SUMMER READINGThe ability to rethink and unlearn is a valuable cognitive skill. In a world of rapid change and evolution, it’s something that we can all benefit from cultivating. #1 New York Times Best Selling Authors Adam Grant provides methods – with compelling anecdotes – on how we can change our own and others’ thinking. Get ready to confront your assumptions, instincts, beliefs, and habits and see how they may be sabotaging your interests and goals, and your ability to work with and through others to achieve desirable outcomes. |  |
CLEANING HOUSE, CLEARING MIND
Cleaning house has become a symbolically meaningful part of my practice— whether it’s the aches in my body calling attention, the relationships I nurture or the place I call my home, each invites contemplation and carries both practical and deeper significance.
As I teenager, I used to put it off. I disliked it cleaning and viewed it as a dreaded chore with no reward. But as I matured, I started to feel a connection with myself when consistently cared for my body: making time to prepare my meals from whole foods, valuing rest and becoming disciplined in my physical and spiritual practices. I soon realized that maintaining my home and my relationships reflected the same kind of care, evaluation and attention. I started to see the parallels. It became clear that neglecting these areas meant neglecting parts of myself.
Most clients that come to my classes or work with me privately tell me that connection is what draws them to this space, to understanding more about their bodies. They want to feel more connected to their bodies and to the community of like minded people that also show up here. Connection isn’t only found through impressive skills or big goals. Basic tasks like sweeping the floor, folding the laundry, checking in with a friend or just simply moving and sweating can be moments of true connection in the seemingly mundane again and again.
NEW FAVOURITE SUMMER SCENT!
This natural, yet effective, aluminum-free deodorant from Nala Care harnesses the powerful ability of baking soda to neutralize odour and control sweat with the intoxicating blend of pink grapefruit, neroli flower oil, and basil. A fresh citrus and floral scent that contrasts with a hint of sharp black peppercorn. Nala is one of the best natural deodorants because it glides on clear, doesn't stain shirts, and helps to combat odour and wetness. Plus they are made in Vancouver! Sold in studio for $32 each with free local delivery.
Other scents currently in stock are Bergamot and Sandalwood as well as Rosewood.

“ Wellbeing is about the combination of our love for what we do each day, the quality of our relationships, the security of our finances, the vibrancy of our physical health, and the pride we take in what we have contributed to our communities. Most importantly, it’s about how these five elements interact.”
