It’s okay to take a break

Elyse Archer is going live for today’s online 10:30 Hatha class! Tune into our Instagram to practice with us

As times are unknown and unsettling and fear is prominent worldwide at the moment this class deals with targeting anxiety. Anxiety lives in the past and in the future, this class brings you into the now. It works with heart opening poses as anxiety is a form of fear and fear lives in our heart chakra when it's not fully open and clear. You will move out of the space of fear and into the space of love. There is a playlist for this class on Tori's Spotify: toriflower called anxiety yoga flow. If you enjoy the class and want to support the teacher you can send an etransfer or Paypal to Tori's email: [email protected].

Thank you Elyse

This has been an incredibly hard decision to make but I’m going to call it. As a precaution, and with the goal of reducing the transmission of COVID-19, protecting our greater community members who are at risk, we have decided to temporarily close the studio as of Sunday March 15th. As of today I will be pausing all active memberships and will resume them when the studio reopens. Please contact me directly if you have any concerns or questions. ... We realize the importance of practice and community. As such, we are working to offer classes led by our teachers through instagram-live, beginning Tuesday March 17th at 10:30am with Elyse Archer . Please join us, stay safe, and practice from home! Please keep practicing your yoga on and off your mat, it's what will get us through this. We will open the doors again as soon as we can and will post an update next weekend. With love @joyce.dawn

Hello, my name is Todd Canning. I have been teaching since 2002, various forms of hot yoga, ashtanga and vinyasa, yin. I owned a Moksha studio in the heart of Toronto for 11 years before moving to Vancouver island. ... Yoga is and always will be an important part of my life that supports everything else that I do. Without my yoga practice and experience I would never have successfully rehabilitated after two separate, rather serious injuries over the years. Yoga supports me in my work, in my family life, in all of my athletic endeavours...it has taught me how to stay calm and keeps my body and mind feeling young. I teach Sunday 9:30am Ashtanga & Tuesday 7pm Yin at Holy Cow Yoga Studio. I look forward to sharing my years of knowledge with you. . . . #ashtanga #Comoxvalley #yoga

Ashtanga, the eight limbs of yoga, is Patanjali's classification of classical yoga, as set out in his Yoga Sutras. He defined the eight limbs as yama (abstinences), niyama (observances), asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), pratyahara (withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (absorption). The eight limbs form a sequence from the outer to the inner. Postures, important in modern yoga, form one limb of Patanjali's scheme; he states only that they must be steady and comfortable. Ashtanga 9:30-10:45am Sunday morning.

Happy New Year and Welcome to this new decade. A decade where we discover more of our personal truths and step more fully into our innate power, our wholeness, into our abundance, our wealth, our success, into love and into the future we've been dreaming of! It's a past way of thinking or an old way of conditioning to think that something is wrong with ourself; that there is something that needs to be fixed. This is a misguided truth. We may have been conditioned to think tha...t we need external sources to fix something about ourselves, or told that we should be one way or another.... Even though it may feel like we are going against a personal truth and it is taking away our power. This is a misguided truth with the nature of reality! There is something right within you, deep down inside of you and it wants to be uncovered! These old ways of thinking "I can't...", "I'm not ready", "I don't have enough money", "I'm not good enough", "No one will ever love me", "I'll never succeed", "It doesn't work, I've tired"...etc, etc, etc. These are parts of the old state of self that are programmed in your body from childhood and through experiences that have happened through out your life. Just because those thoughts, those past ways of doing things, thinking things, feeling things, comes up, does NOT mean that they are true for you today! You have the ability to change those past habitual loops that are creating the same experiences in your life over and over again! You have the ability to create the future you have been dreaming of, wanting and desiring. Science now proves what ancient practices have been using for a very long time. You can rewire your brain body connection with the power of your mind and with intention! Join me Saturday January 25 at Holy Cow Yoga Studio from 12-4, as we use ancient techniques and modern science to Reclaim Your Power and begin to live the future you've been waiting for! "May you Remember Your Limitless Potential" and "May all beings feel/know love and peace" Namaste, Kelsey Dawn
