Yoga

Therapeutic Yoga

INSTRUCTOR: Alyssa LeBlanc, RMT

Small classes to allow for social distancing, individualized coaching and modifications. Due to COVID-19 we are asking participants to please provide own yoga mat, blocks, and blanket.

Inspired by Alyssa’s desire to teach patients move better and help patients beyond her scope as a massage therapist, this anatomy-based class is ideal for beginners, those recovering from injury or underlying conditions and those looking to improve and maintain their daily functional movement. It is a perfect class to bridge the gap between physiotherapy to a home or studio-based practice and will incorporate chair yoga, breath-work while focusing on improving mobility, balance and strength of the spine, hips and extremities.

Therapeutic Yin Yoga

INSTRUCTOR: Alyssa LeBlanc, RMT

In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a longer period of time (typically three to five minutes) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments and joints) rather than focusing on the muscles.

Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga.

Benefits of Yin Yoga:

We find our edge with guidance in Yin poses, bringing breath awareness to these poses, take inventory in these targeted deep stretches while cultivating stillness and hold space for ourselves. Classes are 75 Minutes with breathwork and mediation. We use lots of props and alternative to explore what works best for your body. Alyssa looks forward to sharing space with you and will see you on the mat!

Chair Yoga

INSTRUCTOR: Alyssa LeBlanc, RMT

This class is suitable for all ages and fitness levels including mobility issues. Our classes are small so that we can give support and guidance to each individual. Classes are 60 minutes with breathwork, warm-ups, sequences, cool-down, and meditation. 

Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga practiced while seated in a chair or standing using a chair as support. Derived from hatha yoga, chair yoga includes a combination of strengthening and stretching with breathwork and meditation. We make sure your practice is accessible to you however you decide to show up on your mat based on your needs and abilities. 

We will touch on some traditional yoga philosophy, the benefits of yoga and introduce some other variations of yoga styles.
