2) Intro to Yoga Courses
We really appreciate when you share your love of yoga with others and let people know about us! In our Intro courses we love teaching how to do the yoga postures, empowering students right from the beginning to understand their own bodies and how the yoga practice can work for them in their daily lives.
The Intro courses starting in October are:
Wed 12:05 with Lindsay: Oct 7-Nov 25 (express intro, $80)
Wed 7:45pm with Meaghan: Oct 7 Nov 25 ($100)
Thurs 5:30pm with Catherine: Oct 15 - Dec 3 ($100)
There is also a Beginner Drop-in class on Tuesdays at 5:30pm with Meaghan. This a great class for those who just want to try it out, for those with physical limitations who want a slower pace, and for more experienced yogis who just want to take it easy and get back to basics!
3) Family Yoga with Kymberley
Our first family yoga workshop was a success with 5 families and a whole lot of fun. If you would like to join the group with your little person or persons (3-9 years), the next one is Sunday October 25th, 2-3:15pm. The cost is $25.
Kymberley's love for yoga has lead her to expand her practice to involve yoga instruction to adults and children alike. After completing a 200 hour yoga teaching certification Kymberley has had the privilege of offering yoga to a wide range of students in local studios and gyms throughout Waterloo and Kitchener. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts in contemporary dance from Concordia University, and a Master of Arts from Wilfrid Laurier in communication studies, it has been beneficial to augment her education with a teaching certification in Kripalu yoga, a style known for inner-reflection and physical discipline. This training has allowed her to be immersed in an understanding of how the mind and body influence each other through the creative process, influencing her choreography & teaching style in both dance & yoga. Kymberley is excited to continue her study of yoga through a second 200 hour course, facilitated by Meaghan Johnson and Kristin Honey, under the tutelage of Hart Lazer.
4) Restorative Yoga with Brad
Watching people leave the restorative yoga for anxiety workshop last Sunday was beautiful. Faces were soft and relaxed, bodies looked restful, everyone was moving slowly.
This month's topic: Digestion
The digestive system is the root of all health. It's where you get nutrition for every cell in your body, including support for your immune system. If it is irritated, inflamed or constipated, it cannot do its job, and your health will steadily decline as a result. Join Brad in an easy evening of restful postures to aid and enhance this important bodily function.
Sunday October 25th, 5:30-7:30pm Cost: $25 Please register in advance.
5) Body Mind Meditation with Nancy Leach
An 8 week class in meditation using tools such as body scan, focus on body sensation and the principles of Body Mind Centering. This course is designed to take you out of the busy thinking mind, into the felt, somatic sense of the feeling body. To See Nancy's Bio please go to http://www.mjyoga.com/teachers_jj.html
Wednesdays 7:30-8:30pm Oct 7th - Dec 2nd $90 please register
Fridays Noon-1:00pm Oct 9th - Dec 4th $90 please register
6) Dance Workshop: Moving with Change, facilitated by Lauren Clarke
Saturday November 21st, 1-4pm, Cost: $35 (subsidies available upon request)
Our workshop with Lauren last spring was a great success, really fun, and we invite you to join her this November to explore themes of presence, awareness and change, themes that often arise in our yoga practices. This workshop provides a different method with similar goals to yoga, the method being dance and movement.
Workshop description:
From moment to moment we change. Our bodies fill with air when we breathe in and empty when we exhale. Our thoughts jump from yesterday's chocolate bar to a conflict at work. Our relationships transition from distance to connected and apart again. From moment to moment, we have the possibility of choosing how we move with change. During this three hour workshop, you will gain clarity on how you encounter change and the choices you make when faced with transition. We will experiment together using a variety of verbal and non-verbal exercises to feel our full range of aliveness. You are invited to come ready to move with and without music, through body and words.
Lauren Clarke, MSW, lives and works in Toronto and provides psychotherapy for groups and individuals seeking healing and growth. Lauren is a registered 5Rhythms® Movement Therapy facilitator, who has been practicing Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms® movement practice for over eight years across North America. Lauren draws upon her love of movement, self-reflection, and joy to create a vibrant, dynamic, grounded space for healing and play.
7) Weekend Workshop with Hart Lazer
The topic for the October 16th-18th weekend is Yoga for Self Transformation. The weekend will include some teaching elements as it is part of the YTT program,. It will have a large focus on personal work in yoga and meditation. And, as always with Hart, will be tailored to the needs of the group. There are two spots open if you want to take the plunge and join us for the weekend! For individual weekend: $320 + GST = $336
That is the QSY news! See you soon at the studio!
