• We are doing everything possible to maintain distancing and safety. Under the new guidelines the lounge will not be available for socializing at this time.
• Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your class.
• If you don't have a mat stored at the studio you will need to bring one, along with your own water bottle and any props you may like.
•  The studio props and beverage station are off limits for now.
• When you arrive you will see tape marks on the studio floor - please place the top edge of your mat at one of these spots.
• As per the Health Unit mask regulation, physical activity is exempt. We do ask that you please wear your mask whenever walking around the studio space, entry and hallways - once set up on your mat it can be removed. Hand sanitizer will be available, and we are keeping a strict cleaning schedule.
• Class sizes will be limited, and priority given to members if a wait-list situation arises.
• Since we must limit class size to provide adequate spacing for everyone, you must pre-register. The Wellness Living Achieve app is your friend. 
• When booking a class it is important that you attend or cancel early enough (at least four hours) for someone else to take the spot. Especially for the popular weekend classes there may be a waitlist created. If you join a waitlist, you need to make sure your notification settings are turned on in the app to be notified as space becomes available.
• ***No shows and late cancels (less than 4 hours) will be charged a $15 fee***

Any questions or concerns please reach out. We can't wait to welcome you back into our space! Let's get back on the mat, back to practice, and back to community. Evolving into the best versions of ourselves, so our practice can truly benefit all beings.

With love, in metta,

 Prepare yourself for deep relaxation. This special 90 minute class will include 5-6 restful poses followed by a 45 minute yoga nidra to relieve stress. Pure bliss.

Held for 5-10 minutes, restorative poses include light twists, seated forward folds, and gentle backbends. Most restorative practices are based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. You are welcome to bring a bolster/cushion - two large blankets will be provided to support your postures and will be specially laundered after each use.

Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep is a guided meditation practice intended to induce physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Aside from being relaxing, restorative and restful, yoga nidra is known to ease insomnia, decrease anxiety, alleviate stress, reduce PTSD, chronic pain and chemical dependency and boost overall resiliency and emotional balance.

Join me in a new weekly class that focuses on developing your ability to use and understand Tai-ji-quan (also known as Tai Chi Chuan) and Qi-gong.

Each week we will practice energy cultivation (Qi-gong), gathering our energy using breath and movement.

Over time you will become adept in two Qi-gong forms which strengthen, lengthen and tone the body.

In the second half of the lesson we will learn the ‘Long Form’ from a series of choreographed Tai-ji-quan movements each having a therapeutic effect on the body.

Each movement has a purpose and a function, the movements also have interesting name such as ‘grasp the birds tail’ and my favorite ‘repulse the monkey’…

Coordinating movement can be daunting at first , therefore the lessons are always light hearted!This class is ‘internal’ and both art forms can be used as a method of, deep self-inquiry, singe pointed awareness or an opportunity to learn to embody and transcend your expression of physicality!
