I took a trip down memory lane... A lane that had no entrepreneurship, no stress, no worries, no COVID, nothing pressing to get done, no sleepless nights, no back pain, no sequences to plan, no massage waitlist... It was nice to live there for a couple of hours on my ‘Friday night’, along with the entire Sigh No More album ... Memory lane or present lane, I am truly grateful and to be honest, surprised at where I am today. I would not change it for the world. What a trip ladies can we go back? #montana #memorylane #magicbus #girlstrip #musicfestivals #noworries #grateful

Do you remember when your parents influenced your haircut? This morning I woke up to this photo sent from mum, thanks for the reminder of my mushroom cut I remember being petrified to hold this bird of prey, but doing it because everyone else in school was and I wanted approval. I wanted to ‘fit in’. Are you living your own dream, or did you steal someone elses? It’s important to learn what you love, instead of playing a game you know nothing about.... #holdyourselfaccountable #livingthedream #birdofprey #mushroomcut #youngemily #thanksmum #schooldays

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall ~ Nelson Mandela #hike #castlemountain #daysoff #quotestoliveby sweet shot by @juliakittner_

Once upon a time, I planted more than a million trees, with my dear friend Claire, over the course of 3 years in Australia. Most days it was above 40 degrees, we started work at 4am, and finished by 12pm. My alarm would go off at 3am. I had the best time and met the most incredible people. I remember them all. Our work ethic was shared and even. I learnt what real, hard work was when that job started and I have never forgotten, which led me to where I am now. We are all put o...n this earth to help each other. To support one another. To work together. We don’t give up on each other, unless it’s time to move on. We respect everyone that crosses our path, regardless of how they treat us because there is always a lesson to be learnt, even if it stings. Never forget who believed in you and helped make your dreams come true. I certainly won’t. Thank you to my dream team in this life so far, my cheerleaders, you know who you are @curryscurries @healer_from_the_heart @erin_evans @sophie_rossell just to mention a few... #treeplanting #australia #workhard #workethic #trees #travel #livehard #lovehard #dreams #respect #teamwork #support #love #grateful

When you switch off, magic happens You make room for you. You remember how much you love to relax. You remember that feeling you got when you use to sit and daydream as a 12 year old, before life became full of challenge and responsibility.... You remember what it’s like to not need acceptance or approval by anyone, because life stands still when you let it. You remember that you don’t need very much at all Thank you for having us Barbara #minivacation #invermere #cottageheaven #logcabin #getaway #magic #relax #escape #therapy #summertime #love #remember #daydreaming

Right now you are being called to attention. As Banff implements mandatory mask wearing from Friday, we are forced to find our voices, and you as much as anyone, deserves to be heard. My one question - can you be the light right now? No chasing conflict or creating it, just BE THE LIGHT. It’s hard work but we need it more than ever.... Nothing is permanent. We are in this life to learn how to surrender to the good, the bad and the ugly. After being completely heartbroken, my sister once said it doesn’t get harder Emily, it will only get easier now. I have never forgotten her words. If I can keep @banffyogapractice and my massage business open, I will do whatever it takes to keep everyone feeling safe and loved, and will try my best to be the light. I can promise you that #amen #surrender #pray #light #listen thanks for the photo Mum & Dad, and for the advice Sarah xxx

You win some, you lose some. You please some, you disappoint some. You try your best to be your most authentic, compassionate, truth spoken, honourable, willing self, and you will still hurt some hearts along the way, and not because you ever intended to, but because not everyone will understand you, and that’s ok. Just remember a meaningful apology goes a long way.... We deal differently. We feel differently. We have a short time on this earth. Be brave, be bold, be kind, be YOU Thanks for the sweet shot @drstibanff #yoga #play #balance #bold #brave #kind #compassion #apology #forgiveness #smile #laughter #yogateacher #love #practice #banffyogapractice

