This class combines seated, standing and lying postures, with slow and mindful movements that focus on alignment and safety. Ample instruction will allow you to move safely into each pose, with sufficient time to employ props and make adjustments. The class truly honours the varied nature of each student’s body and range of motion. Yoga blocks (or sturdy books), a yoga strap (or tie or scarf), a bolster (or cushions) and a blanket are recommended.

POP-UP CLASS SINCE THE WEATHER LOOKS GREAT!
This lunch-hour class will leave you feeling energized and ready to tackle the rest of your day. Join me at charming Osborne Park in Old Ottawa South during the month of September for a 45-minute Hatha yoga class. We will explore asanas, or postures, to work on range of motion, balance, strength, flexibility and mindful breathing. Each class will be different and offer lots of variations so that this practice is truly your own. This class is especially great for anyone working at home!

Students will be notified by e-mail of rain cancellations 45 minutes to one hour before class start time. The class will be credited back to your account.

This class is drop-in format. You can use an Outdoor Drop-in pass ($15) or the 5-Class Pass ($70).

This 6-week series will help you move well, breathe well and progressively build your yoga practice. Hatha Flow continually connects mindful movement and breath to help you stay focused and present. Postures are sequenced so that one flows easily and creatively to the next. We will work on range of motion, balance, strength, flexibility and mindful breathing. Each class will be different and offer options so that this practice is truly your own. Yoga blocks (or sturdy books) and a yoga strap (or tie or scarf) can be great tools to make the practice more accessible!

This series is great for anyone who sits all day and/or wants to move in a more mindful way. If the weather is good, we may take our practice outside on the beautiful back lawn!

Preference is for full-series registration. Book using the 6-week series pass. Drop-in bookings ($15/class) may be possible if space permits.

Yin postures are primarily about release. They are passive in nature and held anywhere from one to five minutes to target the body’s connective tissues. This practice focuses on stilling the body for a gentle, sustained sensation rather than a deep stretch. This stillness, combined with gentle movement and breathwork, calms the mind and settles the nervous system. Helpful props to bring include: yoga bolster (or cushions/pillows/rolled up blanket); 1-2 blankets; yoga blocks (or sturdy books); and a yoga strap (or tie or scarf).
