This is the time of year we over-schedule, we over-spend, and we over-indulge and then we end up over-whelmed! We want to celebrate, naturally, and catch up with all our old pals, plus family events and work events! How can we say no? It's not easy. Below I have listed a variety of small to… Continue reading Self-Care at Christmas

Yoga in Port Hope
Between 2006 and 2010 I had a lovely yoga space to teach from in Port Hope. I gave it up when I became pregnant, and moved to British Columbia. Closing that space shifted my whole business and when I returned to Port Hope just a few months later I had to begin again - teaching… Continue reading Yoga in Port Hope

Why I don’t believe in competition
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.
