When I first started teaching yoga 20+ years ago, I was teaching up to 10 classes a week, each with their own theme, in an attempt to "please" every possible client. The problem was, my passion was for gentle stretching. I loved stillness, silence, and meditation. None-the-less I continued with a variety of things, ultimately… Continue reading Why I don’t believe in competition

Signal vs Noise
Have you heard of this? I just learned about it last week, and it is changing my life and how I feel about business. This was the video I watched if you are interested in learning more for your own business: Diary of a CEO with guest Kevin O'leary. I had never heard of this… Continue reading Signal vs Noise
Life Shifts…
"Middle-aged single-mom diagnosed with fibromyalgia teaching yoga in her messy living room." Catchy, right? I have really been mulling over the direction my business needs to take, to support my optimum well-being. Adjusting to this fibromyalgia diagnosis has not been easy. After years of "good days" and more "bad days" it all makes sense. But… Continue reading Life Shifts…
2025 | Yoga, Art & Life
I wrote no blogs about yoga or business in 2024. So you might be wondering what the heck is going on? Life is constantly shifting and changing, that's all... I celebrated 20 years as a certified yoga instructor, I started a new oil painting collection "Near and Far: Roadtripping for Great Canadian Landscapes," and I… Continue reading 2025 | Yoga, Art & Life
The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring
Yoga Classes, In Person and Online Spring is always a strange time for yoga classes. Many people travel, or go away, and it has resulted in a lot of "partial" registrations. So, although the in-person classes are technically full, I often have drop-in spaces available on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm ($20 per class). Online Yoga… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring
The Gentle Way of Hatha | Winter
It is hard to believe a New Year is upon us... This is my favourite time of year, between winter solstice and spring equinox. The magic of the winter season seems to surge through me; this is my most creative time artistically, and a time when I especially enjoy teaching gentle yoga classes because the… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Winter

The Gentle Way of Hatha | Summer
Today I did something I've avoided for a very long time... I started an Instagram profile for The Gentle Way of Hatha. When I first signed up for Instagram, I used it for all the things: yoga, art, mom life, nature... to capture all the things I love. However, I didn't like having "everything" so… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Summer
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