The pressure of doing it all is very present for me lately. And not only doing it all but doing it perfectly, which years of yoga has taught me doesn’t exist, and even if it did exist, we shouldn’t crave it or ever get attached to the idea of perfection. We can’t do it all, we don’t need to ever do it all, and imagine how boring life would be if we could? Pick your jams and spread the love you have for them around the world. Master your craft, honour it, serve it the best tha...t you can, and never lose sight of how fortunate you are to have gotten this far, wherever you are. Even when you think you have mastered your craft, there is more to learn, always. Remember, you will not please everyone, because you were never suppose to #yoga #seatedposehalfboundlotus #smile #liveyourlife #nopressure #ashtanga #catchatoe

How many chances are you willing to give? How many times will you say, it’s ok, I forgive you, I’m sorry when inside, your heart says no more. This world is changing rapidly. People are stepping up and speaking out loud but it’s not always for the greater good. Sometimes it is just for show. But I get it, everybody wants to be a somebody.... When do we bring back accountability, ownership of fuck ups, and reminding each other that perfection doesn’t exist? Life is about progression. Complete equality. Pure, honest connection that brings trust. Being heard yes, but also listening to others and understanding that everyone is suffering. We are all navigating through shitty times and good times. We are allowed to make mistakes, but we are not meant to hold on to those mistakes, they do not define you. Do you trust that you are taken care of by a higher power? Then stop forcing anything

When we are in control and have complete abundance, it can get messy. We struggle to then accept rejection in any way. When we receive constant praise, we make the mistake of placing ourselves on a pedestal and our head can get lost in the clouds. (They are clouds that only you can see). When we achieve success we can ruin it by forgetting how we got there. The help we had, the financial means that got us there, the self care that we’ve now lost, so we rely on others to make ...us happy. Remember where you came from, and the journey you’ve had. Just because you have a bit more recognition, doesn’t mean you are any better than the next person. A warrior never looses sight of hardship, teamwork, kindness, or love. @gauchltd thank you for this shot #warrior #virabhadrasana #yoga #yogateacher #practice #practiceandalliscoming #banffyogapractice

Therapy. Did you know that singing, humming and chanting stimulates the vagus nerve, which is connected to your vocal chords and muscles at the back of your throat? This stimulation helps to slow the heart rate and the sympathetic stress response, which therefore balances your nervous system and reduces anxiety....

Dreaming of being on retreat in Greece As I find myself frustrated with tourists, it sure is nice to see life in our little mountain town again...And I have to remind myself how much I love to travel @healer_from_the_heart and I will be heading back to Greece next year, who’s joining us? @gauchltd ... #greece #aegina #retreat #yoga #meditation #wellness #selfcare

When you reach the top of a mountain, do you grab your water first or your phone? The more we connect to our phones, the more we disconnect from ourselves. I’m guilty too. I am becoming more and more aware of what serves me and what doesn’t.... Self care is reading a book before bed instead of having bright lights in your eyes. It’s having a massage when you make up the excuse of I don’t have time when reality it you are prioritizing others first, yes I do it too. I want to shift my perspective and my patterns, do you? #mountains #banffnationalpark #tunnelmountain #hike #nature #getoutside #selfcare #rundlemountain

I will be back massaging very soon If you are already a client of mine, and had a cancelled appointment in the last 3 months, please email me if you would like to rebook - [email protected]. I am trying manage the bookings more carefully as I slowly open up If you are not currently a client, I will not be taking new clients until August. Thank you for your understanding I will continue to post updates here and on my website emilygionis.com. I will of course be pro...viding a safe and clean environment as always. I promise you are in good clean hands #massage #banff #clean #safe #treatment #relax #rest #renew

You can change old patterns but you must want to change. Repeating what we know, or have been taught, is easy, comfortable, familiar. Or is it? ~ Step outside the box. We are here to evolve. We were born courageous, curious and creative. Where did we get lost? ~ #change #breakthepattern #yoga #baddhaanjaneyasana #evolve

Everyday in April practice yoga Everyday in May, hike tunnel mountain Everyday in June, hike tunnel and practice yoga, sure ... ~ These challenges right now are helping me believe I can get through these hards times, and weather any storm. #hikemountains #breathe #yoga #banffnationalpark #routine #challenge #june #sleepingbuffalo #everydamnday #wakeup

Starts today!!!

