Good Morning and Happy New Year!
I am so excited by the possibilities in 2014; are you? What were your affirmations for this year?
Was one of them more exercise, better food choices, improved sleep habits, better health in general? And have you begun to make changes? Well you are cordially invited to come and try yoga this year.
In the last three years here are the biggest improvements I have seen in myself since committing to a yoga practice.
1. I am truly happier at a deep level.
2. I am stronger and more flexible.
3. I still have some body pain, however I am able to locate the area and often stretch and release the muscles that are tight and painful.
4. I have better balance.
5. I am making healthier food choices.
Do you want this? Come on out, it can be intimidating to come into a class and be uncomfortable at first, however we create a fun class of laughter, stretching, honouring our bodies and only doing what we can.
There are changes: Tuesday is an ongoing, more intermediate class – generally best for someone with a little yoga experience. 9:30 – 11:00 am.
Thursday is your best class for just starting, we will go back to the basics and be gentle and slow with a gradual increase in stretching and strengthening. 9:30 – 11:00 am
** Important note: I have moved the chair yoga to shorten the class and make it a little later in the day. Chair yoga is great if you have limited mobility, if you are healing from surgery or illness, it is gentle and fun. Denham Kelsey (my most regular participant) and I have truly enjoyed growing in balance, deepening our breath and enjoying our peaceful time exploring our own inner world. We would love others to experience the joy we feel from our time together breathing, moving and opening.
Chair Yoga: Tuesday: 11:15-12:05 (45 minutes) – Very Gentle Yoga
New: Starting Next week – Wednesday 7:00-8:30 pm –a night class for relaxation.
Watch for more on this, later this week. We will start this one January 15th. This will teach you about chakras, colour, hormones and so much more as well as your poses and meditations for peace and happiness.
Take care, please call Dawn Gordon @ 250-246-9212, or email: dawn_gordon@telus.net if you are interested, but a little nervous about coming out. We can always do a private class together to see where you are and modify some of the poses to meet your specific needs.
Namaste and hope to see you on a mat in 2014!!
Warmly, Dawn
