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
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
Chakras, Yoga, Meditation
It has been a LONG time since I've mentioned the chakras, philosophy, or meditation in any of my blogs or even in my classes. Partly because there is so much content and offerings out there these days, and partly because I have been so busy and distracted by other things going on in life that… Continue reading Chakras, Yoga, Meditation
2021
As we move into a new year, business is starting to look a little bit different than previous years. We have already had to condense classes, as well as transfer yoga back to zoom until the spring. How do you grow a business, during a time of minimizing? I'm still learning. I will continue to… Continue reading 2021
Yogi Tea
To all the chai lovers out there, you might want to give this spin of it a try! It's all the same ingredients, but brewed longer for a more ayurvedic-style concoction, and as a result was given the label "yogi tea." It took me a long time to warm up to herbal teas, I had… Continue reading Yogi Tea
Six Months In
As August approaches, we are almost 6 months into this pandemic. Six. Months. Half a year. Not in my wildest dreams did I see a pandemic coming, nor that it would last so long in this day and age of cleanliness and anti-bacterial everything. I am unsure if there is even end is sight, as… Continue reading Six Months In
Online Yoga Classes?!

Gentle Hatha Yoga Tuesdays at 12:30pm or 7:00pm, and Thursday 10:30am. If you are interested in… Continue reading Online Yoga Classes?!
