Zen House Yoga Studio
6150 Valley Way Suite 101 L2E 1Y3 Niagara Falls, ON, Canada

We hope you found some creative ways to celebrate Christmas with those you love most. This year will certainly be memorable, so let’s make the memories as good as we possibly can.

You are returning to the light. Even though after yesterday’s announcement, of Ontario’s 28 day closure, it may not feel like it. We yogis practice sitting with our feelings. So it’s ok to be honest that this is frustrating on so many personal, communal and professional levels. Sometimes out of upset comes the greatest change, and that’s what we remain hopeful for here. Regardless of how our inner world’s may seem dark right now, each day will have a little more light in it. ...We are returning to light! Let this remain a season of hope! What are you hoping for? Keep bringing your hopes to the light. #zenhouseyogastudio #wintersolstice2020 #returntolight #seasonofhope #niagarafalls #yoganiagara

Throwback Thursday @wendyleardschoolofdance @handtoheartapparel ... Can’t believe this was 2 years ago! Wow times flies when you’re having fun ! #throwbackthursday #christmasyoga #yogaeverydamnday #lifeofayogateacher #timeflieswhenyourehavingfun

Claustrophobic, squished, restricted, constricted... some of the words some people use to describe Child’s Pose. Not everyone feels relaxed, rested and soothed in this yoga shape. Use yoga as a time practice getting your needs met! You are unique! So your yoga should be too.... Here is where yoga props come in handy. This bolster brings the ground up for you to rest your head and chest. If you have tight hip flexors, quads or knees, it cushions where your body wants to soften into this posture. If you’re unsure always talk to your teacher about how you can make your yoga more accessible. We practice to create ease, not suffering. Bolster $88 Block + Strap $25 *all 3 = $100* Message us & we’ll hold it for you. . #zenhouseyogastudio #yogabolsters #niagarafallsyoga #shoplocalniagara #supportlocalniagara #childspose #childsposevariation #balasana #swamig #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogis #yogateachertraining #yogapropsfun #yogabolster

How do the men in your life destress? How much time do they devote to stretching their overworked, tense muscles? We’re guessing they’re not chatting about it over tea, having a good cry or soaking in a bubble bath. Although we wish all of us, including the guys in our life took time for that! Aging well and feeling good means taking time to down regulate the nervous system. Every body needs to get into a parasympathetic state in order to heal, to recover, digest, regenerate.... Our Monday night class attendance is more than half guys who come to their mats to Stretch & Destress. It fills up so quick that we offer it again on Thursdays at 8:00 pm. If buying for the guys in your life is tricky this Christmas, consider a yoga gift certificate. Or purchase a bolster, block and strap with the promise that you’ll do videos together at home. Message us - we have a great special on yoga props! The magic does happen in a group class when you have scheduled accountable time and a teacher carefully guiding breath work and observing proper form.

Have you tried a candle meditation? Light a candle and set an intention. Now simply gaze at the candle and allow the image of the flame to occupy your mind. At first, your mind will probably wander about and your eyes will resist your efforts to keep them still. This is typical and it will gradually ease as your meditation practice progresses. ... If thoughts and distractions arise, return your attention to the candle flame and let them go. A great way to deepen a candle meditation is to imagine that you are breathing the light of the candle, or your intention, in and out of yourself. Casually sense it flowing into you as you breathe. Feel a sense of purity and clarity infusing with your body and mind as you absorb yourself in this meditation. #zenhouseyogastudio #candlemeditation #meditationniagara #mindfulniagara #yoganiagara #yoganiagaraonthelake #zen #niagarafallsyoga #meditationforchildren #beginnersmeditation #beherenow #growthmindsetteacher #yogaforstressmanagement #gentleyogaandmeditation

Have you met this lovely lady yet? @yogabyashleymichelle has Monday evening gentle yoga, Thursday Morning Flow and a few special Friday nights Candle Light Yin. Treat yourself! A reminder for these interesting times: the latest government mandate states that you must register for class before entering the studio. It’s as simple as reaching out to the teacher via our website, or the tag on social media. and the fashion accessory of 2020, the mask, must be worn until you are ...on your mat. This year is teaching us all to be flexible, and Zen House is in full support of that. #zenhouseyogastudio #poweryogaclass #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #yinyoga #chairyogafitness #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #yogaforhips #seniorsyoga #beginnersyogaclass #fitnessniagara #niagarawellness #beginnerworkouts #corporateyoga #universityyoga #brockuniversity #niagaracollege #niagarafalls #stcatharines #niagaraonthelake #welland #niagaraonthelakeyoga #notlyoga #restyourmindcalmyourheart #restyourbody #yoganiagaraonthelake #meditationniagarafalls #niagarayogateacher #niagarayoga

