We have missed you! As of June 8th, 2020, we have reopened in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Department of Public Health and Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Officer of Health. This means that we will be conducting all initial assessments for new clients through telehealth video conferences and restricting in-person appointments to those with priority conditions where telehealth will not have equal outcomes and manual work is necessary. Get in touch if you are wanting to book in. We will be smiling and happy to see you (under our masks!)

We remain closed in accordance with public health guidelines. We will continue to follow our government's lead and re-open when it is safe to do so - for all of us. Thank you all for your understanding. Erika & Sonya

We get so many questions from our clients about how to incorporate what they have learned from pelvic health physio into their yoga classes. They are often alarmed that some of what they have been doing has perhaps compromised their pelvic health. This article is a great start in understanding all of the pelvic health benefits that can come from yoga, while also minimizing the harm: https://www.yogauonline.com//beyond-kegels-how-incorporate
