One yoga teacher/studio owner and 2 event planners talk about the effects of this pandemic time on their lives and their passions. Mostly this time has been positive but it sure has taken some work to get it there!

Uncertainty... There is nothing but uncertainty in today's world. What if this is actually a gift? What if we have been given this time in order to go within and find our greatest inner beauty and strength, our dharma? Can you pause in your frenetic behaviour and give up control to your soul?

Two colleagues discuss what it is like to hold space for people in a time where we cannot actually sit together or touch a forearm or hug...  One, a psychotherapist and the other a yoga teacher, these two friends reflect on what could come as emerge out of this time of massive global change.

This is the first in a series of podcasts reflecting on women's experiences in a full year of waves of lockdown. Women, traditionally the ones that  hold the community together, may be affected differently when cut off from their friends and acquaintances. In this session, 3 friends gather -- two that are active in theatre and the arts and me, the Yoga girl. My hope is that these podcasts will make you feel less isolated, more compassionate toward yourself and even maybe a little more sane.

Allie, the owner of Ahimsa Yoga Studio,  Barb, manager and teacher and Wendy, yoga teacher reflect on the  Ahimsa Yoga studio  community and how the closure due to the pandemic has affected us. What will emergence from this time look like? What is the cost of being cut off from our daily conversations?

What to do with this nagging feeling of despair as we remain in the dance of a pandemic, the reality of the effects of climate change and a sense of utter powerlessness? We must sit together in the darkened room and listen, undefended, vulnerable and open. We must summon the courage to hear the hard and still stay. Only then will we find the power with and power from within that will lead us into the light.

A conversation between 3 friends, colleagues and yoga instructors about the bowling ball that was COVID rolling toward our studio. Allie, owner of the studio for 22 years, Wendy, teacher and Barb, Manager and teacher all discuss the closure of the bricks and mortar studio, the pivot to online and the subsequent losses and gains. This podcast is a glimmer into what so many studios are going through right now.

Our tanks might be running a little dry lately so I thought this meditation could help. This meditation is designed specifically to calm your nervous system and therefore restore your energy and refill your tanks. Enjoy.

In this first episode of a new season, the fatigue of disruption is sitting on top of us. But, are we in the exact right place? Is this actually exactly what we need to evolve, transform and heal? I think so.

The apocalypse is easy, everything just happens for us, we don't even need to do our work! How about we grow up now and realize that the better work is to take care of ourselves and do our work.  We are stewards of this part of our earth (our selves) and so we must take care, evolve and transform. This is our dharma.
