Cultivating Harmony

Are you attending yoga with me this week?
I'm excited to share a sneak peek of this new Studio refresh!
See additional photos for the before view.
More to come later this month!

Although the curtains have been finished for several months, my heart feels full every time I walk into the studio. They frame the view perfectly and give the altar a soft, mystical finish.
A grateful, heartfelt shout-out again to !

Registration is open for May multi-week classes.
Save 3$ a class over drop-in fees by registering for the month.

If you've been at classes in the studio over the last few weeks, you'll have had this view (pic 1) instead of the usual view of the sky, trees, and lake (pic 2).
The sun, though welcome and warm in the spring, can shine directly into your eyes, making it hard to see and, if you are light sensitive, give you a headache. So, on sunny days, I move the front of the room away from the sun and dream of a better solution.

A generous gift of time, talent, and friendship is turning that dream into reality. Soon custom curtains will be on duty to shade the room when the sun is too bright.

I am so excited!

The remaining photos show the progression from fabric to curtains: a rod pocket to start, getting a feel for what's possible, adding a second panel (because you can't buy fabric wide enough), installing grommets for better flow and movement, mapping out the angle and experimenting with folds to create volume...
These custom beauties are going to be great!

Thank you Donalda for making my dream come true!

Stay tuned...

It's not too late to Register!
A couple of spots are still available!

The Spring Equinox has come and gone, and the forecast calls for a few more chilly days and perhaps a little snow.
Still the certainty of spring's arrival is something we can always count on. The sun is higher, it's light is warm on our faces, the birds sing with renewed energy, they sound excited and so am I!
Soon, we will be able to put our feet in the grass, smell the earth waking up and sit outside to watch the sun rise, and set...
If you feel like I do at this time of year, join me for the Spring Equinox Reset & Renewal Yoga Class! Running Sundays from 10am till Noon April 7th to May 12th.
Visit the Workshop page on the website or stay tuned here to learn more, further details coming soon!

The outdoor entrance to the Studio got a facelift yesterday!

This is a hard-working area with many functions, it stores compost, potting soil, garden mix, a rain barrel, recycling, firewood, a kayak, and the lawn mower but its most important function is as an entrance to the Studio. To do that job well, it needed to feel more spacious, peaceful, and inviting so I purged a little, reorganized, and replaced the old worn well head cover (a wishing well) with something more zen.

I didn't think to take before photos, so you'll have to take my word for it, this is so much better!

Easter Sunday🌷
I hope today finds you happy and relaxing with family or friends! ❤️

Take a quiet moment, 🌿
turn your face to the sun,
close your eyes
and breath 🕉
🌞 It's guaranteed to make you smile!

And some tasty Easter treats would be great too! 🐰

Happy Easter
🙏

❤️
For those of Christian faith, Easter celebrates the day of Jesus Christ's resurrection. 💫
As such, it symbolizes redemption for humankind, forgiveness for past wrongdoings, and an opportunity to live a better life. 🐣
Spring, like Easter, also reminds us of this; it is the season when the seeds of yesterday, once dormant, germinate, sprout and grow to become tomorrow's harvest. 🌿
The evocative symbolism of this time is filled with energy we can all access; redemption, forgiveness and the opportunity to live a good life are not limited by faith, they are available to us all. 💥
Happy Easter, resurrection and rebirth!
🙏

The Studio is closed this holiday weekend.
Classes resume at 8 AM Tuesday

❄
What a storm we had this morning! A downright blizzard at times but the blanket of snow it left behind is so pretty!
And the sun is shining now. ⛅ A true spring snowfall, it is +2 and melting already! 🙃
The storm and poor road conditions kept some students away from the 1st Spring Equinox class this morning so we will revisit today's content at our next class on April 16th.
What's the best thing about that?
You haven't missed too much and it's not too late to register!

💠
Chair Yoga is offered every Thursday at noon (excluding holidays).
Are you recovering from, or preparing for, surgery? Do you suffer from chronic pain or have arthritis?
You'd be surprised how much you can stretch your body from a chair!

Yvonne says, "I would highly recommend chair yoga classes to anyone that can't engage in strenuous exercise due to physical limitations...Try it...You'd be surprised at what you can still do to make a difference." She has been participating in my chair classes for over a year.

I am so sure you will find it helpful that I offer a free one-hour 1 on 1 consultation class to new students. Contact me to inquire or learn more.
