Adapted Yoga - Monday 5:15-6:15 p.m. January 30 - February 27
This class offers a highly personalized approach in a small group context. It is especially ideal for persons with particular needs: anxiety & panic, back conditions, chronic muscle pain and fatigue, arthritis, injury, illness recovery, etc. specialized exercises with slow, controlled movement and full awareness.This class lets you explore what your body is willing to give you and work from that starting point. Learn to build traust and communication between your conscious mind and your body.
It is recommended that participants first receive 1 - 3 private classes to set up an appropriate personal programme which is then integrated into the group class.
Level I - Wednesday 5:30 - 6:45 p.m.. Starts February 1 for 5 weeks
Level I adapts the classical yoga postures to accomodate particular needs. Learn how to modify the yoga poses to allow a comfortable and enjoyable practice regardless of your body's starting point.
It can be helpful to receive 1 - 3 private classes to fully address your particular needs. Often we only need to modify a few poses which you then incorporate into your regular yoga class. Sometimes the body simply needs a more gentle approach to movement and postures.

Private Appointments
$75 approximately 1 hour OR $150 for 3 sessions (recommended)
The following are some of the options available:
Yoga Therapy - your individual needs are assessed and a personlized practice designed just for you. The tools used are yoga exercises, breath work, and relaxation methods.
Energy Medicine - particularly effective when our energetic body (pranamaya kosha) and/or mind body (manomaya kosha) need centering, rooting, grounding and steadying. The emotions and thoughts may be out of control or stuck. You may feel drained or lack enthusiasm for life. You may experience moments of high anxiety or panic.
Chakra balancing, aura cleansing, Great Fire Light healing, Plant energetics, vortex clearing and healing ceremonies are a few options.
Theta Healing - We have 4 levels of beliefs: conditioning from our present life experiences, genetic encoding passed through DNA, past life experiences, soul memory. Most of our beliefs are usually carried in our subconsious mind. Yet they influence everything we think, say and do, often in very negative and limiting ways. Theta healing pulls beliefs that you have outgrown and allows you to create healthy, healed and positive new agreements with yourself. Theta healing also allows you to transform negative emotional patterns into life-affirming feelings.
Sound Healing - Sound speaks directly to your body and reminds it of its original state of perfect harmony. Different frequencies of sound can heal every layer and level of your being: physical, emotional, mental, soul and spirit.
- Drumming steadies the heart and connects us to the natural rhythms of life. Modern lifestyles often lack rhythm and we feel lost, drifting, wanting, searching, yearning, longing ...
- Biosonic tuning forks use very precise frequencies of sound to bring the elements of life into balance within our being: our earth, water, fire, air & ether .
- Bij mantras are 'seed' sounds produced by the voice. In proper combination they restore harmony. They work on a very subtle level.
Spiritual Healing - healing ceremonies and journey work in the Algonquin tradition as taught by Pete Bernard, founder of the 8th Fire School of Algonquin traditional medicine.
Soul and power retrievals, entity extractions, Karmic past life healing, spirit guides, animal totems - these are all powerful resources that prepare you to truly step into your purpose in this life and create your own destiny.
