Okay so I am literally a hot mess - hot flashes have hit big time the last few weeks , I’m hardly sleeping for more than a few hours at a time, I’m on a roller ...coaster emotionally and the recent events involving the indigenous children’s graves has taken me to places within myself that I find myself uncomfortable in and the urge to rage and point my finger is so strong! Oh yes, and we are in a second year of a global pandemic trying to dig ourselves out of another lockdown. In case you didn’t know Enter Yoga. Besides being outside, moving and going deeply into natural settings, it’s the only thing helping me settle within myself. And then I notice I now NEED to share yoga with you all - it’s an essential part of my practice now. I can only imagine many of you feel the same way , at least in some ways, as I do, and I simply am counting the days when we can meet in person again. Until then, we have virtual classes at the studio, or outside classes, bugs and weather permitting! Tomorrow, I am offering Virtual Vinyasa 5:30 - 6:30 pm YogaLife. Please pre register . I would LOVE to practice with you all See more

Yin Yoga tonight 6-7:15pm YogaLife We’ll breathe with ocean breath

Lyrics by FC Kahuna-Hayling Vinyasa Yoga by Beth 5:30-6:30pm YogaLife

Very few things bring me the great pleasure, release freedom and ACCEPTANCE I feel when I practice yoga, even in the wee hours of the morning, before I go to wo...rk, before my family is awake, head phones on while the world around me sleeps. A close second to this depth of joy and maybe a tie is the experience of SHARING this yoga. Tonight YogaLife 6-7:15 pm Yin See more

YogaLife Friday classes with Beth

It’s Friday!!! What a week we’ve had here- we were all tested for Covid and had to pull back from school and work. I was the only one asymptomatic so although I... wasn’t legally bound to self isolate until results came back , I was extremely careful and pulled away from offering yoga altogether until I heard the news that all of us tested negative - which we have I’m happy to say I’m teaching 2 classes today YogaLife - gentle yoga 10:30-11:30 am Vinyasa Flow 5:30-6:30 pm Lots of music , lots of healthy movement and easy, deep breath. I’m so grateful for negative results and fellow teachers who’ve got my back See more

Check out @yogalifens.com for details about classes and registration. Classes have been at capacity or close to it these days so it’s best to book ahead. Hope to see you soon

‘Viparita Karani’ or my version of legs up the wall. Spent the whole week outside training as a letter carrier. Yoga isn’t all about action and neither is life.... In fact, receptivity and not taking action sometimes was a huge asset navigating different people, places , information and situations. Friyay!!! See more

Things aren’t the same. There is no denying that. It is time for us to move on, go forth, take that first step. The kids going back to school, school staff - th...ey are doing an amazing , inspiring job , all of them. I heard a yogi come to class the other day: she said, ‘if the kids can do it then I can start coming to classes again too.’ It was wonderful to see her and do yoga with her. We practiced in a different studio, in a different town, with some new faces, some familiar faces with more distance and more hygienic awareness. We must move forward now and step into this moment or be left behind in a time that is no longer, except in our minds. Let go of phantoms of the past and breathe into this day. I’m teaching today 5:30-6:30 pm Vinyasa Flow at YogaLife in Wolfville. It’s Friday!!

Starting September 8th, I’ll be offering yoga at YogaLife in Wolfville. Contact: yogalifens.com to register and for details.

My goals going forward

I realized something today -I’ve changed. I’m not the person I was in March. These circumstances have changed me. I made some difficult choices and changes. I f...aced some painful truths , about myself, about others. I faced some deep fears - about dying, being alone, not receiving the love that I needed from those who I needed it most from, and I grew through it all. I have learned how to love myself more deeply than I ever thought possible. I have learned that I’m much more than I appear to be, even to myself. Maybe especially. I am thankful for this time. This difficult and strange time. And the funny thing is is that I realized all of this while I was upside down in a headstand while practicing yoga. It’s the beautiful and magnificent thing about practicing yoga- it can change you, shake you up, give you clarity, resolve, bravery, make you strong, and lend wisdom. This is why Yoga is not merely a physical practice - it is not. And I can not wait until I start teaching again. See more

Great news for the fall ! I’ll be offering 3 classes/ week at Yogalife in Wolfville in September and onward. A Yin Essentials, a gentle morning yoga ( think Yo...ga and Healthy Aging style) and a Vinyasa! Times will almost be exactly as they were offered when I taught at My Yoga Space - so no big surprises and one of them I’ve made a bit more convenient, I believe. Classes will be small ( max 10) so if we find we might need to add more, we can work something out. There will be more details going forward and a schedule will be up and coming - I just wanted to let you all know ( of those of you who are on here) I am very excited to join Karissa Fraser and the other wonderful teachers and excited to re connect with some of my homies from my days of teaching at Acadia and of course, really excited to see all of you. I think we will be happy in our new home in Wolfville, practicing yoga. Life must go on my dears See more

My Yoga Space is permanently closing its doors. To keep a long story short - Covid made me do it. Change is a constant in life and so it must be For those of ...you with mats at the studio, I will be available at the studio tomorrow 1-3 pm for you to collect it. If this doesn’t work for you , contact me with alternatives. For those of you that practice with me (Beth), I have already reached out to you privately by email. For those of you that practice with Karen or Joy, you can reach out to them for any reason regarding the future of practicing with them. For those of you that practiced with Betty, reach out to her. If you don’t have their contact info, message me. I am not able to compensate any of you monetarily for unused punchcards, as the business functioned in an essentially non profit fashion, after overhead and teachers were paid, so I am very sorry for your loss in this way. I will be offering virtual classes and when the time comes I have graciously been offered, purely from the heart of a yogi who truly practices yoga in a non competitve and collective fashion, a beautiful place to meet and practice together that will allow for lots of physical distancing and smaller classes without the looming monthly pressure of rental fees in these circumstances that make owning a small business very difficult - more on this in the weeks ahead. This will be a difficult loss for us all and many of you have practiced at the studio longer than I have and my heart goes out to you as you lose your sacred space to practice yoga in Kentville. We have all experienced some kind of grieving, some kind of loss during this unprecedented time and we must allow ourselves to mourn in whatever way we need to in order to release and to see the wisdom inherent in change and challenges- this is no different. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for info regarding the studio, your things, or the whereabouts of any of the teachers and where they might be offering. Namaste

To all who have reached out and are interested in sharing in a live yin class with me ( Beth) - I am going to begin NEXT Saturday and NOT TODAY. I think I need ...to give some of you more time to contact me ( you can message on my fb page, either Beth Louise Ross or My Yoga Space or [email protected] or message me @902 690 7804 and I’ll give you all the info from there. Those of you with friends/ sisters etc who aren’t on social media - tell them too - I might miss somebody through emails as I know some of you have changed your emails etc since practicing with me. This is a very new format for me to offer yoga through and I know it will be new for some of you too. I think I’ll give us all another week to prepare and don’t hesitate to contact me if you need a mat or prop or anything like that Looking forward to seeing you all soon, zoom style. See more
