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.

So it's the last long weekend of the summer...*sniff*



Hope you are having fun! I sure have been. Every single day.
As much as I try and embrace change I do seriously love summer and have struggled with not wanting it to end. However I do know that autumn will be wonderful as well, as it always is!! It will be colourful and vibrant, and well..."moisturizing". haha.Thats one fall promise we all have living here in a rainforest!

I have just been going over my schedule this morning and it is a tad confusing with some fall classes starting up again on certain days, and others on other days.

Heads up! Room change!


ahhh..bow pose. one of my faves.

we even have an outdoor patio!

After yesterdays class at Mt.Pleasant I decided to snap a few pics of our incredible new room!
We will be upstairs in Multi 2 starting in the fall and it's official! Both daytime hatha classes and baby & me yoga classes will be up there (and they start up again Monday Sept 13 and Wed Sept 15)!

Registration is on now for all classes at Mt.Pleasant and The Roundhouse so get on it! classes are filling up!

Our old room was gorgeous, lets face it! Mt.Pleasant is brand new and doesn't have a shabby room in the place, but considering these classes are during the day, and there is the construction outside, it made sense to move upstairs and this room is every bit as gorgeous! And it's HUGE! And it is filled with natural light, and greenery out the windows, and get this...it even has an outdoor patio!

And the room is also...(shhhhh...very very quiet!)!
Looking forward to all of my fall classes starting up and to seeing you at yoga!

The Ujjayi Sound-- A Guided Practice for Beginners

BKS Iyengar pranayama

The breath is the king of the mind.

Staying Simple


Be blessed

in the basic awareness
of knowing
you do not know
the answers,

In this humbleness
is strength
guiding all
toward their own true nature,

Not the weakness
of complicated cleverness
that disguises the ego
as the master,

Be willing
to blend peacefully
into common-place cycles of life
with sensible precaution
of the silent destiny
always at work,
regardless of your particular opinion,

There lies comforting understanding,
within faithful surrender to the unknown,
invisible, inevitable presence,
that a clearer pattern exists,

Containing the joy
of simply being
amidst the unforced process
of the Tao.

Gordon Neumann


"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

J.D. Salinger (The Catcher in the Rye)