My teacher in Bali told me yesterday that the Balinese people aren’t receiving any money from the government. There is no help for them if they have no work. Think about that for a moment...they also believe that their spirits are keeping them safe ~ If you have already eaten today, you are privileged. If you have work, you are extremely fortunate. If your home has more than one room, you are considered wealthy. ~ I hear people saying they are bored. They are broke. They h...ave no motivation. When truth is, we can’t spend time alone, we waste money on non-essentials and we are lazy. ~ This is the time to step up. What life do you want to live? As T.D. Jakes brilliantly states, it should be called Correction-19, not COVID-19. Amen bishop #yoga #stepup #gratitude #summeriscoming #stretch #wakeup #meditation #inspiration #love #practice #practiceandalliscoming

4 years ago, I was approached by @harmonsbanff to teach yoga on this incredibly beautiful rooftop of the Harmon’s building in Banff National Park. ~ Am I dreaming? was my immediate thought. There was no hesitation in my response - it was an immediate yes. ~ I try hard to live my life listening to my gut and my intuition. Yoga has taught me not to think about the headstand but to do and be completely present in the headstand. Not counting the breath, not analyzing my stren...gth or performance, but just being there, in the moment. ~ Hesitation creates unnecessary suffering. Doubt creates fear and imbalance. My practice has taught me how to respond quickly, and how not to react. ~ This year will be the 4th year of Rooftop Yoga, only this time run through our beautiful studio @banffyogapractice. I get to share this space with our extremely talented teachers and my one in a billion business partner @healer_from_the_heart. I can’t wait to be in this roof again!!! You? Head to banffyogapractice.com to purchase your rooftop pass or to simply check out the schedule. 12 Rooftop classes a week, starting June 22nd . #yoga #gowithyourgut #grateful #yes #cascademountain #banffnationalpark #mybanff #meditation #harmony #rooftopyoga #outdooryoga #summer #rockymountains #practice #banffyogapractice #yogapractice

Hello, can you hear me? ~ I’m learning the importance of talking to myself lately; my body, mind and spirit. This song hit home today, plus who doesn’t love Adele? I some days avoid my mat (lately) because feeling is too much. A class where I’m led? Sure. Teaching? Sure. But being my own guide? That’s when for me, it really kicks in.... You gotta go in, to come out. Drag yourself there, dig in, do the postures you would rather not do, create a conversation with your body; pain reveal yourself, and tell me what you need from me. ~ A deep emotion from hip surgery at the age of 2 is where I’m at right now #yoga #yogaheals #practice #banffyogapractice #pain #pleasure #samesamebutdifferent #homepractice #yogateacher #listen #conversation

Finally put air in my bike tires (thank you Ryan) and finally to her for a spin to vermillion, what a day! ~ Before I came to Banff, this is the first mountain I saw a photo of from an old friend who then brought me here. Anyone that has stood in front of, or on top of Mount Rundle knows how spectacular this beast is. ~ Anyone that lives in the Bow Valley during all of this, I pray that you have gratitude and know just how blessed we all are to be ‘stuck’ here ... . #banffnationalpark #mybanff #mountrundle #bowvalley #vermillionlakes #bluebird #beauty #pictureperfect #gratitude #blessed #wow See more

I have the voice of a teacher always in my head. Press into your first finger and thumb more, soften your shoulders, lift your thighs, don’t strain your neck. Stay. Never give up. Get to your mat everyday. ~ Some days I want that teacher to silence. To eat junk food and not care. To stay in bed all day. To not climb that mountain. To not take the bind in a yoga pose. To be lazy. To not think about consequences... ~ But. My tapas burns hot. I believe it’s something we are bo...rn with, or perhaps we bring it from a past life? You? ~ #yoga #upwardfacingdog #urdhvamukhasvanasana #liftyourheart #soften #acceptwhoyouare #begrateful #tapas #niyamas See more

