My Little Studio & More

small and comfy

Classes hold 5 students maximum so you get to know people and are able to be totally comfortable. The studio is at the back of my basement with two south facing windows and two doors separating it from the main area. It is bright and warm.  I love it! Basement does mean there are a few stairs.

I have lots of props - bolsters, blocks, straps, balls, sand bags, tune up balls - but please bring a yoga mat.  No scents please.

family home, parking & entry and other locations I teach

My family includes my husband, Derek, our son, Colin, and our silly, friendly dog, Maverick, a mini Australian Shepherd. 

If you want to come for one-on-one sessions, don't worry, classes are animal free (althoughMav sometimes try to sneak in for some love just before class starts) If you are not comfortable with a dog greeting, just let me know and my husband will keep him occupied or take him out for a much enjoyed walk.

Parking - we are on a corner and have two driveways on Hilson Ave. The second one is in front of our detached garage. Feel free to use either one. Otherwise street parking on Hilson is usually very easy to get. Please do not park in front of our house on Lyman Street. You will be ticketed. (unfortunately this has been proven)

Entry - use the front door off our porch.  Just walk in. We know you are coming. Please do not knock or ring the doorbell as this will just rev up the dog. I will usually be there to greet you but sometimes I am down in the studio getting things set up. Remove your shoes, hang your jacket and just head on downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs there is a bathroom to the right and the studio is through the laundry room on the left. If you have bags or purses they can be left on the dryer just outside the studio so the room doesn't get too crowded. Please arrive a few minutes early to get settled.

I teach mostly at other locations now where you are most welcome

I host 2 classes at Rideau Park United Church, 2203 Alta Vista Drive - Chair Yoga and Gentle Mobility Hatha (see Class Sessions - page 3) Rooms are larger which allows for students to spread out, with lots of windows which can be opened during nice weather, and lots of parking. There is also an elevator for those who cannot do stairs. If you have yoga blocks, a yoga strap and a blanket or thick towel please bring them, along with your mat. Classes are gently paced. Come and join these friendly groups. Sign up by contacting me.

Yin Yoga is back in my home studio at New Moon Yoga. Space is limited but a small class means more personal attention if needed. A relaxing, safe environment is created with candlelight and supportive props. You leave feeling calm and relaxed.

On Sunday mornings I teach a Gentle Flow class at Inner Soul Yoga and Cycle at 190 Colonnade Rd. It is part two of what they call “Spoga”. The first 45 minutes is a spin class, followed by 45 minutes of yoga. You can sign up for both or pick either class individually for one class price. Such a great, friendly studio with lots of different classes. Sign up is through their website at https://www.innersoul.ca or the Mind Body app.

Monday and Wednesdays, 10:15am-11am, I teach Chair Yoga classes at the Villa Marconi Conference Centre at 1026 Baseline Road. Contact me if you want more information on joining this welcoming group.
