CLASSES IN LADYSMITH

In these classes, I invite people to take the pause needed to be present, connect with their body, and make mindful choices from that place of listening and noticing.

Come to experience a place where the only expectation is to try to stay present with the moment and nothing else.

A truly All-levels class that will serve as a basis to bring your yoga practice off the mat and into your life.

I like to provide yoga classes that present the sweetness of yoga in a fun and creative way. I support the growth and connection of children and families through play, partner/group poses and lots of laughter. We also explore movement, breath, co-creation, crafts, music and other inspiring methods to help us be our best selves.

Yoga creates a nurturing atmosphere that helps children and families relax and have fun. Yoga also helps develop physical and emotional strength, as well as body and breath awareness. It improves balance, flexibility, focus and self-confidence.

“We asked Jake what he liked about family yoga, and these are the words of a five-year-old. Number one was Varenka- He thought you were fun and nice, number two was going on imaginary adventures, and I asked what he learned from yoga, and he said balance and breathing. From the adult perspective, it was a fun way to play together, let go of our inhibitions and try something new.  We knew it was a great activity to be involved in when Jake asked constantly when the next class was going to be.”
