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?!
What a learning curve I have been forced into with this pandemic! It took me a few weeks, but I have managed to to start yoga classes through Zoom, and will be opening registration for online classes in July. Gentle Hatha Yoga Tuesdays at 12:30pm or 7:00pm, and Thursday 10:30am. If you are interested in… Continue reading Online Yoga Classes?!
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