Mondays are awesome around here! Actually everyday can be awesome when you’re feeling good. It’s hard to start your day with enthusiasm or see the light in situations when you feel sore, tense, achey, stressed. We know! Many of us here have tried it all before we found yoga! Now we hold space for you to take your power back. We’re waiting for you at Zen House. Your body is waiting for you to come to your mat and give it some loving kindness.... Our schedule is on our website (link in bio). You can reach out to the teacher of the class you want right there too. Or drop us a message here with any questions. There’s no need to wait any longer. You’ll feel relief after your first class.

Who needs yoga? You! and the men in your life. Their tense muscles need relief from their strenuous jobs, desk jobs, playing sports, driving all day... all the same reasons we need it, including deepening the breath and calming the mind. Men seem to love our Monday night Stretch & Destress. It’s simple and gentle. But so are most of our other classes. They’re welcome to any class and will realize immediately that yoga is for them too! PS- today is the last day to order this c...omfy sweatshirt with guaranteed arrival for Christmas.

Be honest, when is the last time you put your feet up? You deserve this! Your body deserves this! When you elevate your pelvis on a bolster and lift the legs up or rest them on a wall, you are helping lymph and blood flow move towards your heart and other important organs. This helps with tired swollen legs, varicose veins, sore knees. It down regulates the body into a parasympathetic state where all healing takes place. It reminds us that doing less, is often doing so much m...ore benefit to and for the body. Want a bolster to practice this? We have a few left for $88. #Zenhouseyogastudio #yoganiagarafalls #shoplocalniagara #supportsmallbusiness #niagarafallsyoga #viparita #viparitakarani #niagarafalls #yoganiagara #shopniagara #shopniagaraonthelake #shoplocalniagara #yogabolsters #bmatyoga #swamig #niagarayogateacher #downregulation #parasympatheticactivation #niagarafitness #healthyniagara #notlyoga #restanddigestmode

The yellow zone! Here is what it means: 1- it’s more important than ever for you to prioritize your own health and we’ll-being. That is so much more multi-faceted than focussing on prevention. You have more power than you realize! 2- Ontario guidelines mandate that you must pre-register for your class. It’s easy! Reach out to your yoga teacher. Our website links directly to them.... 3- Space is at a premium. Classes capped at 10 and 3 metres apart. Prioritize your well-being and save your spot now. We want you feeling flexible, strong and in your optimum regulated state so your immunity is stronger. 4- this is hard for all of us. We’re nervous for our small business...for our students who feel better after class...for our community who need support & togetherness. We are holding space for you, in our hearts, and at Zen House. PS- Message us if you want your own new props: a strap & a block = $25 a bolster = $88 strap & block & bolster = $100. #zenhouseyogastudio #chairyogaflow #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #chairyogaforseniors #chairyogafitness #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #yogaforhips #seniorsyoga #beginnersyogaclass #fitnessniagara #niagarawellness #beginnerworkouts #corporateyoga #supportlocal #niagarasmallbusiness #womensupporting #niagarastrong #niagarafalls #stcatharines #niagaraonthelake #welland #niagaraonthelakeyoga #notlyoga #growthmindsetteacher #restyourmindcalmyourheart #restyourbody

The world seems a little off kilter doesn’t it? This is why we practice balance. It’s not some pinnacle that once you reach you stay for good. It is a practice. Perhaps there is no balance, only balancing. How are you feeling?

