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

How do you grow a business, during a time of minimizing? I'm still learning. I will continue to… Continue reading 2021
Practicing Yoga At Home
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). You can find a realm of apps and channels that offer exercises and meditations or music you might want to… Continue reading Practicing Yoga At Home
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. I am hoping this will only be for a few weeks, as our community seems to be doing everything in it's power to prevent this disease from spreading more than necessary.… Continue reading Pandemic and Yoga
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
The Gentle Way of Hatha on YouTube
AN EASY WAY TO TRY A FREE YOGA CLASS! How many excuses have you made to not take a yoga class? I have heard them all! Sometimes it's a physical limitation, sometimes it's a time management issue, sometimes it's due to lack of money, sometimes the motivation just isn't there... the list can go on… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha on YouTube