Have you heard? ~ There is a new Chef in town @theradiant.banff ~ This man was born to lead. Born to create magic. Born to work hard. Born to blow people’s minds. So friggin proud of you @curryscurries can’t WAIT to taste your menu!... . #chef #radiantbanff #focus #malasana #notjustthecurryman #proud #sayyes #challenge #banffnationalpark #restaurant #newplacetogo #leader #theboss See more

Has this pandemic revealed a new version of yourself? A version you didn’t know existed? A version you don’t like, or perhaps prefer? ~ When I’m feeling sorry for myself, I’m reminded that there are people receiving no financial help from their government or landlords. That there are people dying alone in hospitals. That I am privileged to have the problems I have. That I can get myself to my yoga mat. ~ Whatever version you find, is worthy of love ... #yoga #practice #banffyogapractice #ashtavakrasana #ashtanga #yogateacher #armbalance #mandala #lululemon

Take. Me. Back. #greece #paros #travel #beachlife #heartopening #islandlife

It’s all up to you, so what happens next? ~ Your decision. Your move. Your call. Your moment to shine. Get yourself in the zone because we’re all coming back out slowly. ~ As the government begins to announce reopening, I’m not ready. I’ve only just surrendered and it feels damn good.... ~ Highlight - Practicing with my teachers from around the world. Lesson - Slow. The. Fuck. Down. You can’t do it all. ~ What about you? . . . . . #yoga #practice #banffyogapractice #yogisquat #malasana #garlandpose #meditate #breathe #yogi #areyouready #surrender See more

This week has been an emotional I’m very good at hiding it...the people around me that support me and believe in me no matter what, THANK YOU. You know who you are . ~ Promise me you will never push your feelings off to the side. You will instead pay attention to them because they represent what you are going through, and how will you get through it if you don’t recognize and address the issue? Are you listening yet or are you still just looking ahead to when life goes ba...ck to normal? Use this time to FEEL. Feel it all. The good and the bad. ~ Times are tough for everyone right now, so if you think for a second that anyone has it easy, think more clearly. We’re all in this together, means we are all suffering in some way. It is not a competition, it is time to find compassion and empathy for everyone . ~ Lets move from thinking, to feeling. Lift up anyone that you can right now. We’ve got this, but the lessons must be learnt and the time must be put in. No more excuses. ~ Thank you @berndwindhofer and Rolf Gates for your teachings this week, you lifted me up #hashtag #guitar #songbird #singyourheartout #music #musicheals #movementismedicine

Stop for a second and entertain the idea that the universe is giving you this time to assess your life pre-pandemic...because soon this will be over and you get to decide all over again what you want from this beautiful life Are you blaming your lack of motivation on COVID-19?

What is the key to kicking up with straight legs and looking more graceful? Let me guess... Stronger glutes.... Stronger legs. Better balance. More trust. Bandhas. Can I and should I, do a 30 day handstand challenge? Yes. The real question is do I want to...? What postures are you all working on and what do you avoid? #handstandpractice #practice #handstandjourney #yoga #practiceandalliscoming #practice #whyisitsohard #upsidedown #inversion

How do you adapt during a time like this? How do you learn? How do you move forward? You teach yourself how, and you look for those sharing this lifetime with you, that can teach you too. It’s not a mystery, it’s all at your fingertips, you just have to search, choose and commit to creating a better life for yourself and therefore the world around you. ~... #learn #search #yoga #lesson #moveyourbody #bebetter #commit #banffyogapractice #practice #anjaneyasana #adapt See more

I miss being in this space with all of you. I miss greeting you all at the door. I miss the laughter. I miss the tears. I miss chanting the Ashtanga opening invocation with you all and hearing your voices.... I miss turning the lights off for Savasana. I miss our phenomenal teachers. I miss it all even though we were only open for 1 month before this global crisis. ~ As I continue to show up online and teach our beautiful community of practitioners at @banffyogapractice, one thing I am absolutely certain of...my fire and determination is stronger than ever. I will never give up on the business that @healer_from_the_heart and I created from a dream. We are the studio where everyone matters.