TRIKONASANA or TRIANGLE. This asana or posture/pose/shape does so much for the body - stretches and strengthens several of the side body muscles that get ignored in day to day living. But more importantly it teaches: PATIENCE & ENDURANCE - as soon as you want to get out of this shape, breathe in your life force and breathe out to settle more into the shape.... LOVING ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR BODY - you don’t need to reach for the floor. Rest your hand on your shin or a block. You don’t need to reach for the sky, rest your top hand on your low back. BALANCE & STABILITY - We’re using a lot of stabilizing muscles here. To ensure you’re keeping that back hip pulling back (it will instinctively roll forward), practice with your heel against the wall. Or let your whole back be supported by the wall to really feel what Triangle can do for your thighs, knees, hips, obliques. If looking up feels unsteady, look straight ahead or at the floor. Any questions about Trikonasana? Thank You to our model @michelleknowsniagara If you’re not inclined to smile like Michelle in any asana, review the above notes. #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yogaforhippain #yogaforback #yoganiagara #trikonasana #trianglepose #beginnersyogaposes #yogatipsforbeginners #yogatipsandtricks #yogaforanybody #useyourbreath #begentlewithyou

Quick! What’s the strangest thing you notice about this old photo? If you said how close everyone is together, it really shows how quick we can change our mindsets, habits and lifestyle. If you said there is a goat in the yoga studio well that would have been the strangest thing a year ago. But strange in such a fun kind of way!... What a strange time we’re living in! And what a blessing to be so adaptable. Let’s keep adapting to our greatest and highest good. We’re in this together.

What if there is nothing to actually fix in your body and mind? Nothing to struggle to make better? What if you gave your body and mind the time, the attention and the space to show you how great you already are? Zen House is holding space for you to discover, to remember, what it feels like to feel good just as you are. #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

The hardest part of yoga is getting to Zen House. Once you roll out your mat the yoga is the easy and feel-good part. If youve been avoiding it, just try it so you can actually know if you like it or not. Then you can be done with the mental clutter of procrastination and not knowing. Easy peasy. #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

Guess whos back? Diane! She retired from a 30 year career at Project Share earlier this year with the intention of spending lots more time teaching yoga & meditation at Zen House. But 2020 changed most of our plans, didnt it? Not anymore. Were getting back to feeling great and helping as many as we can safely fit in our studio at a time. Join Diane for Hatha Yoga Mondays 5:15pm & Wednesdays 6:30 pm. Dianes goal is to leave students feeling much better than when they arrived. Diane Corkum

This might look like just a yoga asana but it is a photo of bravery and healing. This is me posting a photo in a yoga shape that I use to dread. Moving my body in this position used to make me feel too heavy, unbalanced, weak and worst of all exposed. I used to come to yoga in really baggy clothes hoping to hide the extra abundance my body carries. All that did was make yoga more difficult and more frustrating because the shirt would cover my face in down dog or roll up my ba...ck exposing me even more, the opposite of what I wanted to happen. And by all means keep doing you if that works best for you. I slowly realized that I didnt notice what another person in the room was wearing or doing. Yoga is about me, the only person on my mat. Plus I had the blessing of having a couple teachers with body shapes similar to mine. This gave me the permission and hope to know that my body had the potential to move fluidly and to feel great and to dress in whatever way made my practice more beneficial. Yes I was the un-self-assured type who needed that unspoken permission; which made knowing that every practice was really just-me-on-my-mat even more scary. But thats where the healing comes. There is no external validation in yoga. No definitive right and wrong. You are guided by a teacher but ultimately you are in charge of youand that is determined by how you feel. This is a photo of me, having not lost a pound, feeling light where I used to feel heavy. This is a photo of me, someone who has suffered multiple concussions, feeling balanced where I used to feel unbalanced and even untrusting in my body. This is a photo of me feeling strong and free where I used to feel weak. This is a photo of me exposed - opening my hips, tummy and heart centre - and knowing that I have every right to because my body and the space around me is mine and exclusively up to me. This is me celebrating the bravery and healing that comes with yoga. I would love for you to join me on this journey. Look for Melanie {or any of our awesome teachers} on the teacher page of our website. Link in bio.

We are looking for yogis (beginners to experienced) who want to be mindful of only paying for what they use, not allowing a fee to come out of their account every month without realizing they are not getting value for that.

Coming home to yourself. . We all have a space within us that can allow us to feel safe, stable, and contained. A place where we can tune into our intuition and wisdom. . But so often we avoid that space and any discomfort that comes up along the way.... . We distract ourselves from our emotions (scrolling anyone!?). . We do so much for everyone else instead of considering what really fulfills our needs. . We ignore our own bodys signals that say something isnt quite right. . We trust opinions, information, and guidance that comes from outside, rather than our hearts. . Lets change that - together. . On Sunday September 13th, join me from 1-4 pm @zenhouseyoga . For movement, journaling and meditation. . What stops us from embracing all that we are and all that is within us!? . Lets dive in and take this journey home to ourselves. You are the only compass you need. . Registration via the link in bio @ashley_overholt_yoga See more

This might look like a worn yoga mat, but any yogi recognizes this as a relationship. As a teacher, all the colourful creative mats that come to class delight us too. But seeing this, is a deep knowing that you and your mat have worked through some stuff. Namaste What is one word your mat would use to describe you?

