People are getting stronger by attending the progressive strength classes at the Sunflower studio.
I have been offering these strength building classes for a couple of years now and continue to be amazed by our capacity to build strength. Those that attend regularly have greatly increased their strength. This translates into daily life by feeling more confident when moving around their home, picking up their Grandkids, groceries, etc. Their legs feel stronger on their walks and hikes. In general it seems to create a greater sense of ease when moving through the world.
Of the three opportunities to participate there is space in the Tuesday 3pm class, and the Thursday 7:30pm class. You don’t need any experience. I will help you determine your starting point and support you as you slowly increase your capacity to lift heavier things.

The Sept- Oct set of classes is now open for registration. There is a variety of classes to choose from. Today I will focus on the self- compassion classes. There are two options to attend these online groups. Tuesday morning from 10:30-11:30, and Wed evening from 7:45 - 8:45 pm.

These classes are run in a discussion based format. The class starts with a general check in - usually in the form of sharing a win or an activity you have recently experienced. We then do a short grounding meditation. We move into a discussion around various self compassion based topics . The topics are centered around how we can best honour ourselves and meet ourselves with kindness regardless of what we are going through. We will often do some reflective exercises. Sharing is always optional. You can choose to listen, or listen and share. We end off with a final check in and then a light hearted quote to make us smile.

Please reach out if you are interested in participating in one of these gentle, heart based programs.

It was such beauty crisp sunny day today. I took this picture of a large broken up puddle of ice in a local school yard. When I see this broken ice I see the joy of cracking ice beneath the boots of kids. It was one of my favourite things to do as a child. Brought back wonderful memories.

During our morning walk, on this rainy, darkest day of the year day, I noticed this very patriotic display of our Canadian flag. It was just the thing to be my moment. Happy Winter Solstice!
