One thing I know for sure is: we will come out of this stronger, together. . Due to the latest provincial lockdown, please note that the Studio will be closed until further notice. We will however continue to show up for you and offer you virtual yoga classes as well as virtual meditation series so you can find comfort and ease while in the comfort of your own home. . Let this be a reminder to take care of yourself! Connect to anything that keeps you grounded and that keeps you smiling! . Stay safe & healthy See more

And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears. -Mark Anthony . Happy International Women’s Day

A Year ago today, I was about to teach my very first class in my very own studio. As vulnerable as can be. I remember feeling so many different emotions all at once, from excitement and joy to fear and (if I’m completely honest) I shed some tears. Although I didn’t know if all this would be successful, I knew deep in my heart that this was the right thing. I had a clear vision and it was finally coming to life. . To this day, we continue to strive to provide this communit...y with a well-deserved heart-warming space to connect, relax and grow freely, regardless of your individual journey. A space where like-minded souls give themselves permission to surrender and be. . Despite the multiple ups and downs, closures and re-openings, you were there, ready to show up again, and again! I am so thankful and grateful for all the amazing people I’ve crossed over the last year, and to all those who continue to fill up our space with so much love, authenticity, and positive energy. . Thank you for allowing me to share your sacred space- it is so special to witness so many precious moments as you transform and bloom into the wonderful human being that you are. . With love & Kindness, Janik . . : Lexine Ménard Photographie See more

Focus on the little miracles in your life. Appreciate all your progress. You’ve been through a lot, but you’ve also grown a lot through all the ups and downs. Give yourself credit and be grateful for your resilience. Be proud of how far you’ve come. #FreedomFriday

Here we go again As you know, 2020 has proven to be more challenging than ever before, especially for small businesses, but we have learnt to adapt to change in a short period of time, and it’s been quite the learning experience for many of us. . The Provincial Government has ordered another lockdown, which requires our Studio to close temporarily, yet again. Effective December 26th, 2020 until January 23, 2021. ... . Although I am announcing this with a heavy heart, we’ve got this, my friends! We’ve done it once, we can certainly do it again! . Please continue to support your local businesses- they need your support now more than ever! . Stay tuned! More details to come as to how we’ll be able to continue to serve you from the comfort of your own home! . Stay safe and healthy xo See more

Welcome Traci I have the pleasure to introduce you my dear friend Traci who’s joining our team! The sweetest, most thoughtful and kindest soul! Traci is a proud wife and mom of two young children, a certified yoga instructor and a Community Developer. You can find her playing with the kids outside, being active, crafting, baking or spending time with friends and family (pre-Covid of course). ... Traci has a strong passion for making a difference in this world. Since a young age, she’s been gifted with bringing people together and helping those same individuals work together to achieve amazing and impactful things. This passion took her to the University of Ottawa, where she completed her degree in Social Work and to her current role as a Community Developer. As her tattoo states, Be the Change, which helps remind her to always try to inspire others to be the change they want to see in their community, but most importantly in themselves. She’d love to say that her first yoga experience was love at first sight. However, it took her some stressful moments and a few years to fall deeply in love with this transformative practice. Fast-forward 13 years; and she can’t imagine her life without yoga. For her, yoga has become more than just an activity or pastime. It’s become a lifestyle and mindset that she strives to embody on a daily basis. Yoga provides her with an opportunity to grow, helps her achieve a healthier mental and physical balance and gives her that well-needed me time. Traci will be joining us as of December 14 and she looks forward to practicing with you, so you can unlock your own set of unique benefits!

We’re at week 2 of our re-opening, and I cannot personally thank you enough for your support. If I’m completely honest, I was afraid of the unknown, and I certainly couldn’t imagine what teaching during COVID would look and feel like. But all I can say is that we’ve made it!! My heart is full, I am forever grateful and I feel honored to be able to guide you through your practise. We are adapting and slowly easing into this new way of life. Although we have adopted new policies and procedures for the Studio, we would love to hear from you personally. Send us your feedback so we can learn about ways we can improve. Afterall, your health and safety is our priority!

