Thank you so so much for the beautiful practices. It was exactly what my mind and spirit needed! It has been hard to quieten the mind as of late, and tonight was so helpful towards this. It felt so wonderful to allow myself 90 minutes without the phone, as I just focused on the present moment. I loved those humming breaths and will take this as a little technique to complete as needed.
Group classes include:
- Chanting to steady your mind.
- Asana (physical poses) to tone and massage your system.

- Pranayama (conscious breathing practices) to regulate your energy flow.
- Meditation to invite steadiness and stillness to your mind.
My weekly yoga sessions @ Experience Yoga for over 7 years now have helped me continue playing hockey without seeing the Osteopath or Physiotherapist as often. I am learning to breathe more deeply and to meditate both of which are a challenge for me. I am thrilled that my husband has finally started, and he loves it! He keeps telling everyone how much it is helping his flexibility and his hockey.
I’m different from other studios:
- no big crowds, with class sizes limited to 6-7 people.
- guaranteed space in your booked class.
- consistency of teaching, as I teach you each week.
- steady focus on best practice, your safety, your needs.
- care, interest and awareness of you, beyond the mat!
