Just Bee Yoga

Weekly yoga class planning Mala making class prep Self care plan for the week I love Sundays for getting up early, planning and looking forward to all the beautiful things in the week ahead, and being mindful to take the very best care of myself as well ... Today I have a graduation ceremony for a Trauma Informed Yoga training I took with @soulwork_rising and am feeling grateful, at ease, and excited for what’s next

Hey beautiful humans, I hope you all had a lovely week, but if not, maybe it was just a week and that’s okay too. Check in, connect with yourself, care for yourself and reach out for support if you need or just because. There are so many people who love you and want to be there for you....

Any injury or illness, whether it’s physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual, requires we adapt and change. It’s true of challenging circumstances as well. And because our bodies, brains, hearts and intuition are wise, we do what we need to, in order to minimize pain and discomfort. Sometimes it’s in ways that are incredibly transformative and healing but often our adaptations are not great long term strategies for health and wellness. When we are ready, we sink into t...he healing - then we really start to notice all the ways we moved around our hurt, instead of through it. Observing this, but also being kind and compassionate to ourselves while we learn and grow is so important. You were doing the best you can dont let guilt, shame or any other self doubt stop your beautiful self from moving forward

Our online class starts this Thursday January 14 at 7 pm! I am finalizing the class list for tomorrow night so let me know if I can save you a spot and we can start the new year right together!

#givingtuesday We all know yoga is so much more than what we do on the mat or touching your toes I’d like to connect more with hardworking volunteer and non profit organizations in 2021 so this giving Tuesday, I’m asking if you can comment below a favourite volunteer run organization or local non profit that I can reach out to in order to provide a free yoga class or workshop for their volunteers or staff next year.... Each Tuesday this December I will pick 3 organizations you have suggested and connect with them directly and my goal is to teach a free class a month to these hard working and dedicated members of our community. What organization do you think would benefit from this? Comment below and I’ll add their name to the list. It’s an easy way for you to give back and help me know who to give back to! Thank you in advance for being the kind, thoughtful and supportive community you are

A fancy new computer to see Just Bee Yoga into 2021! Thank you so much for everyone’s support this year - I am so excited to launch some new and exciting workshops and classes in January! I’ll have better equipment for online classes, for better quality programming for you beautiful humans! Announcements to come soon - can’t wait to see you all on the mat, whether in the studio, online, your home or mine

With all the chaos in the world, and in our own backyards, it’s hard not to feel anxious and unclear about what is next. For me, 2021 is a year of Svadhyaya (self study in Patanjali’s 8 fold path). Yoga is just as much about noticing how we live and love in this world as it is about a physical asana practice. And right now, we are in the perfect time and space to notice where and how we feel joy, sadness, despair, fear and heartache so we can appreciate, heal, grow and love o...urselves and each other through all of it. Notice when and where you feel grounded and safe. Pay attention to the moments where your heart and mind are in alignment. And where there is discomfort, that’s where the growth is, where your work is

I am so incredibly grateful to have been learning from this amazing human @adi_shakti_rising the last few months for a trauma informed yoga teacher training. Follow, like, take the trainings, support her humanitarian endeavours. It will impact you in ways you never expected. Thank you Adi Shakti, for always sharing, giving and being so real and vulnerable

And last but never least @little_village one of my local favourites! Delicious food, warm staff and so affordable for healthy take out. If you haven’t tried them, you MUST! Thank you so much @atbfinancial and @lindork for this incredible and delicious initiative! #adoptashopyeg

Lots of beautiful humans out there just trying to make their way, and it’s messy. One of my favourite meditation teachers Kat Boehm talks about the sandpaper of the heart, the grittier parts of life and love, parts that don’t always feel amazing. Especially loss. One of the hardest parts of growth and change and being human. But keep loving deeply because it’s who you are and we are all better off for it

I loved this initiative by @lindork and @atbfinancial because yoga off the mat is about relationships and community My second stop today was at Ben’s Meats, a staple of the Edmonton community for over 60 years. Not only do they have a beautiful meat and cheese selection, they have so many delicious candy, chocolate and Dutch imports and one of the biggest gluten free sections I’ve ever seen! Check them out for everyday food items, special treats, gifts and even lunch! #AdoptAShopYEG

I spent a lovely morning getting started on my @atbfinancial #AdoptAShopYEG commitment (more like delightment ) @ch.cafeteria A new local business owned by two lovely couples from Mexico who make the most delicious take home products (including not-ella chocolate spread) and serve so much real chocolate in house (including five kind of hot chocolate). I picked up Christmas gifts and a few things for myself and highly recommend visiting - especially to those ladies in my c...ircle missing Mexico and it’s people and spirit Thank you so much for this inspiring and delicious initiative @lindork