Today felt heavy. I dragged myself to my yoga mat after working on what one day might be, a ‘day off’...in #prasaritapadottanasana C, my left knee screamed at me, so I let the pain dictate what happened next. ~ I took advantage of my aerial silk, my breath and my handstand, anything that would take the pressure off. Honestly, there’s many days when I don’t listen to my body, but today, I had to. My point? ~ We are all on our own journey. You get to decide how you look after y...ourself. Some days you might eat too many chocolate bars, some days you might push too hard in your practice, some days you might refuse to do what you promised yourself you would. What is your vice? What is your level of discipline? Be honest with yourself. ~ Pain or no pain, I step on my mat. ~ Day off or no day off, I step on my mat. ~ COVID-19 or no COVID-19, I step on my mat. ~ This practice has built more discipline in me than I ever could have dreamed off. It has made me who I am today and for that, I will continue to share yoga to the world @banffyogapractice Day 2! #yoga #practice #practiceandalliscoming #staythecourse #wisewords #loveyoga #grateful #asana #pain #teacher #yogachallenge #discipline #vice #nevergiveup #30daychallenge

Do you remember saying: Omg, I’m so busy, I need a break. ~ F**k, Banff is so busy, when will this stop?... ~ I can’t possibly serve another table, please don’t seat me. ~ I can’t cook another order, stop seating people. ~ I can’t teach another class this week, I don’t even have time for my own practice. ~ Another massage client? How can I keep doing all of this? ~ S**t, I have so much stuff in my house/room, I need time to de-clutter and clean! What about... Omg, I just need some time alone. ~ Me, I remember. ~ The universe listens to you, remember that . #bealone #listen #meditation #truth #doyouremember #universelistens #energy #becarefulwhatyouwishfor #askandyouwillreceive #gratitude #practice

Crisis reveals character. ~ Crisis reveals truth. ~ Crisis reveals desperation and fear. Fear that no-one sees when you get to cover it up with a busy life that only you create.... ~ Observe your behaviour everyday right now. Observe your wellbeing. Observe others (from a distance). It blows my mind when people complain right now, about anything. If you are HEALTHY, it is enough. I truly believe that. Keep your mind and your body clean. You have time now to improve how you choose to live. ~ Thank you to everyone making this world a better place and for our global community of peace seekers, healers and lovers. Don’t be a fighter right now, nor should you ever be.

2020, so far has made me stronger than ever. ~ You have taught me how to let go in a second. ~ You have taught me how to never take things personally.... ~ You have led me to open my second business @banffyogapractice. ~ You have reminded me that kindness is a necessity, not a luxury. Please everyone be careful with your words right now as they are extremely powerful. ~ ~ We decided to close our yoga studio this Wednesday until COVID-19 leaves us alone so we can take care of our community in the only way that feels right. Don’t worry, online yoga classes are coming this week My massage business will be reduced dramatically and possibly stopped completely depending on the urgency of self isolation. Am I scared? Honestly, no, because of my practices; my yoga, my meditation, my pranayama and my faith. ~ We are in this together, we must stand by each other and commit to taking care of our world. I pray that this experience makes us all smarter and curious to learn how to be better, live better and act better . #yoga #music #loveourplanet #standbyme #wewillbeatthis #connection #practice #practiceandalliscoming #meditation #pranayama #faith #believe #guitar #learning #trying #strength

So in love with our Merchandise :-)

