teach my feet to fly After a long week of alarms, early breakfasts, and rushing out the door before the ripe hour of 9 am all for the love of school- this was much needed. My favourite thing to do is come to my yoga space, turn on the tunes, and just move. There is never a set list of poses, or even a flow I follow, I just allow my body to tell me exactly what it needs and my mind follows.... Yesterday it was #PinchaMayurasana and hips. What are some things you do to relax/unwind??

I will never forget

Did you know that on top of being a certified Yoga instructor and a Reiki practitioner, I am also certified in Pre/Post Natal yoga. After having 3 NB deliveries myself, I wish I had my practice back then. The deliveries themselves all went relatively smooth (minus the hiccups with my last baby) but I firmly believe that if I had practiced throughout my entire pregnancy, the actual delivery wouldn’t have been such a shock to my body. With pre/post natal yoga, you will learn m...indful, safe and effective ways to maintain movements with ease throughout your pregnancy and afterwards aswell. It takes time for our bodies to heal and come back to their natural state and even then sometimes we are faced with our bodies just physically not being able to ( eg. Diastases Recti). With mindful movements and breathing techniques you can get feeling back to yourself in no time. Contact me today to book your one on one session, or if you’d like to have a few friends come together, I can do group sessions as well. As always, Love and Light Jennifer #prenatalyoga #postnatalyoga #SimcoeCounty #InnisfilYogaMommas #healthyself #MindoverMatter #SelfLoveClub #AlconaYoga

Sometimes you don’t realize you’re drowning when you’re too busy trying to be everyone else’s anchor... How true is this quote? Somedays were so busy holding down the fort, we forget about ourselves. I can’t tell you how many mom friends over the years have mentioned how even just having a shower was a daunting task! who’s going to watch the kids, the baby needs nursing, I’m too tired to even care, and then the feelings of guilt and shame come flooding in when we see others aren’t in the same position. It’s a vicious circle and it needs to stop. We need to take time for ourselves- however that may look in your Personal life. Maybe it’s a nice hot bath with a good book, maybe it’s a run in the fresh air with no stroller, maybe it’s going to that yoga class you’ve always wanted to try, or just maybe it’s going out with some friends for some unadultered fun and not feeling bad about it. When we take time for ourselves, we glow better, it’s a proven fact. So If you feel a calling for your body to move, perhaps in need of some energy clearing, or even just a friend to have a coffee to chat with.... I’m here for you- holding your life jacket Love and Light Always, Jenn #Origin8Yourlife #OnePoseOneBreathOneDayatatime #AlconaYoga #SimcoeCounty #raiseyourvibrations #Selfloveclub #hereforyou #lightworker #Reiki #Yoga #MobileYogaSpecialist

How many of you have been having an off day, only to hear a song you love come through the speakers? Music has always been something I was drawn too, not just for the obvious reasons to show off my non-dancing skills, but also it gave me something to connect too. The lyrics, the chorus, the melody....so many songs and song writers have composed music that went straight to my heart. I felt it; what they were feeling, what they were speaking about, what they went or were goin...g through. Music is so much more than a few notes scribbled on a piece of paper... I invite you this morning to throw on some feel good music. Maybe as your brewing your morning coffee, brushing your teeth, doing some yoga or even just getting out of bed. Try this and see where the day takes you #Origin8YourLife #OneposeOnebreathOnedayatatime

One moment Can change a day One day Can change a life And One life... Can change the world~Budda I took my boys yesterday to the park for the very first time since last year. I was a bit nervous, but confident that they knew the ins and outs for all the covid rules by now. They played and rode their scooters and I decided it was the perfect opportunity for me to flow and go through my thoughts. They went a little something like this; It’s okay if you don’t have it all together It’s okay if your scared about schools opening, and your not a million percent sure this decision is the right one. It’s okay if the house isn’t magazine cover worthy and the kids ate tortillas and PB&J for breakfast. It’s ok to not be ok all the damn time. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be this or do that, it’s nice to have things flipped upside down and actually making it a better situation than originally planned. We as a society focus all to quickly on the negative of things, not realizing that on the other side to that is positive. To say I’m not scared about what’s to come for my children and schools opening would be an understatement, but we’re going in with open mind, BIG BIG hearts, and the knowing that not everything is going to be ok all the time, and that’s ok too. So to all my Mamas, Poppas, Granparents, Caregivers and whomever else had to make that tough choice for their babies, I see you, I feel for you, I’m right here with you. One day at a time......... #Origin8YourLife #OneposeOnebreathOnedayatatime #InnisfilYoga #MobileYogaInstructor #SimcoeCountyYoga #AlconaYogi #Namaste #Momlife #positivity #Onedayatatime #inhaleexhale #showingup #Flowtogrow