Dont say youre not flexible! Your body believes every thought. Instead say, I go to yoga to practice flexibility. Or I bend so I dont break. We would love to have you join us to access the flexibility in your body, mind and breath. Its so much easier than you think! @groundingbalance... #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #yogaforflexibilty #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

Thankfully I have a practice of taking time each week to truly notice what I need from the week. Instead of habitually, mindlessly giving what the week takes from me. Zen House holds space for you to check in with you. What could be more important? Dont let another week slip by you. #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

Zen House is proud to call Niagara Falls home. But we are also blessed to be 10-15 min from St Catharines, Niagara on the Lake or Welland. Being right off the highway often makes us quicker to get to than driving across the city. We are at 6150 Valley Way, nestled between the 420 hwy, Valley Way and Drummond Rd. Minutes away from exciting tourist attractions, great shopping, top notch restaurants, darling cafes and the wondrous Falls. Bring a friend to yoga and make it a day to celebrate!

Ever wonder why it feels even better to practice yoga in a class than it does alone? Co-regulation! Were all working on self-regulation. We use self-regulation to manage our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to maintain our goals. Its the difference between yelling when youre angry versus talking things out, between binging versus practicing self-care. Lack of self-regulation leads to depression, anxiety, obesity, even criminal behavior. It can be a struggle for many of u...s to maintain, especially in trying times. When we practice together, gathering with common good intentions, creating calm in a shared space, we harmonize those sensations together. We co-regulate, which in turn fortifies us to self-regulate. So thank you to everyone who comes to help themselves! Youre helping all of us! #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #growthmindsetteacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #selfregulationtools #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #coregulation #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

Do you have a goal pose? The beautiful thing about Yoga is that its a process. Every asana (pose/shape/movement) can be a preparation for the next. Even our pranayama (breath) has an effect. If youve practiced, then youve probably noticed how quickly the body changes after even the first few moments. Nothing is rushed, yet the results are quick.... If you have a goal pose, dont be shy. Tell your teacher. Theyll work in the prep-poses to develop the strength and flexibility to get you there. It can even be our little secret yet the whole class will benefit. our beautiful Stacey of @groundingbalance #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

What is your way of life? Are you aware of how much of that has been shaken up lately? A lot of it in a good way, but a lot of it based on fear. If you want health and calm to be your way of life, consider yoga. But actually make it part of your lifestyle so it doesnt drain mental energy. Your shoulds and should nots cant consume your mind everyday or you will fail. Get out of your mind and get into action. What class will you attend this week? #zenhouseyogastudio #niaga...rafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls See more

Thanks to @momsniagara we have one more Goat Yoga session - this one the kids are invited too! TUESDAY AUGUST 25th 6:00pm. Join Melanie from ZEN HOUSE YOGA as she leads a 60 minute beginner-friendly outdoor socially-distanced yoga class for all-ages. There will be extra time at the end to play + interact with the goats. You are welcome to shop in the small farm store for eggs, handmade soaps, homemade jellies, etc. You will love all Field and Forest Acres has to offer! $30 f...or one adult, $50 for a pair. Children 10 and under are $10. REGISTER via EMT to [email protected] Big thanks to our SPONSOR: MATERNAL HEALTH NIAGARA who will be providing a lip balm for every attendee! Bring your mat and maybe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water bottle, warm clothes and face mask - whatever makes you more comfortable outdoors in the SUN. Reminder: we will be with the Goats on a Farm so dont wear your best clothes or shoes. If bringing your little one with you, ensure you have a blanket + mat for their own use. There is a portable washroom and handwashing station available. Please park to the left of the driveway on an angle along the trees.