I’m hanging from an aerial silk, in my very own yoga studio @banffyogapractice, say what? A year ago I never would have believed it, I never would have thought I could actually make this happen. But we did it @healer_from_the_heart What a ride this has been. I have never worked this hard in my entire life. And I am happier and more grateful than ever.... Thank you for teaching me to always work incredibly hard Dad. Thank you for teaching me to have patience Mum and to believe in myself. And thank you to my sister for being so brave and strong, inspiring me to try to be that way too. #banffyoga #aerialyoga #banffnationalpark #silks #practice #practiceandalliscoming #justpractice #thepractice #yoga #meditation #breathe #love #workhard #discipline #keepgoing #nevergiveup #newyogastudio #explorebanff #upsidedown #murals

I believe a meditation practice is the beginning of the path to self exploration, true self care and universal awareness. ~ We are one of millions of living souls on this planet called earth. Within that living soul is a yearning to know more. To connect on a deeper level. To love unconditionally and to believe that anything is possible...anything. ~ My meditation practice keeps me from getting ahead of myself. Reminds me to breath, always. And it doesn’t ask anything of me b...ut to show up and try. Every day it gets a little more familiar as I practice, practice, practice. ~ Join @healer_from_the_heart and myself in this exact spot in Aegina, Greece - September 23-30 for a #meditation, #yoga, #massage, #reiki Wellness Retreat.

Lately I feel like I’ve been hiding from the world (on purpose). I’m about to open a second business @banffyogapractice with the incredible @healer_from_the_heart Hayley is the only person I need to see right now on the daily. We literally talk 10 times a day and that may be an understatement. Thank God we get along so well This doesn’t mean (for either of us) that anyone means any less to us, it just means that we have learnt how to prioritize our time and efforts, and wh...at is most important at this time in our lives. Plus without the patience, love and support from our family and friends, this project wouldn’t be possible. In order to provide our community with an extraordinary studio, with an abundance of offerings and a magical feel to it, we must keep our heads down and work out butts off; literally, I feel like I’ve lost a few pounds since this project began I love yoga. I love meditation. I love pranayama. Through these practices, I Iove discovering what I love and going after it without hesitation. I want to help people smile that have forgotten how, and that is just one of the many reasons why I’m opening this beautiful studio @banffyogapractice please follow us if you aren’t yet not long now!!!! Schedule will be released by Friday, are you ready?

I taught my last class at the #fairmontbanffsprings today and I got that taste of bitter sweet...what a beautiful place, beautiful students, beautiful team, beautiful view . The sweet part is that I now get to throw myself into @banffyogapractice even more with my dream team, and my community. I am so thankful for this opportunity for the last 3 years. My growth. My passion. My dedication. My discipline, they all found there way through this place being a part of my teaching... journey. Thank you Fairmont #fairmonthotels #yogateacher #yoga #thankyou #grateful #beautyday #nofilter #practice #practiceandalliscoming #lettinggo

Hello friends! We're so thrilled about all of the excitement surrounding the launch thus far and thought we would give a quick update.

Lately I have been a bad friend. With the lead up to opening our yoga studio @banffyogapractice I seem to be unable to stick to plans with the people that I love. My massage business is demanding, but don’t get me wrong, I love it. Some days I wonder what the hell I am doing opening a second business...? And then the giant smile across my face when I think about it, the crazy warm feeling in my heart and the nausea that randomly appears, reminds me I’m bang on track. ~ If you... are a teacher wanting to teach for us (thank you) I promise to get back to you soon. If you are a friend feeling neglected, I promise to try harder but please keep calling me out. Mum, Dad, Sarah, I will call you this weekend I promise ~ Finding balance is hard, but there is no excuse when it comes to keeping your word, especially with those that you love the most. The answer for me? Stop making plans when you know life is going to be crazy for a little while. Try impromptu meet ups in the moment when you know you are free for an hour. ~ Please follow your dreams, but please keep paying attention to who you are showing up as every single day, while those dreams come true. #dreams #keepyourword #payattention #yoga #loveyoga #practice #practiceandalliscoming #handstand #meditation #breathe #balance
