Yoga Kāla

09/24/2026

I've been cooking up a few new things for you over the past month! And please don't hate on me for the last slide 🤭 Details and links at my website: yogakala.ca

A great way to leave the grind behind! $15 drop-in or use membership or class card.

So excited to offer this gentle practice for mobility and nervous system support... and the best part? It's in my neighbourhood!

Let me guide you into a state of relaxation. Pop-up offering to be repeated if there is interest!

This is now a fall staple for those who like to dive deep into Yin. Quality essential oils are used to support our practice, with an optional head massage to wrap up the class.

Winter is coming. I said what I said. I'm all about being present, but part of my job is to plan offers that you don't even know you need yet 🤣. And this retreat weekend will be an ideal way to step through the halfway point of winter. Registration opens October 17. Check out yogakala.ca for a sneak peek. (ahem... holiday gift anyone??)

Hi! I am volunteering for a fun local event next Sunday, August 16th (9:30-11:00 am) -- Flow Through Time: A Yoga Fundraiser for the Bytown Museum. If you like gentle yoga, I would love to see/meet some of you there! Tickets are $45 per person (includes a $30 tax receipt!!), with all proceeds supporting the Bytown Museum’s preservation and programming initiatives. Full disclosure: I am Vice-Chair of the museum's Board of Directors, and I will be teaching the class 😉 It's a great way to (re)discover this wonderful local museum, meet some new people, and enjoy yoga in one of our city's most scenic spots! There will be lemonade, snacks and door prizes.
