Winter Solstice
Restorative Yoga, Sound + Aromatherapy
with Jessica Darmanin
​
Sunday, December 17th ~ 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Strong Roots Yoga and Paddle Boarding Wellness Studio
​
You are invited to celebrate your inner-light as we honour the extraordinary nature that is lightness and darkness. Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year, with the least amount of light in our day and offers the most time in the magic of darkness, until we return to more time with light. This journey is an invitation to promote the healing balance that is both light and dark, within us, and around us, without craving or avoiding what is or what will be. Join us, for this seasonal transition in order to notice, prepare, ground, receive, and transmit our collective energies and awareness in loving community.
This experience will include a Restorative Yoga and Meditation practice to invite the energy channels of your being to open in order to promote balance and ease. Yoga bolsters and blocks will be provided. You are invited to dress comfortably and encouraged to bring pillows, blankets, an eye mask, and any other tools that will support your healing journey.
The use of sound will include singing, ukulele, a crystal tones singing bowl, tuning forks, light percussion, and mantra. The way we move and sound our bodies coupled with the stillness of the practice we will encourage the way we see and explore the superpowers of the body, mind, and spirit.
The use of essential oils, sage, and cedar medicines will be incorporated in this experience to assist with clearing old, stagnant energies and invite new and vibrant tones as we notice the harmony that exists within the light and dark.
Please connect with us if you have any questions. Space is limited to 12 spots. Signing up for this event will reserve your place. Come with yourself or bring a neighbour, friend, or members of your family. We look forward to supporting your hearts and souls at this magical time.
Restorative Yoga + Meditation
with Carly Smith
​
Classes are held once a month
Next Session - Dec. 17th
Holistic Salt Therapy + Cave, Uxbridge
​
Not only will you receive all the wonderful benefits of restorative yoga + meditation, you will also receive the most amazing physical and mental benefits of the Holistic Salt Therapy and Cave.
​
Salt Caves have many healing properties and energies. The negative ions that are present in the room help to naturally draw out toxins and bacteria’s from our body. It can help to alleviate many different ailments such as reducing inflammation, clearing our airways and helping to eliminate bacteria in our sinuses and lungs. It can also help to lower stress, regulate our nervous system and so much more. I’ve said it plenty before, but I’ll continue to say it again and again, as it is definitely one of my favourites - it gives you break from the external world and all the stimuli that comes along with it.
​
Registration is per class. Space is LIMITED.

DryLand Flow - Indoor SUP Yoga
(5 Week Series)
with Carly Smith
​
January 9th to February 6th
Tuesday's from 6pm to 7pm
Strong Roots Yoga and Paddle Boarding Wellness Studio
​
Join us in this fun and invigorating 5-week series, no water necessary!
Keep your SUP Yoga practice going with our indoor balance boards. Even if you never plan to join us on the water this is a great class to work on those tiny stabilizer muscles that don't generally get used in everyday life, and to build up balance, strength, focus + confidence.
Indoor SUP Yoga 5-Week Series:
Get to Know your Board, The Basics:
In the first week of DryLand Flow, it is important we get to know the board. We will be going through basics on how to get on and off the board, use of paddle, water safety, etc. We will be doing some basic seated and reclining postures, so that we can begin to feel the difference between engagement and non-engagement. As well as how to use your breath to help maintain balance and focus through the 5 week course.
Slow & Steady:
Now that we've learned a little more about the use of your muscles and breath, it's time we start to play with some balance & create a deeper focus. Moving at a slow and steady pace, we will practice some standing asanas which require full attention & mindfulness. You will leave this class feeling inspired.
Ready, Set, Flow:
Combining everything we learned in the first two weeks, we are ready to take flow. We will start with a 5 minute mindfulness meditation & breath work, to help ground and focus our minds before taking the practice into a full vinyasa sequence. Class will finish with a relaxation period, leaving you energized and balanced.
Take it up a Notch:
It's time to take this practice to a whole new level. Cushions will be incorporated into this class to raise the boards to higher heights, making your ground a little less stable. Class will include all the techniques we've learned in the first 3 weeks to assist you on your journey of deepening your balance and focus.
Free Flow:
In this class, we will play with everything we've learned and move at your own pace, focusing on anything that your body and mind still require. Cushions are optional in this class. This class is meant to assist you on leaving this 5 week course feeling strong & open to many new possibilities.
Most of all, lets have fun!!
