A Quarterly Update

Blogging seems to be harder to get to these days; my last post was in November 2022! This made me think, I should at least try to post quarterly business updates on my website (if you want more regular updates email me at gentle_hatha@live.com and I can add you to my yoga newsletter). Most of… Continue reading A Quarterly Update

Ritual

What does ritual mean to you? Is it something you turn to annually, seasonally, daily? Does it include some form of movement, meditation, action; or sacred objects like oracle cards, candles, incense, crystals? Ritual is something that I've dabbled with for many years, and only recently have I been diving deeper into this spiritual practice.… Continue reading Ritual

2021 | Chakras, Yoga, Meditation

It has been a LONG time since I've mentioned the chakras, philosophy, or meditation in any of my blogs or even in my classes. Partly because there is so much content and offerings out there these days, and partly because I have been so busy and distracted by other things going on in life that… Continue reading 2021 | Chakras, Yoga, Meditation

Deep breathes are the basis of our yoga practice, and a place you can return to over and over again... even when the physical asana (stretches) are not within reach. I describe the breath as the thread… Continue reading Ride The Wave of Breath…

The Value of Solitude

Even if you are not an introverted individual such as myself, it is important to take time for YOU that is just FOR you. Often our self-care or our "me time" includes fun social events, hanging out with friends, or indulging our senses. All great ideas! I am an odd ball of a human that… Continue reading The Value of Solitude

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
