Class Schedules

This Yin Yoga class will incorporate seated and supine asanas, similar to Hatha Yoga, but the poses are held longer to encourage muscle relaxation, a release of the deep connective tissues and an opening of the joints. The Yin practice is passive and does not include standing or balancing poses and over time will increase range of motion, facilitate relaxation and help prepare the mind and body for meditation.

Debbie has been enjoying Yoga since her early teens and has felt the positive benefits of the practice throughout her life. After raising her children, she decided to share her passion with others by receiving her Yoga Teacher Training Certification through Physical Yoga.

Subsequently, she has furthered her studies with The Yoga Studio College of Canada, expanding her knowledge of the Iyengar style of Yoga. This particular branch of Yoga concentrates on precise alignment in poses and the use of props to help make the practice accessible to everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

Most recently she has delved into Yin Yoga, a style which helps the practitioner safely move the stretch further into the joints and connective tissues, enhancing flexibility and facilitating a deep sense of emotional and physical well-being.

Debbie is enthusiastic about introducing people to the practice of Yoga and finds great satisfaction in observing the delicate blossoming of Mind, Body and Spirit.

"The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life." (B.K.S Iyengar)

I started to practise yoga with Nora Maskey in January of 2001. It is through my studies with Nora that I was introduced to the practise of Anusara Yoga®. I am an Anusara-Inspired™ yoga teacher registered at the 200 hour level with Yoga Alliance. I have taught yoga for two years. I teach classes at Unihealth Group, and I am a yoga therapist with Innovative Health Group.

Anusara Yoga® is a modern style of hatha yoga which draws us into alignment with our intrinsic good nature using physical postures, breath and movement. I feel better when I practise yoga: I am more relaxed, more fun-loving, and generally make more sense to myself and to others.

Yoga is a way of realizing and celebrating we are one. Yoga is not an abstract concept separate from us or an experience of removing ourselves. Instead, yoga is the experience of connection and relating to ourselves in our lives in richer and more meaningful ways. A good way to understand yoga is to give it a try.

Inhale: yoga is you Exhale: you are yoga
