Yoga in Port Hope

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

Yoga In Cobourg

Why do I no longer offer a yoga class in Cobourg? Pre-pandemic I had weekly yoga classes in Cobourg, and recently a few of the past participants asked me why I no longer teach there...

As a teacher who was forced to learn the online technology for yoga classes during the Covid Pandemic, I completely understand why people are hesitant to join online. I'll admit, when I went back to teaching in-person I was surprised how many students chose to not return and ended up preferring online classes! These are… Continue reading Why Online Yoga?

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.  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.  However as I… Continue reading Strive For Wholeness
