacher, Rob Owens, published a book last year inspired by (and about) the Yoga Sutras. How exciting to finally have my own copy!

“Online Local” Yoga Classes for Northumberland County

I have been teaching yoga throughout Northumberland County for over 20-years! It wasn't until the pandemic hit that I had to transfer my in-person classes to online classes. What surprised me was, after the lock downs passed, there were many people who preferred online classes, and I was encouraged to continue with them. This has… Continue reading “Online Local” Yoga Classes for Northumberland County

Why Gentle Yoga May Not Be Prenatal

After doing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rama Lotus in Ottawa in 2004, I decided to add a weekend training on pre-natal yoga at Esther Myers in Toronto a few years later. Although my 200-hour training included a basic pre-natal education, I still did not feel confident in that aspect of teaching. The training… Continue reading Why Gentle Yoga May Not Be Prenatal

And this is what happened... My back seized up! In one way I wasn't surprised, because we had spent days cleaning, organizing, and re-arranging for the holidays. Of course my back is going to go out, if I'm not doing yoga to compensate for the physical challenges. What did surprise me though, was the fact… Continue reading I Didn’t Do Yoga For Five Days

The Great Purge

I suspect when most people do a purge, it's a seasonal thing, or maybe an annual event. Very practical! I, on the other hand, had a life-time of boxes to go through. I have called this my "great purge" and it's been on-going for about 3-years (and daily). As an artist (painter, writer, music-dabbler, and… Continue reading The Great Purge
