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

some pics of our beloved hood




























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.

Remember that at both Mt.Pleasant and The Roundhouse prices are pro rated so as long as theres room you can still register for the class of your choice at a big savings (meaning, the classes missed will of course be deducted from the price)

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

Trees are just magnificent all year long. This time of year I like them best at dusk.

















Did you know you an learn english for free if you live in BC?


And you can even get free childcare while you do it? I think thats pretty cool.
Saw the ad on the bus yesterday and thought that more people should know about it so decided to make a little post. I can only imagine that immigrating from another country would be extremely challenging. Especially if you couldn't speak the language. Learning english would also be a wonderful way to meet new friends. If you now any newcomers looking for resources of any kind heres a link HERE

When snow falls, nature listens. ~Antoinette van Kleeff




Gosh I love this place. Have you been to the Roundhouse lately? Yoga with me is starting up again. Tonight!

I am so stoked about my Roundhouse classes starting up again this evening! This year will mark 7 glorious years teaching at what I call, the coolest place in Yaletown for sooo many reasons. Yoga, dance, theatre, the staff...and the list goes on! All my classes are super casual, non threatening and affordable so come on down! You can find me there on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cost of registration is pro-rated too, so if the session has already begun you can still register (or drop in too of course).
You save big by registering before or on the day of, and if you double up to attend twice per week there is a huge savings. (And of course all classes need the minimum number of registrants for the program to run, but luckily I don't seem to often have that problem). Namaste & I hope to see you tonight!
Prenatal Yoga Tues and Thurs 545pm-715pm.
Baby & me yoga Thurs from 1230pm-200pm
Mixed Levels Hatha Tues and Thurs 730pm-900pm.
