What I wish more people knew about online yoga?

It still counts!

You don’t need to drive across town, find a parking spot, or rearrange your whole evening to make yoga part of your week.

You can roll out your mat at home, press play, and still have real instruction, real connection, and a class that supports your practice.

My Fall 2026 Livestream Sessions begin September 14 and run for 12 weeks.

Choose one class, or make all three part of your weekly routine:

Mondays at 8:15 PM • Yin Unwind
A slower practice to stretch, release and settle in.

Tuesdays at 12 PM • Yoga Mobility Flow
A midday reset to move and create more ease in your body.

Thursdays at 7:30 AM • Yogalates
A feel-good blend to start your morning with strength and energy.

And there’s more than just the live class:

🌿Reminder emails so you don't forget
🌿Recordings available to keep practicing with until December 31
🌿A 20-minute one-on-one chat with me to talk about your practice and goals
🌿A bonus of a hike & yoga in person on either September 12 or 19!

Your mat. Your home. Your schedule.

Let’s make yoga a little easier to fit into real life.

A little reminder for yoga teachers: you’re probably not inviting people to your classes enough.

We sometimes worry about posting “too much.”

What if people already saw it?
What if I’m bothering them?
What if they don’t want another reminder?

But the truth is, people are busy. They miss posts. They forget. Their schedules change.

And sometimes, they just need a simple reminder that there’s a class waiting for them.

So yes, I’m going to keep inviting you.

To slow down.
To move.
To breathe.
To make a little space in your week for yourself.

And if you’ve been thinking about joining one of my classes but haven’t made it yet…

Consider this your invitation.

I’d love to see you on the mat.

Your yoga class just got a little more wild.

This fall, we’re taking the practice outside.
Hike through Gatineau Park.

Learn a little about the trails and the land around you.

Pause for a seasonal drink.

Then unroll your mat and practice surrounded by nature.

No need to be an experienced hiker.
No need to be an experienced yogi.

Just bring comfortable layers, water, a mat or towel, and an open mind.

And because every session has a different trail, group, weather and practice, no two Hike & Yoga days will be quite the same!

You’ve probably seen me talking about retreats lately…

Peru. Morocco. Hiking & yoga. Trainings. Special events.

And while I LOVE all of those things…

I also really love teaching a good old-fashioned weekly yoga class.

So, a little reminder:

I’m still here.
My mat is still here.
And weekly in-person classes are happening.

Whether you’re looking for a stronger Vinyasa practice, some Core Flow, a slower Yin + Aromatherapy class, or Sunday Flow + Yin, there’s a place for you.

No passport required.

Check out the weekly schedule and come practice with us:

Every yoga class has them… 😂🧘‍♀️

But honestly? I love them all. 🤍

Yoga isn’t about being perfect; it’s about showing up exactly as you are.

Thank you to everyone who steps onto the mat, brings their energy, and makes this community so special.

Which one are you?

If you've been waiting for a sign to book a retreat… this is it. 😉

Girl math says the earlier you book, the longer you have to forget about paying for it.

So by the time your retreat rolls around, all you’ll remember is the yoga, the good food, the fresh air, and how good it feels to have a weekend (or week!) away from your usual routine.

Basically, it’s free.

Here’s what’s coming up:

✨ Back to Balance — October 2–4, 2026
✨ Reading & Yoga Retreat — November 20–22, 2026
✨ Yoga & Snowshoe Retreat — February 5–7, 2027
✨ Peru — March 5–11, 2027
✨ Morocco — April 11–17, 2027
✨ Southern Italy — October 23–29, 2027

Whether you’re craving a cozy weekend close to home or an adventure somewhere completely new, there’s a retreat waiting for you.

Just the simple things😉

There's something grounding about unrolling your mat somewhere new.

Every place has a different energy.

Different sounds.

Different views.

But the practice always has a way of making anywhere feel a little more like home.

One of my favourite parts of travelling is finding a quiet corner, taking a deep breath, and moving my body, whether that's on a beach, in the mountains, or on a hotel balcony.

The scenery changes.

The practice doesn't.

Where's the most memorable place you've ever practiced yoga?

Touch can be one of the most powerful tools we have as movement teachers, but only when it's offered with intention, clarity, and consent.

In Teaching Through Touch, we'll explore how to offer hands-on assists that help students feel safe, supported, and seen.

Through guided practice and real-time feedback, you'll build the confidence to know when to use touch, when not to, and how to adapt your approach for different bodies.

Whether you're new to teaching or looking to refine your skills, you'll leave with practical tools you can bring into your classes right away.

🗓️ Sunday, September 20
⏰ 1:30–3:30 PM
📍 The Mat Lab Glebe, Ottawa

A yoga retreat is so much more than a getaway.

It’s the feeling of arriving somewhere new and knowing every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

From the people you’ll share the experience with, to the places you’ll explore, to the moments you’ll have to slow down and reconnect.

At Unroll the Mat, our retreats are designed to create meaningful experiences that go beyond the mat.

Small groups, intentional destinations, nourishing food, mindful travel, and the space to truly be present.

Because the best journeys aren’t just about where you go…

they’re about how you feel when you’re there.

Ready to unroll your mat somewhere new? I would love for you to join us!
