Kim's Home Yoga

Sorry everyone! Have to cancel classes this morning... I've woken up with very little voice. Sniffles I can work with, voiceless is a whole other game... Unless we want to try mime yoga I can speak audibly again for Monday's classes. Be well xoxo

The virtual studio doors have reopened! Welcome back to practice... We begin again with a Yin Yang practice this morning at 9am ET. Link in bio Kim's Home Yoga has been offering virtual classes, events & workshops since April 2020. The foundation of the studio has been operational since November 2015.... Whether new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, there's something for everyone. From now until January 15th I'm offering 1 free class to "new to the studio" participants. Want to give virtual Yoga a try? Send me a private message and we'll get you set up. #kimshomeyoga #homepracticewithkim #staygrounded #stayconnected #virtualyoga #virtualstudio #yogalove #trysomethingnew #sharethelove #yogaforeveryone

Virtual studio will be offline from December 23, 2021 - January 4, 2022 I'll also be taking a break from social media during this time. Check out my YouTube channel (link in bio) for some practices to keep you moving during the break.... Much love for the continued support. See you in the New Year! #kimshomeyoga #staygrounded #stayconnected #virtualyoga #virtualstudio #slowrollsaturday #medandrestore #mindfulflow #eveninggraces #yinyang #yogaforeveryone

Happy Solstice Blessings to all! "And when you walk into the shadows, I'll meet you there. We can breathe in the dark of night... And silver of moon. And when you are ready, Courageously follow the return of light." ~Kim Bolton I hope you pause today to notice the light. I also hope you have moments to pause and rest too.

Winter Solstice Blessings to all! And when you walk into the shadows I'll meet you there. We can breathe in the dark of night... And silver of moon. And when you are ready Courageously follow the return of light. ~ Kim Bolton I hope you take time to step outside and notice the light today (and every day). May you find some quiet to pause and reflect too. #kimshomeyoga #wintersolstice #wintersolstice2021 #wintersolsticevibes #getoutside #returnoflight #restandreset #longwintersnight #waxpoetic

Wishing everyone a very happy new year! My heart is full and I am eternally grateful for all the kindness and support for these brain child's of mine. We weathered the craziness of 2020. Let's look into 2021 with hope. Create peace within and out.... Much love, Kim xoxo #kimshomeyoga #soulcraftedmalas #yogalove #meditation #mindfuless #malainspriations #creatingwithpurpose #intentions #breathe #breathedeep #practice #peace #grateful #heartfull

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays! The virtual studio is closed until January 4th. Everything is weird and strange this year... 100%... My hope is that we all find precious moments to pause and appreciate all that we have and make the best of what we've got. I wish to express my deepest gratitude for all that have supported me & the studio during the pivot and changes that Covid brought upon us. I could've tossed everything into the fire & watched it burn. Instead, little by little, with your patience & support, the virtual studio & community was built... And I am humbled. Here's to all of us and continuing to evolve. I look forward to many more shared experiences in 2021.

One of my favourite action words PAUSE

A day outdoors is good for the soul . . Started out with a lovely 5km walk at Chapman Mills conservation area. So interesting to revisit this place after a 2 month break. The river is low in prep for winter (controlled waterway), and the colours of late Autumn were captivating .... . Home to lay the veg gardens to rest. Pulled out all the tomato plants, remnants of others plants, harvested bunches of sage, parsley & oregano, and turned one garden box into a garlic patch. Here's hoping it proves bountiful next season . . A little bitter sweet to have to lay gardens to rest. However, the heart swells with all that we enjoyed this year for our first foray into growing our own food. . . Romaine. Arugula. Spinach. French radishes. Peppers. Many tomato varieties. Carrots. Celery. Kohlrabi. Many herbs. It's been a wild experiment. I've learned lots and look forward planning for next growing season . . Today, life feels good in the bitter / sweetness . . #kimshomeyoga #getoutside #grateful #gardenexperiments #harvesttime #bittersweet #breathe #appreciate #harvestbounty #autumnthings #rest #freshair #outdoors #freshairtherapy See more

New blog post is up ... a long time in the making this one. :P https://www.kimshomeyoga.com/blog/pause

~ THANKSGIVING ~ . . I have 2 classes running on Thanksgiving Monday 9am EST Mindful Flow... 7pm EST Meditation & Restorative I would love for you to join me . . ~ GRATEFUL ~ I sent a newsletter last night about expressions of gratitude and just how much I appreciate the community that has supported Kim's Home Yoga through these pendulum swings of pandemic. . . We're in another swing here in Ottawa as it was announced studios must close their doors again for 28 days. . . We've done this before, and this time we have more tools & resources to keep going rather than stumbling around, hands on our heads wondering WTF do we do now. We may be tired, but we've got this . . ~ SUPPORT ~ Please continue to support local. The brick & mortar studios need your love... The smaller establishments such as myself need your love too. . . Grateful for all those that zoom in weekly, that have attended various online offerings... Especially as I stumbled through with audio / video foibles along the way. #wabisabi perfectly imperfect . . If you love something, someone, share news about it with your friends & family. Us small businesses sure do appreciate it . . Forever grateful Kim xoxo . . #kimshomeyoga #soulcraftedmalas #yogalove #supportlocal #shoplocal #pandemicpendulums #wegotthis #Richmond #Ottawa #RichmondYoga #RichmondMeditation #RichmondMalas #grateful #grateful #gratitude See more
