A Yoga Therapy Workshop and Mini-Retreats are a slower-paced educational practice with alignment corrections offered for your body’s specific requirements where each individual’s concerns and misalignment’s are considered. In the physical practice we combine and explore various yoga postures with supports where needed to assist alignment; somatic and tensegrity movements to help build muscular & nervous system connections building whole body system knowledge and strength in all parts of the body (especially the deep core); Gentle flowing movements linked with the breath to warm the body up boosting positive energy as well as connecting breath, flow of prana & body awareness. We also explore Yin, Restorative & Therapeutic based postures & movement depending on the theme of the workshop. Slo-mo and massage ball releases to assist the letting go of holdings in the deep connective tissues and fascia network may also be taught in these workshop settings. Various breath techniques are taught with the focus to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response) & deepen breath awareness in the body. A 15-20 mins check-in at the beginning of each individual workshop along with knowledge of anatomy & yoga philosophy being guided is discussed before we go deeper into exploration in the practice. It is advised in every workshop to honour being in the present, staying mindful & open-minded and taking the time to explore your body’s sensations & your pain-free range of motion. During the workshop, you have the freedom to ask your questions at any time during the workshop as they arise.Our goal is to “Move into Ease, Joy & Comfort in your Body Mind & Spirit” The Journey is up to you and your efforts for change, awareness, positive health, and Love for self are encouraged.

” Nurture YOU” Self Care Workshops Coming in March 2021 – Dates coming soon!
“As an older woman with a body-worn and torn from a full life and with a youthful spirit eager to remain open and grateful, Annie’s classes have given me exactly what I need: careful and in-depth healing for my joints, revitalization to my central nervous system, and a heart filled with joy and peace. I keep coming back for more, both in her therapeutic group class and registered therapeutic workshops. Her knowledge of the body and how yoga is a powerful tool in its lifelong care is impressive as is her commitment to on-going learning which she generously shares with her students. Most significant is Annie’s inspiring “light” – her gentle, encouraging and positive attitude which fills the room with a nurturing glow. Her rich, warm voice could pacify even the crankiest baby (or old lady!). I have introduced friends and family members to Annie’s gifts and they too have benefited from her wisdom and deep attention. Simply then – I love Annie. She is the BEST!” Susan 2014/2015