If you have dreamed about owning your studio for yoga, meditation, qigong, pilates, photo sessions, massage, reiki, zumba or any of the limitless possibilities on your heart, lets make dreams come true! Zen House is here for you to use as your own. We are an intimate good-energy space. We dont have a staff or sell memberships. We are looking for teachers who want to rent space to call their own without the headaches and extra expenses of having another studio in Niagara. Co...mmunity over competition! Zen House is a beautiful, 1500 square foot studio inside inside a building focussing on wellness, conveniently located right off the highway (so within 20 min to almost anywhere in Niagara) with plenty of free parking. Lets plan now to get started in September, when people need routine and a healthy community more than ever.

When you change it all up and let it all go, are you still ok? Yoga teaches us that its a resounding Yes! If youre stuck in your head, in your worries, in your to-do list or self-concepts of who you have to be, forget the flexibility and body benefits of yoga. Come try it just to get out of your head for a bit and learn the healing power of your breath...of creating space! #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

These are tough times for small businesses run with more heart-sense than financial-sense. These are tough times for everyone who leads with the heart. But tough times dont last. Tough people do! We stand strong with everyone in our community, wherever you are in this confusing and uncertain journey. Community over competitors. Collaboration over competition. Care, compassion and common-sense over the other C buzz word of 19 that has consumed 2020. #zenhouseyogastudio #niaga...rafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #studioforrent #newyogateachers #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #niagaraworkshops #yogamoms #niagaraworkshopvenue #meetingspacerental #yogaforhealthyaging #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #niagarastrong #goddesscircles #meditationcircle #niagaraentrepreneurs #localyogastudio #yoganearme #niagarastudios #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls See more

Our view at Zen House last evening. A rainbow is quite similar to yoga itself isnt it? Getting here, to your mat, is sometimes like going through a storm - dishes to be done, kids to fed, energy & willpower to muster - but yoga makes it all bright & beautiful again. So worthwhile! We would even go as far as to say its the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! What about you? or or

Can I tell you a secret? I am not exactly who, where, what I want to be. My life has not gone according to my perfect plans! But I have a practice to honour who, where, what I am today. I root down here in all the good that there is to be absorbed. And I lift up, ever-rising towards the light. If this practice can serve you, I would love to share it with you, to help you create peace in your body, mind and breath. Join me, Melanie, Mondays 9:15am for Hatha Yoga or 8:00pm for ...Stretch & Destress.

I didnt have time for a pedicure. Me either. My feet might not look pretty but Ill still be in class. Because we have learned that Yoga doesnt care! For real! Your mat is so accepting! Your feet will feel better after class and thank you for it. Whats another excuse you use to avoid your practice? #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #beginneryogaposes #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #niagarayogateacher #poweryoganiagara #yogamoms #yogamentor #prenatalyogaclass #agegracefully #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #soberyoga #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #yogaforweightloss #yogaforsleep #yogaforhips #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

From Zen House to yours, sending love! If you have school-age children in your life, this is a very uncertain time. As your Zen Family, we just want to remind you Parents, Grandparents and Educators to please fill your own cup so full that it overflows onto those you love and care for. It always starts with you. We also want to remind you that children are born naturally knowing how to seek peace, comfort, safety. Remember when they would cry out to let us know they were hung...ry, needed a diaper change, over tired, needed a hug, soother, etc. Look and listen for the signs that arent as obvious and bold as cries as they grow. And know that we are always here to help. We love to teach adults and children how to access the peace, the Zen, that naturally exists deep within you. Heck, we even throw birthday parties here to do just that! Seriously in addition to regular classes, kids classes, private family sessions, birthday parties, etc, reach out if we can help during this confusing time. Until then, sending love from our Zen House to yours. #zenhouseyogastudio #niagarafallsyoga #yoganiagarafalls #kidsmeditate #gentleyogaclass #yoganiagara #niagarayoga #familyyogaclass #meditationforkids #yogamoms #yogamentor #niagaramoms #kidsyogafun #feelgooddomore #supportlocal #yogaforseniors #niagaraparents #mindfulniagara #niagarawellness #namasteniagara #momsniagara #yogaforsleep #yogafordads #localyogastudio #yoganearme #yogaforguys #niagarayogis #spiritualniagara #meditationniagara #niagarafalls

May the Earth rise to meet you. May your shoulders be relaxed on your back. May Zen shine warm upon your face. May your breath move fully through your body.... *a little Zen House spin on an Irish Proverb, inspired by this gorgeous photo of our lovely Athena @vibrational_movement
