Yoga4Strength

Combine yoga, strength work, balance and core in 60 minutes! This fun, dynamic class will get you moving and feeling strong. It's an all-levels class AND expect a good challenge. The strength exercises can be adapted to suit what you need on that day.

This is not a traditional yoga class!

The class flows between three sections - the first 15 minutes to settle into breath and begin to warm-up with yoga, then 30 minutes to flow through your six exercise strength program, followed by a yoga cool-down and a five minute savasana.

Equipment needed:

• two heavy weights
• two medium weights
• two chunky blocks or bricks
• resistance band
• chair
• pillows and blankets

All classes are in Pacific (Vancouver/LA) time and 60 minutes long.

Flow yoga

Let's do yoga at home, together! I am loving teaching yoga on Zoom and hope you can join me.

This full body yoga flow will have a different focus each week and is suitable for beginners and beyond. It's the most like the Flow classes I offer on doyogawithme.com.

The first five minutes of the class we'll relax and settle in, then move into a gentle warm-up from the floor and up to standing, we'll flow through a few sun salutations with standing poses and balances throughout, then move back down to the floor for some seated work before shifting into the cooldown and finishing with a five minute savasana.

Equipment needed:

• two chunky blocks or bricks
• resistance band
• chair
• pillows and blankets

All classes are in Pacific (Vancouver/LA) time and are 60 minutes long.

Mini Retreat

Need an afternoon to decompress, move your body and gather with like minded folks? Join us for a Mini Retreat! This relaxing four hour session includes two classes - one Slow Flow and one Restorative - as well as a Yoga Nidra (guided mediation) session. We'll hit pause halfway through our time together to break for snacks and tea.

We'll be meeting in the large, light filled sanctuary at the First Unitarian Church on West Saanich Road. It's an easy 20 minute drive from downtown Victoria.

A friendly reminder that this Mini Retreat is not affiliated with this church or any religion, just a lovely place to have a retreat!

It is recommended you have some yoga experience.
