May/June Classes in Halifax

Yin Yoga 

A quiet, reflective practice. Poses held for longer, supported by props, to allow for a deeper release. Your muscles begin to relax into the postures, allowing your connective tissues to open and stretch. A yin practice can be very restful and rejuvenating – a great balance to your active, yang lifestyle.

Make Your Own Yoga!

Can’t make these times? No problem! How about:

• a one-on-one class, just for you?
• a private class for you and your friends?

Price: $45 an hour.

Location Options:

• We can practice in the comfort of your own home.
• I can accommodate up to 3 students at my place.
• For larger groups, we can rent a room at a community centre. My hourly rate doesn’t include rental fees, which range from around $12-$20 an hour.

I believe that everyone who is interested in yoga should be able to enjoy a class. I have tried to make my class pricing reasonable for most budgets. However, if you would like to take one of my classes but can’t make it work financially, please let me know. I’d be happy to discuss payment plans or other alternatives.
