The 8 week Group Experience

The time has come to make that commitment to your health and your Self! I'm excited to announce that your 8 week Yoga Therapy program is starting Sunday Feb. 6th. Your all day retreat will be held on Saturday Mar. 5th. As you prepare for the program, this is a good time to notice your life circumstances right now. Ask yourself "How can this Group Experience serve me best? What do I want to receive or experience?" No need for solid answers here, just be curious of your intention. If you're still on the fence about joining, why not give me a call 250 505 9807 or email communityyogatherapy@gmail.com. Don't be shy, I won't bite. I'll be glad to answer any questions. I'm looking forward to sharing this amazing program with all of you. I have experienced it myself and it has been transformational. I was left with simple, practical ways to deal with my daily stresses. Living a healthy life with more Ease... Yes please!

Beyond the mat: creating a life practice

"True change is humble.
It comes in through my front door,
bowes at my feet,
and settles into my home,
as if it had always lived there."

So by now, many of you that took the time to make new year's resolutions have broken them. It's all good... I'm not judging. I'm just curious about why this happens to so many people (not excluding myself). Wikipedia tells me that "A New Year resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a personal goal, project, or the reforming of a habit. This lifestyle change is generally interpreted as advantageous." If we know this lifestyle change will be advantageous, why do we cop-out? My spidey-senses tell me that a lot of us are looking for instant change. And when it doesn't happen ASAP, we give up. What if Change was already happening, we just weren't aware? I have a proposition for everyone out there that wants to make a commitment and follow through. I am getting a group of 10 individuals committed to making a sustainable lifestyle change. The group will meet for 2.5 hours every week for 8 weeks. The container of these gatherings will be the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Group Experience. My intention is to guide you through gentle yoga postures with the space to notice how you react or respond to your body and any other life stresses. By becoming aware of our relationship to stress we can gain life tools that will keep us physically and mentally fit. Why settle for a yoga practice that exists only on your mat. Take your practice beyond the mat, into the ups and downs of your daily life. Are you in? If you're not, that's cool too. Just be curious about why not?...

Yoga in the Koots

SHINING LIGHT ON YOGA IN THE KOOTENAYS AND BEYOND

I was sad to hear yesterday, that the Nelson Express News paper is on it's way out of publication. I love all the staff there, and it was the best place to find out what was happening around town, as far as Yoga and Wellness goes. It's seems though, where one paper ends, a website begins. I thought I would share this new website with you. It's a really cool Kootenay Yoga Community site.
