Summertime goes by so quickly and these yoga, nature, and lifestyle suggestions can help you squeeze the most out of summer.

Learning to curl is harder than expected!

As we head toward the end of winter, I always find it the perfect time to check in with myself and my plans for the year.

Retreats are more than just the setting and the program. So much of the magic created is down to the people that show up.

As Yin is such a grounding practice, I love to pair it with aromatherapy to further support healing.

An excellent way go inwards is through the practice of Yoga Nidra, or “Yogic sleep”. During this time, the mind remains awake and aware, which allows you to access deeper levels of consciousness.

I get a lot of questions whenever a new retreat rolls around: What are the days like? When do we eat? Do we have any down time?; What are the yoga practices like?

The cozy Centre de Vie is the ultimate haven to return to - with comfy accommodations, amazing vegetarian food, an epic yoga space and a dry sauna. Let’s escape to nourish our mind, body and soul under the canopy of beautiful snow and peaceful nature sounds.

Online classes may not be for everyone, but if you haven’t tried a live class before, I highly recommend you do!

During the flurry this season always brings, I hope you find moments for yourself, to quiet the noise around you, and embrace the stillness a bit more. 

Retreats always bring together a mix of individuals who may start as strangers but leave as a group of friends that shared a connection - if only for a moment in time.

Yoga, walks in nature, warm cups of tea – all help me feel a little more centred and ready to tackle whatever may come.

I look forward to connecting with you this fall!

While many of us thrive on routine, it’s equally beneficial to make sure we are also scheduling time to pause, rest, and reflect.

I am so ready to switch into fall mode for the cooler days and cozy nights.

Our reality is that life is inherently uncomfortable. And this is what yoga can teach us off the mat.

Here are a few ideas to squeeze out every drop of summer!

Let me share with you a breathing practice of climbing ratios I did this morning that helped to ground and calm me.
