Namaste everyone! 💜

I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend.

Just a quick update...

This Wednesday's yoga class in Cordova will be cancelled as I'll be celebrating my son's birthday with my family. 🥳💕

I'll add an extra week onto the end of our session, so our final class will now be Wednesday, August 26th instead of August 19th.

If you're unable to attend on August 26th, please send me a message and I'll happily refund you for the missed class.

Thank you all so much for your understanding. I hope you have a wonderful week, and I'll see everyone back on the mat on the 12th! 🌿🙏

🌻Flourish - A 7 week Summer Yoga Journey🌻

Spring invited us to Emerge.
Now Summer invites us to Flourish.

As the days warm and the gardens burst into bloom, this season reminds us that growth isn't just about "becoming"...it's about living fully, embracing joy, finding balance and appreciating the abundance that already surrounds us.

Over 7 weeks we'll explore practices that help us feel strong, yet soft, grounded yet open, and connected to both ourselves and the beautiful rhythms of summer.
And of course, with our kind Cordova group setting, there's always some laughter and lots of community.

Whether you've been with us all year or you're joining for the first time, I'd love to welcome you.

Let's make this a summer of movement, connection and flourishing, both on and off the mat!

Flourish - A 7 week Summer Yoga Journey

Wednesdays 6:30 - 8pm
July 8 - August 19

Good morning friends!

We've come to the end of our 7-week late spring session, Emergence, and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to my incredible Cordova yoga community.

Some of you have been practicing with me for nearly four years now, and that’s something I never take for granted.
Through changing seasons, busy lives, and all the ups and downs that life brings, you continue to show up with open hearts, kind spirits, and such beautiful energy.

It's been an absolute privilege to witness your growth, share in your journeys, and continue growing alongside you.
Thank you for your trust, your laughter, your conversations, and your commitment to our little yoga community!

I'm so grateful for each and every one of you.

Stay tuned - details of our first (early) summer session, beginning July 8, will be posted in the coming days.
I'm excited to see where our practice takes us next. 🙏

Happy summer solstice to all!☀️

Emergence 🌻

🌱 Week 1 — Gentle Awakening

Not everything needs to bloom all at once.

This first class is about slowing down, tuning in…and noticing what’s already beginning to grow beneath the surface.

We’ll move gently through grounding shapes, active breathwork, and simple, supportive flows — creating just enough space for something new to emerge.

No pressure.
No pushing.

Just awareness… and a little bit of room to grow.

Join us at 6:30 this evening.

7 week series $125
Drop-ins $22

🌱 Emergence — Gentle Expansion
A 7-week yoga series designed to meet you exactly where you are… and gently invite you forward.

Wednesdays 6:30–8PM
May 6 – June 17
Cordova Community Centre

Growth doesn’t have to be forced.
In fact, the kind that lasts, usually isn’t.

This series is about allowing — softening into the process, creating space, and letting your body open in its own time.

✨ What to expect:
• Slow, grounding beginnings to rebuild trust in your body
• Gentle side body + heart opening (supported, never pushed)
• Simple, repeatable flows that evolve with you
• Space to explore—not perform
• A practice that gradually becomes yours

We’ll move through a natural arc together:
🌿Gentle Emergence (Weeks 1–2) — reconnect, soften, make space
🌿Explore + Expand (Weeks 3–5) — build curiosity and confidence
🌿Integrate + Embody (Weeks 6–7) — trust what’s unfolding

This isn’t about doing more.It’s about noticing where you’re trying to force…and what happens when you don’t.

If you’re looking for a practice that feels supportive, intentional, and quietly powerful—this is it.

💫 7 Weeks: $125
💫 Drop-ins: $22

Spots are limited. Come grow with us. 🌱

Root to Rise – Week 1 🌱

This week we begin with Rooted Presence — a return to the essentials.

In this 90-minute practice we’ll reconnect with the breath, rebuild awareness in the body, and gently reawaken strength from the ground up.
When attention becomes steady, strength naturally follows.

As we move through this first class together, we’ll also acknowledge the Spring Equinox — a moment of balance between light and dark, and a reminder that growth begins with strong roots.

The ground comes first. From there… we rise.

🌿 Class Update from Ananda Yoga 🌿

After a long winter of teaching and sharing the mat with all of you, I’m taking a little time to rest and turn my attention inward.

To honor this pause and ensure I can continue to serve our community at my best, the following chair yoga classes will be canceled:

🪑 Sama Park – Tuesday, March 17
🪑 Stone Hall – Thursday, March 19

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Rest, reflection, and self-care are essential for all of us— yogis and teachers alike!

I look forward to reconnecting with you on the mat soon. 💜

Root to Rise

From Intentional Rest to Laying the Foundation for Spring Growth

Over the winter, we returned to what was essential by mindfully and intentionally exploring rest.
We slowed down. We steadied. We gathered strength beneath the surface.

Now, early spring invites something new — not a sudden burst forward, but a gradual rise.

Root to Rise is a six-week progression designed to carry the steadiness we cultivated in
Deep Winter – Returning to What’s Essential into gentle expansion.
The roots are already there.
This session is about nourishing them so they're able
to support the upward growth of late spring.

Expect thoughtful sequencing that honors the nervous system while gradually increasing energy and fluidity. We’ll begin each class grounded and connected, then slowly layer in:

🧍‍♀️More standing work to build functional strength.

👣Smooth transitions that encourage coordination and confidence

⚖️Balance postures to sharpen focus

💚Gentle heart-openers and subtle backbends

🧘‍♀️Guided meditation and deeply supported Savasana

This is not a power class.
It’s intentional progression.
Strength without strain.
Movement without rushing.

You’ll be invited to notice what feels ready — physically, mentally, and energetically.
Not forced growth, but supported, nourished emergence.

As we move through early spring, we're laying the foundation for late spring’s fuller expansion.
What we stabilize now will support what blooms later.🌼

Whether you’ve practiced through the winter session or are returning after time away, you’ll be met with clear options, accessible variations, and mindful guidance.

Join us to intentionally nourish the roots of all that you’re ready to grow this year.
