Tense, tired, stressed?

Before we can release it, we need to know that all of this built up tension exists in our body and where. We need to put a name to the sensation and then intentionally soften its grip and release it.

With the busyness of the season in full swing, Kelly Cameron has a practice for you to press the reset button, find some precious space to unwind and appreciate the moment.

We will use myofascial release (using therapy balls), massage and meditation to set ourselves free and step back into the joy of the season.

The practice will be followed with some mingling and alcoholic and nonalcoholic
spirits.

Join Dana Wemyss for a 2hr practice to honour this special time of year.

This slow flow and nidra practice will be by the magic of candlelight; supporting the intention to: slow down, honour the power of the dark, move inward, honour the power of the light.

The yoga nidra will offer you an opportunity to set intentions for the year ahead to be nourished by your inner wisdom.

Winter Solstice is a powerful time of year. As we link our awareness with nature's cycles, our own personal growth cycles deepen.

It is this fruitful darkness and silence out of which our soul's yearnings can emerge.

Tweens are growing up in a world that moves at high speed.  Technology is part of their everyday experiences. They use technology to learn at school, to interact with their friends and as entertainment.  This ready access to so much information can make it challenging for them to slow down and to take the time to connect with themselves.

This 6 week series is designed to introduce tweens to the many elements of yoga in a fun, interactive way.  Each session will include a discussion on a specific topic, followed by a yoga practice. Expect your tween to learn, to move and to connect in an easy-going, non-competitive way.

Topics to be discussed are:

• What is yoga?
• Connecting to breath.
• Intro to mindfulness.
• Yang - Yoga for strength.
• Yin - Yoga for flexibility.
• Your internal landscape - connecting to the body with breath and mindfulness.

Restora-Yin & Massage: Heart & Hip Health

Join Lea and Dana in this two-hour yin / restorative practice to open the heart space and nourish the hips.

Imbalances in heart and hips can result in lowered mood, poor circulation and body discomfort. When we balance the energy in our hearts we connect better with others, feel more vitality and inner peace. When we release tension in the hips, we move with more ease and flow.

Yin and massage are both deep healing practices which activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the body’s fight/ flight response, promoting a deep and lasting sense of calm.

This sequence is designed to lead you into a deeply supported state of opening and relaxation. Yin postures will be accompanied with mini-massages to accentuate the effects of the practice.

Expect to leave with a happy heart and hips.

Breathwork & Sound Bath is a sacred journey into the exploration of human potential using breath and sound, that opens the door to higher states of consciousness.

When breath work and sound are combined, we experience a connection between mind and body that has been lost because of our continual fear based survival thinking. During this practice you will experience flow state. Your thinking mind slows. This allows the deep connection from mind and body to be restored.

This will elicit the relaxation response and in the relaxation response the body relaxes, the blood pressure lowers, heart rate lowers and the body basically goes into healing mode. The mind is not in the way anymore and the body now can do what it naturally knows to do to be happy, healthy and strong.

We hope you will join us for this magical experience.
