Prana translates to “life force”, and it means the way we control, or pay attention to our breath. Pranayama is a very powerful tool in our yoga toolbox, for use both on and off our mats.

Sometimes Pranayama can just mean being mindful of taking full, belly breaths. Other times we can be more intentional with a technique.

Have you tried Bee Breathing?

Next time you’re feeling stressed, try a soft hum during a few exhalations to help calm your mind, and soften the edges of your unease.

We DO enjoy class very much, but not in the way you do. Classes are entirely for you. That’s why we pay attention to how you’re moving, breathing, your energy; it informs our teaching. Because if we’re doing yoga, we’re not doing our jobs as effectively as we can.

All yoga teachers have a favorite pose. Sometimes we oscillate between a few, depending on how our bodies are feeling. But there is ALWAYS one, and it often shows up in their classes. What’s your current favourite pose?

Kids are sponges.

For them, learning, and the growing pains that come with it, are NORMAL. Adults, however, are a different story. Trying yoga, or anything new for that matter, requires a leap of faith and LOTS of patience.

At OTM, we always have a Month Intro Special ready for those who are ready for a new adventure; 30 days of unlimited classes for only $65 plus HST.

Eagle Arms (Garudasana) is perhaps the most blatant example of the pose you like least, being the pose you need the most. Tight muscles at the base of your skull, running the length of your neck, and into your shoulders and traps are stretched, and manipulated in Eagle Arms. In the moment, things are intense - remember to breathe - and afterwards…freedom!

One size does not fit all in this arm variation, so make sure to move things around, and find the best position for your body and breath.
