Due to the wildfires in Jasper, Alberta, my son and his family have had a complicated and chaotic summer. However, given the circumstances, they are doing relatively well.

And good news! My husband Louis and I won’t have to relocate to Jasper temporarily to help with childcare, as I had initially thought. André and Ashley’s friends have all come together to support each other, and everyone is figuring things out as they go along.

Therefore, I’m thrilled to announce that Studio 71 Yoga classes will resume after the long weekend in September.

Please visit studio71yoga.com for more information on current offerings, including the Better Sleep Program.

You can register online and pay with a credit card, or email me and pay by e-transfer.

I’m also in the early stages of planning a few workshops. Here are some preliminary details:

• First, the “Yoga and Osteoporosis” workshop focuses on safe and suitable yoga postures. It’s perfect for beginners and offers guidance on yoga postures that should be encouraged, modified, and avoided— particularly beneficial for those looking to manage osteoporosis.

• Next, the “Art and Science of Savasana” workshop explores the significance and nuances of “corpse” pose. Participants will learn to fully surrender and relax physically and mentally, leading to more profound inner peace and rejuvenation.

• Lastly, “Yoga for Better Sleep” is a beacon of hope for those struggling with sleep issues. It will help you with relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and gentle stretches to promote a peaceful night’s rest, perfect for anyone looking to improve their sleep hygiene.

As always, I look forward to seeing you on the mat and guiding you through the upcoming classes, workshops, discussions, and more.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Wishing you joy and gratitude,

Jeannine
