New Yoga Studio

I’m delighted to announce that I’ve partnered with Alexandra Nedergaard of Salt and Honey Holistic Health and Wellness to offer all of our yoga classes together… in our beautiful new studio in Blockhouse, N.S. at 566 NS-325 (next to Sam Ali’s General Store). We are now called Blockhouse Yoga & Wellness Studio.

Alexandra and I will be combining our energies and positive intentions in this new space. Starting in September, all of our classes will be available under a pass system (single class, ten classes, or monthly unlimited). Even better, a pass entitles you to attend any yoga class held by either teacher!

All of our yoga classes will be available either in-person or online. For in-person classes, we’ve instituted an online booking system. This enables us to ensure that no class will contain more people than the limit required to maintain social distancing. If you prefer to do yoga in the comfort of your home, any in-person class will also be available over Zoom! Check out our schedule and find the class (or classes) that are right for you.

We offer a variety of passes to suit your schedule and your needs (see schedule below). To purchase a pass, please visit our shop at the Blockhouse Yoga & Wellness website.

I look forward to sharing yoga with you in our new space! If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Namo is a salutation, and Bhagavate is one who is becoming… Continue reading Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya

Om Shanti Om This chant is beautiful in its simplicity. Om is believed to be a sound of the whole cosmic manifestation. Shanti means peace. Together, this chant is about radiating peace.
