Annual Holiday Session ~ December 15th ~ 9:30am or 10:45am
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.

Anahata ~ A Heart Opening Ceremony
with Taylor Vanderzwet
​​
Sunday, November 24th ~ 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Strong Roots Yoga and Paddle Boarding Wellness Studio
A Heart Opening Cacao, Meditation and Community Ceremony
​
Join Taylor for a heart centered ceremony designed to leave you feeling uplifted & calm before the busy holiday season.
Our ceremony will begin with sharing the plant medicine Cacao - Cacao is the main ingredient in chocolate and it’s flavor is rich & bitter. It is known as a superfood & contains the largest variety of nutrients and minerals than any other food on this planet. It is enjoyed warm - just like the hot cocoa you know and love - but with all cacaos nutrients still intact. It provides and uplifting energy to the body and is known to stimulate the heart center, making it the perfect addition to our afternoon together.
Once we have shared cacao medicine through our circle we will come together to create a mandala in the middle using fresh & dried flowers - serving as an active form of group meditation. Finally, we have set the tone to sink into a guided meditation designed to anchor ourselves deeper into the energy of our sacred heart-space or Anahata.
Guests are encouraged to come in comfortable clothing, bring a bottle of water & any special items they would like to incorporate within the mandala

DryLand Flow ~ Indoor SUP Yoga
with Carly Smith
​​​
January 8th to February 5th
Wednesdays from 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Strong Roots Yoga and Paddle Boarding Wellness Studio
​Start your New Year off Strong + Steady!
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!!