We’re Back! It is with great excitement that I share with you our schedule as we prepare to re-open the Studio next week! . In light of COVID-19, we have made some changes as to how we operate, and therefore we encourage you to please review our Policies & Procedures prior to attending your first class. You may visit our website for more details. . Please note that class sizes have been reduced in order to accommodate the government’s 6 feet physical distancing guidelines an...d to provide more space between mats. Always preregister for class, as walk ins may not be accepted. . Book your next class via our website: www.innerblissyoga.ca or our mobile app at www.wellnessliving.com/signup/inner_bliss_yoga_wellness . . We cannot wait to see you T-minus 5 days! See more

Today is International Self-Care Day. An opportunity to press pause and to reflect on your well-being as well as your self-care practices. As we continue to adjust to the changes brought by COVID-19, self-care can easily slip to the bottom of the priority list. In moments of increasing stress, worry and anxiety, it is more important than ever to practice self-care. Start by noticing your thoughts. Be in tuned with your body. Observe. Listen. Be Aware. And when you notice your... self-care practices slipping away, bring them back and nurture your well-being. Here are four self-care activities you can do to increase your well-being: Schedule time for yourself: Whether you set aside time to reconnect with your hobbies, catch up with a friend, or go for a walk, this me time will help fill your cup. Take some time off: These are unprecedented times and a lot of you are unable to use your vacation for the purposes you had initially intended, however give yourself permission to take an extended break so you can relax and let go of that constant pressure of always doing. Prioritize healthy habits: Lack of structure and increased stress can make it easy to reach for unhealthy food options or skip a workout. However, eating well, getting enough sleep and physical activity will help you feel way better. Be kind to yourself: You are more than enough. Give yourself credit. Get off that pedestal and show yourself a bit of appreciation and compassion. You are worth it.

The time has come! We are very excited to announce that Inner Bliss Yoga & Wellness will officially be re-opening their doors the week of August 3rd, 2020. This isolation has definitely not been an easy journey, but we are very hopeful for the future. We have missed your presence here at the Studio and we are extremely grateful for your continued support during these unpreceded times. We truly value your commitment to your health, and we cannot wait to see you again! We hav...e been following and monitoring the growing spread and changing implications of the COVID-19 outbreak closely. Our priority is, and has always been the health, wellness and safety of our community. We are so happy to be back and to provide you with a soothing environment where you can rest and recharge. I believe that in moments of increasing stress, worry and anxiety, our services are even more important than ever. Please be re-assured that we are taking precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy and have implemented new policies and procedures for the Studio as a result. However, please know that this is a collective effort and therefore, we are asking that you do your part in keeping everyone around you safe and healthy as well. You may visit our website for additional information: www.innerblissyoga.ca

Phase 3 has been confirmed, my friends! Although this brings me so much happiness and excitement, it also brings me much reflections and questions on how all of this will look like for us! I have been reading up on the latest news, updates and changes, and am trying to understand what all of this means for us and for everyone walking through our doors. Although Phase 3 can re-open officially as of this Friday, we will take a bit of time to continue to work on the necessary health and safety guidelines in order to keep you and your family safe as well as ours. I will keep you posted with updates as we move forward. Thank you for your patience and support throughout all of this- it means the world to me and I am forever grateful. I am so very excited and cannot wait to reopen this space and share it with all of you once again!

Find stillness in your life by letting go of your inner critic

It’s ok to make mistakes, we all do. It’s what you do after the fact that matters the most.

One day you will look back and realize you were blooming all along

I’m a mother, partner, social worker & yoga teacher who does not have all the tools, and even if I did, I wouldn’t always put them to practice. Therefore I choose to continue to be a student of life. I seek opportunities to grow. I surround myself with people who have similar interests, who I connect with emotionally and intellectually, people who lift me up, who are genuinely concerned for my well-being and who equally give and take. Life will always have its ups and downs,... and your reaction to how you handle things will change with time as well. People around you will change and you will lose some and gain some. In the end, always make sure to choose YOU. Always choose respect, happiness, love, compassion and kindness. Make yourself a priority, give yourself permission and shine your beautiful light on everyone around you! Inner transformation is powerful my friends! See more

Happy Mother’s Day to all mamas of all kinds and to those celebrating their own mama, or wishing they could! May today be as beautiful as you are! Let go of expectations and simply allow yourself to live. Embrace all the cuddles. Experience all the love. Reconnect. Be tender. Be kind. Be patient. Hold compassion.

