As Certified Infant Massage Teacher, Michelle brings unique ideas, perspectives and skills to her latest venture and natural progression, Lumière de bébé. Michelle has been working in the health care and educational fields since 1990.

Anecdotal information and Research studies have shown the many positive short term, and long term benefits, of nurturing touch and infant massage, not only for babies, but for their caregivers too. Such benefits include: becoming more “in sync” with baby - giving parents the tools to understand the child’s unique rhythms, awareness through loving touch and caring attention, improved sleeping patterns, release of nurturing hormones and fun - special time between caregiver and baby, providing nurturing interaction as the baby grows!

Restorative with Healing Sounds

Restorative yoga is a powerful practice aimed at regulating the nervous system. In today's society, we are in a constant state of over-stimulation and as a result can feel like we are losing control of our emotional and physical state. The Restorative practice utilizes props to fully support the body in long-held postures. In this state of full support with focus on the breath, the mind and body are subtly reminded to return to their natural state of being. Thus the body and mind begin to restore themselves.

This workshop combines a classical restorative practice with the profound healing power of sound. This unique practice may integrate singing bowls, shamanic drumming, chanting and specially composed music. Experience a profound state of relaxation amidst blissful music and sound.

The restorative yoga style is ideal for students of all abilities and backgrounds.

Date: Saturday June 15th
Time: 4:00 – 6:00pm
Cost: $30.00 + GST

Practical Meditation

Have you ever wanted to start a meditation practice, maintain its consistency and reap the many physiological benefits? For many, this is a nice idea, but the major hurdle to achieving this goal is lack of time. We move through our lives with little to no time dedicated to ourselves, and as a result we suffer from high levels of stress, lack of sleep resulting in emotional and physical tensions. Wouldn’t it be amazing to move through life with more energy and a clearer mind?

This practical meditation series offers student realistic ways to integrate easy meditation techniques into their daily lives. Students attend one 60-minute class per month, over a four month period. Time between classes allows students time to practice one or more of the described meditation techniques. Journaling is strongly recommended, but not required. Student experiences will be shared and discussed at each monthly class to provide support and share insights. The workshop begins with a discussion of the scientific benefits of meditation. Students are provided with excerpts from scientific journals and texts that use peer review and the scientific method to support the benefits of the practice.

Dates: September 8th, October 6th, November 3rd, December 1st.
Time: Sundays from 2:30-3:30pm
Cost: $75.00 + GST

 

Introduction to Yoga

Deciding to attend your first yoga class can be exciting, but for many people it is equally as intimidating. Many students enter their yoga practice with preconceived notions, such as a necessity to be overtly flexible, have amazing athletic stamina, have zero injuries and (of course) the natural ability to place their foot behind their head! Allow yourself the chance to dispel preconceived notions and experience yoga through the joyful and exciting eyes of a beginner. Learn methods to achieve the ultimate goal in a yoga practice and experience how yoga is so much more than the physical body.

This four-week intensive workshop will introduce you to Classical Hatha Yoga (yoga that pertains to the physical body), structured with the intention of creating a comfortable progression into yoga regardless of ability. Slow movement in and out of postures is emphasized allowing for increased guidance and a deeper understanding of the physical and energetic body. Breathing, meditation and mindful movement will be explored. This registered course will leave beginners with a traditional and strong foundation upon which they may scaffold their yogic journey.

This workshop begins with an instructional lecture, followed by a detailed yoga class offering a variety of variations for beginner yogis.

Dates: Sundays, Sept 15, 22, 29 & Oct 6
Time: 3:30 – 5:00pm
Cost: $110.00 + GST (includes unlimited yoga classes through the duration of the course)

Dates: Sundays, Jan 12, 19, 26 & Feb 2

Yin Yoga and the Meridians

Balance your Yang with some Yin! Yin Yoga is a practice that focuses on ligaments, joints, deep connective tissue where poses are held safely for several minutes. This five-week series guides students through a Yin Yoga flow, with each class focusing on an associated pair of meridians (energy channels) in the body. Students have the opportunity to tap into a deeper relationship between yin yoga poses and the internal governing organs of the energy channels. Allow the experience of a consistent yin yoga practice deepen your yang asana practice. Specialized guided breathing exercises will complement each yin flow.

Dates: Saturdays, Sept 21, 28, Oct 5, 19, 26
Time: 4:00 – 5:30pm
