Rikki Ducharme Yoga & Lifestyle

I have had several people reach out about appointments for reiki & private yoga. Thank you so much for supporting me! With all of the regulations and safety precautions and being that I am home based, I will not be offering these services until it is safer to do so for my family. I am offering some community yoga in parks this summer. If you would like more information, message me. I will be sure to let you know when these take place. Wishing you a safe and healthy summer, Rikki

Thanks Aunty Doreen Cooper for sharing this.

Throw back to the wellness day at Eagleview High School. I was invited back this year, but Covid-19 stopped many meaningful gatherings from happening. Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

Our grandmothers hedges were lilacs. Their fragrance and delicate flowers Lured neighbours for tea and Garden walks. #neighbourhoodgratitude

Just stick with it.

Thank you to Holy Rosary High school for asking me to lead a yoga class. We mixed a little Rocket yoga with a little bit of gentle yoga and some sweet breath work. It was so nice to connect with you all! Keep moving and keep smiling!

Still trying to do my thing in a pandemic. This space is where yoga, strength and mindfulness collide. I’ve taken other yoga teacher’s classes here. I’ve taken my own here. I’ve connected with friends and new people here. I’ve been attacked by my kitty more times in downward dog than ever before, right here . This pandemic has been a crazy experience. I don’t know how to make sense of it. And probably now is not the time. Today I’m happy and content with this space and with this practice. One last thought: Don’t be afraid to reach out to people. Your presence or words might be exactly what they need.

Imagine being 7 years old again In the spring. Every cell within your body Only wanted to be set free After school to play ... In the little streams with no coat. To pick a crocus. Forts in the bush and your mom Calling you to come back in, When all you could hear was the Country side calling you back Outside. @sageandseven See more

Pamela Moskie thank you for this!

I know, I know. Like we need to follow another page, or person or business etc. But I did create another page on Instagram and it’s really just about ideas and thoughts that I have had for a while now. Lately, I have been working hard. I have had to put certain things aside so I could be the best student that I knew how to be. I’m proud of my accomplishments so far. But there is so much more to do. My end goals are pretty big. I’m not sure how it will all happen. All ...I know is I have some of the best and supportive family and friends a girl could imagine. @sageandseven is a page that is inspired by my mom. In many of the posts I can hear her voice clearly. For many of you who knew her, you understood how generous and inviting she was. Tea, treats, a cozy warm home and her subtle and gentle advice. I do not need to remind you of the current situation. It’s all over the news and our social media. People are doing the best they can right now. I’m doing the best I can right now, and some days it’s not that great! I could use a mom, frankly. Anyway, these are some photos I took for the page, my children inspire me to be a good mom, as my mom was. See more

This is my, well I did face. Going on live Facebook and Instagram is hard. And I could sit hear and judge all the ways I could have done better but I’m not. I’m just going to be happy with what I will be apart of in the future. I will be joining the @thewewmovement and Little Sparrow Productions inc. tour this next year to provide yoga and meditation practices. I will be joining a force of women who are so inspiring it makes it hard to wrap my head around it. I am humbled. For now, I will keep working on my studies, keep practicing, keep working and keep staying home. Thanks for all the love and support.

One day mom was having a particularly bad day. Many things were wrong. She felt awful. There were personal things affecting her. Medical things. Painful things. Just a big pile of, things. Today I could feel things affecting me. And, then I remembered what she said. ... I have to find a way to rise above it. I just have to. A dying women decided that on that particular day she was going to find small ways to rise above whatever it was that was wrong. Her mental strength was for real. How could you find small ways to rise above what is wrong? What would it look like? What would you do?

This little 8 minute workout had us sweating and laughing. And that’s what counts.
