Masks on! Under Code Orange/Restricted guidelines we are all required to wear a mask in public spaces. We ask that you keep your mask on until you are settled on your mat or bike, then you have the option to remove it. When you're ready to leave, it's masks on again! If you don't have a mask or forget, just ask at the front desk. ... Everything else remains the same - we're all doing everything we can to keep each other safe but appreciating the need for a space where you can escape the chaos and uncertainty. Your state of mind and stress levels are important factors in your overall health and for a resilient immune system. We will be here for you as long as we can be.

It's moving day! We are moving, virtually! It's been years in the making but finally, today, we are switching software providers from Mindbody to Wellness Living. (a Canadian company) While we make the switch our systems will be down and you won't be able to book a class or make modifications through our online schedule or the Mindbody app. This is why we thought it best to cancel the Barre class tonight. Don't worry, this has all been planned so that everything will be worki...ng normally when you are ready to sign up for next week's classes. Just for today and tomorrow, if you need to make any changes to your schedule for the Thursday or Friday morning classes (cancel, or sign up) please email the studio or text Susanif you have her cell number. Once we are live in Wellness Living you will receive a Welcome email with details to activate your account. All of your history, scheduled classes, and pricing options will carry over! Just like before, there will be two options for managing your schedule - online through our website, or on your tablet or phone through the Connections app. That's right, we now have our very own custom app! Here are the links to download it: App Store (iOS): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1529424602 Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details Thank you so much for your patience and understanding, we think it's totally going to be worth it!! If you have any questions or trouble, we are right here to help. Email us [email protected] Enjoy this beautiful day!

Ready or not, here we go! Someone asked me this morning if I was ready for this change and it made me wonder - are we ever completely ready? (Maybe that's my recovering perfectionist talking. ) At the moment I feel pretty good, even though I haven't gotten to everything on the to-do lists. Some days I have been extremely frustrated, wondering why I made this decision. Other times the overwhelm has spilled over into tears, a form of release.... Who knows what Thursday will bring - wanting to pull my hair out, or going with the flow, as imperfect as it might be. Either way, I'm sure that the presence, patience, and mindfulness we learn in our yoga classes will help. How are you with change? Has the pandemic taught you to be more adaptable? What helps to ground you through tough times? Ready or not, life happens. And we're in it together.

September long weekend! Are you s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g the last bit of summer out of it? We've got one foot in summer, and the other in fall. I've been feeling like this image at the studio lately - one foot in the past and the other firmly planted in the future. Eeek, it's a scary sensation being between two things. Are we ready? Have we thought of everything? Will it go smoothly? We'll see! When you're in this place it's best to stay calm and keep breathing. Have a great l...ong weekend, everyone! We wish you more sunshine than rain. Image from The Daily Mail, UK

Mask? Or no mask? Wearing a mask in our space is currently optional and a matter of personal preference. If the provincial guidelines change, then so will we. In the meantime it's all about doing what you need to do to feel safe going through this new Covid life as normally as possible.... Take care out there. * It also helps if you have a friend who can make you a beautiful mask that fits.

September It's time for a change. A new month. A new school year. And, soon, a new season.... Change is part of life. Change is inevitable. Change is sometimes resisted, but change is growth. We are very excited about changes that are coming to the studio soon. Stay tuned for the news!

I love this time of year at the studio. Teachers and students bring in boxes and bags of tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, etc. Those who have bring and share with those who don't. It's not something that you would expect but here at Connections you can come for a class and leave with fresh, healthy vegetables! ... #thisiscommunity #healthandwellness #sharingiscaring

You may have noticed that there is no Yoga Flow class on the schedule tonight. Kaytlin had her wisdom teeth out last week and we wanted her to have lots of time to recover and take care of herself. Please join me in sending her some virtual hugs and if you need some in this time of uncertainty they're here for you, too!

Note to self: productivity is not just going, going, going and doing, doing, doing. Rest is an important part of our productivity as well. Our fur babies are so good at taking time for rest, even in the most unexpected places. How cute is Harley, curled up in my bag? Thanks to the folks at @thrive for the reminder. The colours made me think of the weekend - what restful things are you going to make space for to help with your productivity next week?... Rest isn't just for the weekend though. Check out a Yin class on Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday and we can practice slowing down and resting, together.

Summer Yoga Yoga at the lake or beach is awesome but if you're here in town we've got some space in Kaytlin's Yoga Flow class at 5:30 pm tonight. Come inside and cool off!

A little rain to water the plants, gardens, and grass, now the sun is back out and a new week awaits. The schedule for this week is up and ready for you. Make sure to book some time for yourself!

Not everything is bad news. Here's to a new week!

Blue skies and sunshine, what wonderful weather for the long weekend! We hope that you are kicking back and enjoying some time in nature with family or friends. The studio is closed this weekend so there are no classes on Monday. See you for Barre class on Tuesday morning or Yoga Flow after work. Cheers!
