vINYASA, REIKI & SOUND

In this class we begin with a short and light breath work session, followed by a 25 minute light vinyasa flow to get your body moving and energy flowing . Once we have nourished every part of our body with movement – You will be brought into a comfortable resting position  to begin a group reiki session . During the reiki session, there will be both hands on ( at your preference) and hands off energy work to continue bringing balance to the mind, body, soul, and nervous system, releasing any left over stagnant or stuck energy, and increasing your overall sense of well-being . The session will end with some sound integration with singing bowls to complete the process. Imagine this as an energetic massage..  leaving your physical body completely relaxed, your energy body cleansed, and your mind at peace.

Meet the INSTRUCTORS

Kate Bridges
Kate is a 500hr yoga teacher who is deeply passionate about what she does. Yoga has been a primal source of her healing and wellbeing.

Kate's classes place a large emphasis on the connection between breath to body, learning how to listen to your body, what it needs, and how to provide that to yourself, as well as regulating the nervous system. This has played a major roll in Kate's personal journey in improving her mental, emotional, and physical health- which is why she is so lovingly eager to share this gift with others. Kate takes what she learns in her own personal journey that has helped with anxiety, stress, and daily challenges of life- and applies them in her yoga classes in hopes that they can help others as well.

Kate believes that there is nothing more important than the connection and relationship you have with your own mind, body, and emotions. She also believes that doing so together- in community- and in a safe space can add so much value to knowing that you are never alone on your journey to health, wellness, healing and joy. Kate is so excited to co-create this space and experience with you.
Tim Kennedy
Growing up immersed in gymnastics and dance, Tim has always been intrigued by the connections between how the body looks, feels and performs.

As a 300+ hour yoga teacher, holistic health therapist and massage therapy graduate. Tim believes in addressing the body as a whole is the only way to find balance and source out the core issues that cause discomfort or dis-ease.

Tim wishes to share what he's learned by integrating the teachings of eastern medicine into western culture.

See you on the mat!
Shannon Banfield
With great reverence, to Shannon, yoga is so much more than the physical. She is always seeking out fun & funky ways to switch up transitions & flows, while still honouring yogic roots; doing her best to blend the traditional with the modern! We powerfully utilize the breath as an anchor, to establish & strengthen the intimacy between the mind & body connection, energies & the soul, between the all pervasive & what resides within.

Her sankalpa [intention] with each class she holds, is to curate the utmost safety & sacredness for all; to go where you need to go, within any & all aspects of yourself. To witness your unique, most authentic individuality, while reminding you of our interconnectedness. Make of her classes, whatever feels best to you - the possibilities are limitless.

See you on the mat!
