/
Lots of tears, joy, hugs and support. A fantastic day of celebration π. Thank you to everyone who joined us for classes and for those who popped by afterward to share your support! It meant so much to me.
Thank you Mom, Tessa, Margot, Chelsea, Jasmin, Julie, Cheryl, Eco Cafe, Janine, Jaime, Amy, Backstreet Antiques and Village Emporium for your continued support. And to all of our regular students...deep gratitude for all that you are.π€
This special event was the biggest group we have had for our group classes! Our free yoga classes had 32 lovely people for our flow class and 30 for yin! (Our normal class sizes are around 8-10 people so you can definitely expect smaller classes if you join us for a class down the road)! π
People joined us from near and far! From Wetaskiwin, Edmonton, Drayton Valley and Spruce Grove to name a few!π
There is such a special energy in each group class and no two classes are the same. The energy of practicing in βtogethernessβ is so nourishing. Thank you to everyone who came and made the day so special.

Fall Prevention Tips:
- If you are on a slippery surface, keep your knees bent and take short strides. The lower your centre of gravity the better.
- Connect with your feet by using therapy balls/tennis balls to stimulate the proprioceptors on the bottoms of your feet. The more stimulated, the better connected your feet are to the ground.
- Work on improving balance and strength in your legs (there are a variety of different exercises we can give you!)
- If you are walking, stay focused on each step you take. When the mind wanders, this can be distracting for the body.
- Walk around in socks or bare feet at home as much as you can. Wearing thick soled shoes does not allow your feet to connect to the ground so your nervous system has no stimulation work with. We need to FEEL our feet so we know where they are! The better body awareness we have, the more control we have of our movements.
