The Loft Yoga and Therapy
#3-378 1st Street SE T1A 0A6 Medicine Hat, AB, Canada

Morning are for reflection and setting intention for your day. What if your intention was to experience joy? Joy in the little things, joy in the remembrance, joy in the present moment. Today, we at The Loft invite you to notice. To notice or create the space for moments of joy. Joy can come from the most simple of things, a song, a smile, a well crafted yoga class, a sunset, a belly laugh...... Your invited to schedule joy in. Help your soul to sing! ... Below is a song that brings Chris joy, it reminds her of listening to music with her dad, him play guitar, and she can’t help but dance. If you feel called to do so, share with us below what brings you joy.

As you may have heard today, The Loft’s physical yoga studio will not be opening and there is no timeline as to when the physical studio may open again as per government regulations. This is met with an understanding yet sad heart. We sure do miss seeing you in real life!!! Let’s all continue to do our part so that these numbers come down. We have got this Loft Community!!!!... Remember though! We are not closed!!!! We are also so very grateful that we can see you and guide you in our online studio. We hope to see you soon!!! Online yoga is fabulous!!!

As per Premier Kennedy’s announcement we will be offering exclusively virtually classes for the next two weeks. Many of you have reached out to let us know how much you miss in person classes, how much you miss the connection you feel when you walk in the door, how much you miss the teachers, and each other. We miss you too, we miss all of the things you do. In this time of separation, it is such a joy to see you all online! To see your smiling faces, the laughter, and so...metimes frustration, we hold when the laptop accidentally gets unplugged and you get a super long savasana or the internet freezes making the teacher look like a zombie or like the teacher teleported right into another pose. The studio will open again. Yes! It will. When? We have been asked this question. That’s a question only our decision makers can answer. What can we do? Take a deep breathe. We can keep supporting each other in the courageous ways we have been. We can get on our mats and lean into our practice. We can challenge our expectations and look at this as a new experience, one different from in studio. We can lean into this discomfort and we can keep going. We, the collective we, have got this. Please join us online. Your mat is there for you, we the teacher at The Loft are there for you. We promise you will feel better! Make sure you are looking after you and yours! Hope to see you soon.

Virtual Empower You Yoga with Chris is a go for 9:30am tomorrow. Hope to see you on your mat!

Dear Loft Community, You are so valued. Thank you for being part our community right now or of this warm blanket. Have you checked out today’s offerings on MINDBODY? We would love to see you!!!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

We have a choice right now........ to nurture love..... to nurture kindness..... or to nurture fear....... to nurture anger. Both are normal reactions. Yoga helps us recognize our reactions through inviting us to slow down and reflect creating space for self-awareness, for choice. Often when we step away from our mats, is when we need it the most. ... You are invited to choose! Choose to be brave at heart and lean into you. Choose your mat. Choose you. Choose love. Choose kindness. We are here to hold space for you along the way.

This song resonated deeply with me during my morning practice. As we setting into acceptance of what is, grief is normal. Yet, in the end only kindness matters. Enjoy! - Chris https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1rGlqV79xFA

Good morning! As we near the end of 2020, reflection is normal. Today, we are curious. What books, podcasts, poems, etc have inspired you or changed your life? For Chris, The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama started her journey towards a different way of seeing the world and Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth greatly assisted her in beginning to explore and practice mindfulness. We invite you to help our community grow!!! Please share in the comments below, we are all so curious.
