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.

Yoga In Cobourg

Dreams, Intuition, Reality and Trust
Last night I was awaken at 3 AM by a nightmare that left me with heart-crushing anxiety. Racing mind. Overwhelming fear. I have written about this before: The Container The Edge Living Yoga Jackie Dumaine wrote a very stark and raw blog about her own personal experience she titled "Breaking Open: A Melt-Down Story". When I… Continue reading Dreams, Intuition, Reality and Trust
Strive For Wholeness
A part of my journey through life has been to find wholeness. Â Yoga has helped bring me to a place in my awareness where wholeness is accepting ourselves and our lives exactly as they are. Much of the work I have done, on myself and others, I would define as 'healing' work. Â However as I… Continue reading Strive For Wholeness
