What's happening class wise...

Just a little heads up (heads down if you are expecting haha)!

Of course all classes are a go and doing fantastically well!

Yay! All thanks to you! ♥

Just need to let you know two things:

#1-Mt.Pleasant's Prenatal Yoga wound up having a bit of a waiting list when I arrived this evening so I thought you should know. I freed up a couple of spaces which quickly got filled.

If I can, I will open up a couple more spots, but I will not over-fill this class.

Luckily it's a big beautiful room!

You can stay informed on the status of this class by checking here or going directly to their website.

For we all know the nature of Prenatal Yoga...

One by one the mom's drop out...hee hee! (for the most exciting reason of all- they have baby and move on to Baby & Me Yoga!!).

*There is still room in my two other Prenatal Yoga classes at the Roundhouse (Tues & Thursday evenings from 545pm-715pm).

The Roundhouse is a 4 minute Canada Line trip from the Broadway/City hall stop (Broadway @ Cambie St.) to The Roundhouse stop which brings you right there!

#2- Wednesday July 21, Daytime Yoga (again Mt.Pleasant ) there will be a photographer in our class. If you have a problem with this we can figure something out. They will only be there for the first half hour (from 12:30-1:00pm).

*I will be emailing as many of you regulars as I can (and telling you everything I know about this). Feel free to email me regarding this (or anything else of course) anytime at all.

Everything else is just great! Summer is finally here and we are the luckiest people on the planet♥

Namaste & see ya on the mat!

One little gadget has helped me in unforseeable ways.

Yeah, it's a cheap-o dollar store kitchen timer.

I have just been truly amazed at how much more I have been getting done and how much lower my stress level has been the past couple of months since I put my little timer to work.

At first I thought it may add to my stress (knowing it is ticking away somewhere in the background timing me while I do some of my favourite time-wasting/enjoyable things I like to do). But the truth is I have found the opposite to be true!

I started off using it for laundry and cooking, then naps, then facebook and surfing the web. (The facebook part really scared me as I am someone who who would happily pay for facebook I love it so much!)

I could (and have) easily spent WAY too much time on that thing. But I love it!

I haven't removed any fun & enjoyable things from my life (and have no interest in that). I just wanted to free up more time to enjoy as many other of my interests as I could each day. And I have!

And it cost me a buck. The best investment I have ever made.

If you are like me and could use a little help better distributing your time you might just enjoy having a timer as much as I do.

More time=way more fun♥

Just thought I'd share

It's official! All classes with me are a go ALL summer long!

All my usual classes are happening all summer long!

Let's do it UP!

Me + you ♥

Registration is on-going (or feel free to drop in!)

Happy summer every body!

All new sessions begin this week, starting today!

*my schedule is to the right of here, down below (and in caps)

The lowdown on my summer classes (as of right now)

Been debating putting this out there yet but wanted to give you the lowdown on summer classes with me! (highlights in blue)

First off..Everything is a go. Full blaaaast!

**All but my two Baby & me classes** (keep reading!)

It's a little confusing but...

Mt.Pleasant's Baby & Me Yoga (summer session scheduled to start on Monday) got cancelled but... due to a barage of emails flooding my inbox "may" start up after all. **however it's unlikely it will happen on Monday (July 5) as planned.

It is quite likely to become uncancelled/reopened (just not until the following week- therefor delaying the start day until the 12th)

"I'l confirm in a few days"

I'll keep ya posted on here, or feel free to contact me or either Centre anytime!

My programmer is away until Monday and I'm not sure until "what time on Monday" he will return so that is why I can't give a definitive answer until I speak with him.

It's confusing but he's a super great guy and if the room is free (which I am 98% sure it is) it will be a go.

The Roundhouse Baby & Me is another story (scheduled to start on Thursday of next week ) Not likely to happen.

I haven't cancelled it yet but I am pretty sure I will be. I'll make my decision on Wed. (day before it is due to start)

If you want it to go, register asap.

Other than that...everything else is a go!!

It is going to be one fantabulous summer beautiful ones!

So, sorry for the confusion but I have been receiving a shocking number of emails lately and can't quite keep up so I thought I'd update you on here!

(I'll be updating again with the official verdict on both those baby & me classes)

Hope you are enjoying yourselves a glorious weekend! I sure am ♥

Savasana with Sarah Powers

I love Sarah Powers and have greatly enjoyed workshops with her in the past and hope to again.

I thought I'd share her description of Savasana (corpse pose) here.

For many it's the hardest pose of all.

And remember... savasana can be practiced anytime, not just at the end of class.

I hope you take the time to invite a little peace into your life this weekend.

I'm off to enjoy one right now ♥☺

Oh baby daddies! Happy Fathers day to you!

Whether you are the father of a baby or toddler, a teenager (then you really deserve a medal- haha!) or like my dad...the father of two sweet little girls in their 40's and fifties. Holy cow!!

You are a baby daddy. I can only imagine that as a dad your children will always be your babies to you, just like the mom's I know. I have had the great privilege and honour of knowing so many wonderful dads. My hat goes off to you dads! I love my momma's out there, but I sure love and admire those dads as well.

You rock parents! Somehow you all make it look so easy and I will never truly know your secret.

Til then, I'll just keep admiring you and supporting you every way I can.

Loads of love to you this Sunday on your "day of days!" Hope you get spoiled rotten whether your little munchkins are 4 or 40 or beyond ♥
