Yoga will make you sensitive to...

Do no underestimate the value of being balanced, centered, and coordinated, of being strong and light, of being more flexible, without pain, experiencing the subsequent feelings of invisibility or transparency, and being more sensitive…Yoga will make you sensitive to the stillness, the presence, the hush. -Erich Schiffmann

All my Mt.Pleasant classes resume starting today! Weee!

According to Cliff Arnall, a psychologist with the University of Cardiff in the United Kingdom, there are many factors that make Monday, Jan. 17 the worst day of 2011, but I'm not buyin' it! (and neither should you)!. There are plenty of reasons to smile today!

Todays the day that all my classes at Mt.Pleasant start up again officially! Yay! Its yoga bliss in our glorious neighborhood once again.

All classes are a go, and it's going to be a great session♥

Baby & Me Yoga: Its starts this morning (Mondays 1045-12-ish-generally a little longer) It's going to be very busy this morning. Today is the first day and I'll be there super early to set things up. Please keep in mind that the first class is a little hectic for the very young babies due to sounds in the room. (sometimes really new little babies get a little overly stimulated and extra fussy the first time they are in a room with other baby sounds) But they do chill out by the second class! And thats a guarantee. Don't worry, its all good, and super fun! And by the second class they are lovin' it:)

Prenatal Yoga: Busy as always but with a new bigger room! (right next door to the old room) New session starts Wed at 630. "If you can get there a little early (10 mins) it would be a big help. (if you can't, it's totally cool). It's just that I can't get in there until 615 to set up, and it too is a busy one. Oh, and the waiting list is gone and we've opened up more spaces! And due to the size of the room you can always drop in as well :)

Daytime Yoga (mixed levels hatha) starts again today as well at 1230! (1230-200 Mondays and Wednesdays). You can double up to attend both days and get a huge discount as well. Can't wait to see my regulars today and meet some new folks as well.

Ok, I've gotta fly! Giddy UP. See you on the mat xo

Every 5 minutes it seems there's another study touting the effects of yoga..

The most recent one is yoga and happiness ♥

Researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine investigated whether yoga or walking made people happier and the answer was Yoga.

People who practiced Yoga 2-3 times per week reported being happier and much less anxious than those who walked for the same length of time. And the science backed them up completely. The yogi's had much higher levels of mood boosting chemicals in their brains too.

Those of us who practice yoga regularly always find these studies entertaining. We feel the effects of our yoga. I'm thrilled that medical science is discovering what we have all known for years (and the ancient yogi's have known for literally thousands of years). It is nice that it can all be confirmed in a lab or by a fMRI machine these days. And it is really lovely the way that yoga is moving more and more into a clinical setting as well. That makes me so very happy as yoga truly is self care of so many levels.

I love my yoga and I do love my walking too. I recommend the best of both worlds. Walk to yoga!

P.S. registration is on for both The Roundhouse and Mt Pleasant classes so let's do it up!

New classes are starting in Yaletown at the Roundhouse!

It's time once again to register for the class of your choice at the Roundhouse.

Come one come all! I have Yoga classes for everybody out there!

Whether you are a girl or a dude (mixed levels), expecting a baby (prenatal yoga), have recently had a baby (baby & me yoga) there's yoga for you. Classes are super casual :)

Heres the lowdown on classes as of this morning!

So far all classes are a go! And going smashingly well I might add!

*With the exception of Monday Daytime Yoga at Mt.Pleasant.

*Attendance wise it is hurtin' :(

This class is from 1230-200pm in the afternoon and is as cheap as I can make it.The session is from Sept 13 to Dec 13 and costs $132.50 to register which amounts to $10.19 per class.

This class had quite a few teachers in it all summer long, and with school going back it is now lagging behind in attendance unfortunately. Strangely enough these classes get loads of drop ins every class, but reaching the minimum "registration-wise" is needed for them to keep them running.

Wednesday's daytime class is doing better and there is always the option of doubling up and doing the Monday and Wednesday (2 times per week) for a total of $252, which is dirt cheap.

So..I just wanted to put it out there! *If you wanted Monday Daytime yoga to continue, register asap as it may soon be gone. Register in the next 48 hrs if you can.

You can click here to register!

Register and please tell your friends, and let's do it up! ASAP!

*It is a great deal and quite likely the most inexpensive yoga in the lower mainland.
