Workshops & Events

A sequence for breast health

With Kim Zombik

Rescheduled to January 18th, 2025
1 pm to 4 pm

 

This workshop will help us take steps to encourage and preserve the health of our breasts.
In this 3-hour workshop, you can expect to learn a sequence of not only yoga asana, but qi-gong and guided meditation that will enlighten your relationship to your breasts. We will support the healthy action of the liver, which filters hormones, and improve circulation into and around the delicate tissues of the breasts, armpits, and lymph nodes.
Guided meditations will help us to further befriend and support our breasts.

(Since we will be working in a way that increases circulation, this workshop is most appropriate for women who do not presently have breast cancer).

Yoga Nidra and Sound Meditation
for the Winter Solstice

With Kim Zombik

December 20th, 2024
7 pm to 9 pm

 

At the winter solstice, we follow the path of transformation through the darkness into the light of a new beginning. We go through a cycle of perpetual motion: the year goes from light to dark to light. Our attention, our energy, the body, the nervous system, our thoughts, our whole lives, never separated from the cycles of time itself, go like this: Light, dark, light. Let us join this winter solstice to honor the return of precious light with restorative yoga, the sound of singing bowls and meditation.

Movement and body writing

with Brigitte Vaillancourt

Sunday November 3rd from 10 am to 12.30 pm

The movement and writing workshop offers a space to play at putting into words what arises when the body moves, breathes or stands still. The aim is to untie body and mind by alternating yoga and writing sessions. It’s also about refining a certain way of paying attention to or listening to what’s inscribed in the body, particularly when it forgets itself, warms up, relaxes. The workshop is open to everyone, whether you write a little, a lot or not at all. No previous yoga experience is necessary

September 17th to October 29 October, 2024 (pause on October 22nd)
November 5th to December17th, 2024 (pause on December 3rd)

 

This course aims to establish the foundations of mindfulness meditation with the Unified Mindfulness system, a clear, precise and comprehensive approach to meditation. The practice of meditation is defined in this system as the development of three complementary attentional skills: concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity.

The program for this session will present five meditation techniques and how to use them according to the needs, interests, and opportunities that arise in our lives. We will also learn how to practice these techniques in action in our daily lives, how to deal with obstacles that may arise in meditation and how to grow and deepen our practice over time.

Including teachings on techniques and strategies, guided meditations, and periods for discussions about practice, this highly interactive course aims to make the practice of mindfulness meditation accessible to all and to debunk myths that hinder its practice.

Both those who have never practiced meditation and experienced meditators who wish to deepen their practice are welcome!

** Workshop offered in French.

Yoga for hormonal cycles

With Brigitte Vaillancourt
6 Wednesdays, 7:10 to 8:15 pm
– September 25th to 30 October 20th, 2024
– November 13th to December 18th, 2024

 

This series is for all women who would like to develop a practice adapted to their hormonal cycles. Together, we’ll explore different ways of coping with the symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle, perimenopause and menopause.

More specifically, over the course of six sessions, we’ll explore various targeted approaches to yoga:
– Restorative postures to calm and rest the nervous system
– Guided breathing, particularly around the pelvic area
– Yin postures and movements to promote circulation and vitality

By getting together every week, and allowing ourselves time and space, we’ll have the opportunity to pay attention to what’s more sensitive, to what fluctuates. Ultimately, it’s about gently apprehending the transitions specific to women’s physiology in a different way, and possibly getting to know and welcome ourselves better.
Accessible to all.

Accessories needed:
– belt, chair, one or two towels (or blankets).
– 2 blocs, 3 blankets, 1 bolster, 1 strap for Live broadcast registers.
