What’s New?
Happy New Year!
The holiday season was very busy and hectic but lots of fun with family and friends. Although I enjoyed the season of giving, I’m happy to say that all the Christmas decorations have been put away and I’m ready to begin sharing yoga once again with you.
Classes resume this Saturday, January 5, 2019.
If you haven’t already registered there’s still time and there’s still room in most of the classes!
Shanti.
Press pause and join me for a nourishing and restful afternoon of pranayama, gentle flow yoga, and restorative yoga. Allow yourself the indulgence of this lovely 2-hour practice that will leave you feeling grounded and deeply relaxed as you reset and restore body, mind and spirit. Give yourself this gift. Slow down and just be.

It’s a blustery grey day and snow will soon be on the ground to stay, likely in the next week or so.
Some of you are already turning your attention to winter getaways and extended travel plans. Many of you are also planning to keep up with regular yoga classes, making a commitment to your physical, spiritual and emotional well-being a priority.
With this in mind, I’ve posted my upcoming Winter & Spring 2019 yoga class schedule.
I’ll also be offering a few specialty classes and workshops. Details will soon follow…
Live today in a good way!

Has your life turned into one long to-do list? As you tick off one task do you move straight on to the next? Does this cycle seem never ending? This is how I’ve been feeling lately. A bit overwhelmed and somewhat untethered. My discursive mind wandering and searching.
As the harvest time of the year is drawing to a close, signs of winter are already upon us in early October! Some of us are saddened by the eventuality of the Yin cycle, the cold, dark side of the year. For some of us the change of seasons, especially the recent Thanksgiving activities of cultivating gratitude for the myriad abundance that surrounds us, heralds a sense of humility and self-inquiry. This has prompted me to deeply pause and reflect, not only on my immense personal abundance, the fact that I breathe in and breathe out every day, among other things, but also on what I have achieved this year, what I have sown and harvested. This of course has brought about another prickly question: Has my metaphorical “plate” perhaps become too full?
It’s always good to assess and reassess. This deep inquiry has led to a decision to scale back on some of my yoga offerings, in particular the Savasana Sound Baths which will no longer be available for the foreseeable future. I’m honoured to have collaborated with Todd Koga, gong musician, over the past two-and-a-half years during these events. And I’m grateful to each and every one of you that has attended. The time has come, however, for me to shift gears just a little bit.
On a go-forward basis, only the “private” Relax and Renew® Sound Bath Journeys will be available (https://www.studio71yoga.com/new-page/). I’ll be focusing more of my attention on workshops to help you deepen your yoga and meditation practice! And of course I’ll keep you posted so stayed tuned…
