MINDFUL Movement
Make time for you! Take an opportunity to connect with yourself and tune into your needs through light yoga movement, breathwork, and meditation. This workshop series is for all bodies, all genders, all abilities, and all levels of yoga experience. Though sign up is required, there is no commitment to attend all 8 classes. This series is being led by Jamie Consoli, Indigenous Counsellor and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200). She strives to create a space that is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and accessible, while honouring community over competition.

YOGA WITH BARB
A class designed for all levels from beginner to advanced yogi. Barb's approach to yoga is very intuitive, being more interested in how you feel in each of the poses and the flow rather than the look of the perfect pose.  If you have your own yoga mat, strap and 2 blocks please bring with you to class. If you don’t, that’s alright. We’ve got you covered! A typical class will start with breath work, warm up, core work and a flow. Barb is a 200hr Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher.
