CREATE THE SPACE This can be SO tough, but is necessary if you want an enjoyable practice. Decide if you need technology or not (YouTube or anything audio would likely need TV, laptop, or phone).

Pandemic and Yoga
Due to the recent spreading of Covid-19 into our area, I have been notified that we must suspend our yoga classes until further notice.

Do Just One Thing
"Not all of us can do great things, but we can all do small things with great love." - Mother Teresa - It's so easy to lose faith in people.

An Act of Self-Love
During class recently, it came to me that yoga is such a generous gift we give ourselves: a simple act of self-love. Even if it's just a few minutes a day, or an hour or two a week, it is a place to land. To return to. To return to ourselves. To return to love.… Continue reading An Act of Self-Love

Sometimes we abandon our yoga… Continue reading Authentic Living

There is always so much to learn and explore, and the yoga world seems to be forever evolving through different styles and trends. So why do I teach gentle yoga? I came to yoga in 1997. I was 17 years… Continue reading Unwavering Gentleness

Gentle Yoga | Summer in Port Hope
As I work on a collective vision for my growing business, I have watched many other yoga studios and teachers surfacing over the years. It is wonderful to see so much variety for people to choose from! However, it can also make teachers doubt what they really have to offer: who am I against all… Continue reading Gentle Yoga | Summer in Port Hope
Over 20 Years of Yoga
Today was a fun day. I started unpacking Rubbermaid bins I hadn't opened in about 6 years. I re-discovered the old yoga teacher training notes, from my personal training and from the teacher training I designed and guided. I found my old portfolio with the Child and Youth Worker diploma, and my reiki and… Continue reading Over 20 Years of Yoga