Journaling. Because every answer is somewhere inside of you! Start exactly where you are and you will soon realize that the mind is a powerful place. There is no right or wrong way to journal. Perfection doesn’t exist either. Let your inner voice, this powerful force from deep within, guide you. It will tell your story, dig deep within and reveal your unspoken thoughts and emotions. Ride the wave as you write your truth. Begin to heal and continue to grow

Currently on cloud 9. It was an absolute pleasure to lead a group of wonderful people from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board during a lunchtime workshop. All people wanting to learn tips and tricks for their overall well-being. So grateful for technology during these uncertain times, but man do I miss real life connections.

I am so excited to bring you this 30 Day Wellness Challenge that will focus on total mind and body wellness. I’ve partnered with other health and wellness entrepreneurs, including: Olga Lacroix, Mindset Coach at Olga's Way, as well as Mélanie Paxton, Certified Sports Nutrition Consultant, to bring you this virtual private group where you can destress and feel good from the inside out. More details in the video!

Today, I gave myself permission to disconnect from social media and to connect with nature. The sun was out, the air was cool and fresh, and the mind was at peace. It was a beautiful day. I invite you to try it once in a while

Be in touch and connected to nature, be firmly planted to the earth, and be in tune with your body. Ground yourself and become present. Become alive.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. - Camille Pissarro

Get outside and find comfort in the breezy countryside. Slow down. Notice. Observe. Seek beauty, even on the cloudy days.

Enjoy this energizing, yet relaxing sequence from the comfort of your own home!

Enjoy this short meditation to help ease the mind! Enjoy

Following my announcement about starting our very own Youtube Channel, I was overwhelmed with the amount of love, support and words of encouragement I’ve received from all of you. Thank you!

We absolutely look forward to welcoming... you again in the near future. . xox See more

In this moment of uncertainty, where we are practicing social distancing on the daily, may you find peace within by doing things you love most. . Maybe we needed this time to rest and recharge our soul. Maybe we needed this time to go back to our passions, or to appreciate being connected in real life, instead of on social media. Maybe we needed this time to reflect on our past or anticipate changes in our future. . My friends, we’ve been given time to focus on being alive ...and living fully, without the interruption of our daily hustle and bustle. Find stillness and ease. . Wishing you lots of peace and love xo See more

Things change quickly... Following new recommendations from Public Health, it is with a heavy heart that I must announce the temporary closing of our studio, in order to contribute to the collective efforts in limiting the spread of COVID-19. We didn't take this decision lightly, but it is in everyone's best interest at this time. As such, all classes already booked will be cancelled and returned to your account. The Mom/Dad & Baby session will be placed on hold, and extende...d based on the number of missed classes. You will also have the option of trying out our regular weekly in-studio classes instead if you prefer. Stay tuned for more updates! We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Thank you all so much for your understanding and support during this uncertain time. Stay healthy! With love and kindness, Janik

Happy Sunday, I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful sunshine! We have been following and monitoring the growing spread and changing implications of the COVID-19 outbreak closely.... Our priority is, and has always been the health, wellness and safety of all of our members. We will continue to provide you with a soothing environment where you can rest and recharge, until further notice. I think in moments of increasing stress, worry and anxiety, our services are even more important than ever. Please be re-assured that we are taking precautions to keep everyone healthy, and have come up with some preventative measures and new policies. Here is what we are implementing as a result: 1. We ask that you wash your hands thoroughly with soap immediately upon arrival. 2. We encourage you to bring your own personal equipment (mats, blocks, straps). Our in-studio equipment will remain available, but we ask that you bring face cloths, or towels to put over them while in use. We commit to washing and disinfecting every piece of equipment, as well as handles and light switches after every class. 3. Our 24-hour class cancellation policy has been lifted temporarily. We invite you to cancel or reschedule your class (free of charge) if you are feeling unwell or do not feel comfortable attending. This is a collective effort, and therefore in order to keep yourself (and others around you) safe, we ask that you do your part as well by following these simple steps. Please refrain from attending class if: 1. You show any of the following symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue). We will be monitoring members, and anyone who is demonstrating any flu-like symptoms will kindly be asked to return home to rest. 2. You have traveled outside of the country within the last 30 days. 3. Have been in contact with an individual who is demonstrating symptoms, or that has been outside of the country in the last 30 days. We look forward to welcoming you! With love & kindness, Janik