‘SUP FRIENDS As I like to say to my husband I did a thing, and this time I surely did. I have always wanted to try paddle boarding, and when the option of yoga on a board came into play, it was something I just knew I had to do, So I set out to find a board- and of course to no avail, anywhere on this planet.... I searched for weeks and weeks and finally had decided that it just wasn’t going to happen this year. To my surprise just two days before our cottage vacation I came across one. Now it didn’t come by easily, nor without its own set of problems... 3 stores, over 150 kms, 3 hours of driving, too many straps to count.. and I finally got my board....my newest baby to love! I haven’t mastered yoga on a board yet, and falling is something I’m getting used too, but boy oh boy is it ever fun . #teacherbutforeverastudent If you’ve got a board, and want to come out on the lake for some fun, splashes, laughs and hopefully some poses- let me know and we can set up a date and time . #Origin8YourLife #OneposeOnebreathOnedayatatime #firsttimeforeverything #passionoverfear #raiseyourvibration #Soulonfire #selfloveclub #standuppaddleboard #SUPYOGA #SimcoeCounty #LakeSimcoe #AlconaBeach

Feeling, Flowing, Freeing myself Healing How do you heal? ... Do you have a regime you follow, do you seek outside for assistance or do you internalize your feelings and process at your own pace? There is no right or wrong way to heal in my eyes, as long as the healing process begins in the first place. Healing has no amount of time, it doesn’t come in the form of a present, and sometimes it can be so ugly it scares even the strongest of bodies and minds. For myself, I found that a lot of my healing and sorting through emotions came in the form of movement. Wether it be yoga, lifting weights, running, biking, skating or even swimming ~ movement has always been an integral part of my life. Yoga has become sacred to me, not only for the physical aspects of it, but also to keep me grounded, to give me the ability to hold space and release when I need to, and to align with like minded individuals who share the same common goal #flowtogrow So today I invite you to think about adding yoga into your life if you haven’t already~ and if you do, Please know I am always here for you- to answer questions, guide you through flows, help you nail that inversion you’ve been wanting to get, or to just listen and hold space for you #inthistogether #Origin8YourLife #OneBreathOnePoseOneDayatatime #SimcoeCounty #AlconaBeach #EbbandFlow #healing #SOULfood #Vibratehigher #YogaLove #COVIDtimes

Just for today, I will not worry I will not fear I will give thanks for my many blessings I will do my work honestly... I will be kind to myself and all living things #Origin8YourLife #OnebreathOnePoseOnedayatatime #lightworker #healthyself #selflove #Reiki #SimcoeCounty #feelittohealit #Mantra

Why hello there Did you know that a new moon represents a window of time when we can plant seeds of intentions that we want to manifest during that specific moon cycle. Also when manifesting in a new moon comes an opportunity to focus on a specific part of our lives. Wether that be in a person, an occupation, or a situation, it’s as if the universe has given you a gift and if handled properly can turn out to be most helpful when writing the narrative to your own life. ... I invite you this new moon to set intentions around your home life, residence & roommates, emotional wellbeing, feelings about motherhood and your privacy. Setting intentions will help you ease through the month with clarity and help to set much needed boundaries. This New Moon is in fact a water moon and arrives to us in the sign of Cancer. It might have you a little caught up in your feelings but I urge you not to push them away. Rather, acknowledge them, sit with them for a minute and then let them go. Lean in to the side of you that wants to see growth, and I promise you- you won’t be sorry. Love and Light Jenn #NewMoon #smallchangesmakeBIGimpacts #Origin8YourLife #OneBreathOnePoseOneDayatatime
