Wisdom Yoga: Deepen Your Mind-Body Connection!

The power of yoga is connection and the ‘power’ of aging is ‘sage-ing’! Put yoga and sage-ing together and you get ‘Wisdom Yoga for the Sage-ing Years!

Using both the wisdom of the body and the wisdom of the mind, ‘wisdom yoga’ is a gentle & restorative hatha yoga practice, designed to deepen your mind-body connection and add richness and mindfulness to your personal spiritual practice.

It’s all about connection!

It’s yoga for your heart and soul!

Join us in community in Tsawwassen in the Fall 2013.

Wisdom Yoga for Grandparents

It’s all about connection!

Supporting and nurturing the babies of the world is “the work” for us all, whether you are a grandparent by birth or you are a vicarious grandparent. There is not a grand parent I know who doesn’t want to connect with their grand kids! We all have wisdom to share and words of wisdom.

Plus, most of the folks I know in the ‘grand parenting years’ (ie 50 years plus) want to feel energetic, vibrant and flexible and stay up to date with birthing and parenting changes and deepen the mind-body connection!

As a health educator, life coach and registered yoga teacher, not to mention being a ‘grandmother in training’, I infuse my gentle hatha yoga classes with life and health wisdom.

Coming in the fall of 2013, wisdom yoga for conscious grand parenting!

Have a wonderful day.

Topaz Lotus Wellness & Inspired Living: The Love of Family

I have many loves, my family, being on the water, friends, reading, coaching, sharing a good meal with special people, yoga, traveling; to name a few!

Tonight I’m excited to be able to combine quite a few of these.

We are hosting my husband’s extended family on our sailboat and hope for a clearing in the gloomy Vancouver weather to allow for a lovely toddle around English Bay.

It’s a very spirited group with broad interests and life experience and it will be a lovely way to end the work week. Being with family is good for my soul!

Salads, pizza and a ‘beverage of choice’ is on the menu.

Enjoy this wonderful day!

Topaz Lotus Wellness & Inspired Living: Quote of the Day

“If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks’ vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.”

~ Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Interesting thoughts about life and vacations!

Enjoy your day

Random Love

As I was wandering around the quaint older section of downtown Penticton, I happened upon the following simple sign and it spoke to me!

Oh, it is so glorious to be on a mini-vacation in the sun!

I am accompanying my husband to a conference in Penticton BC and have thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I’ve started my days with a power walk along the lakeshore, enjoyed some good java and an amazing almond croissant at The White Apron Pastry Co. and am now reading down at the beach!

Here’s my view …

Topaz Lotus Wellness & Inspired Living: Women’s Book Clubs

For our ‘Women’s Book Club’ (meeting for over 15 years), we have recently read two books that I greatly enjoyed and I would like to share these with you:

“To Be Sung Underwater” by Tom McNeal

and

“Where’D You Go Bernadette: A Novel” by Maria Semple

These two books are quite different, although both are contemporary fiction.  It has been a long time since I enjoyed two books quite so much and I highly recommend both of these books.

Enjoy,

Yoga Teacher Training at Open Door Yoga in Vancouver

It’s 6:25 am on a Saturday morning, I’m sipping a homemade latte, gradually waking up, staring to feel my energy and really looking forward to the day!

It’s Week 20 of a 23 week program of yoga teacher training and we are into the really fun part of training.  Today, we get to practice our postures and, best of all, learn more about Ayurveda with a lovely teacher named Angie.  I coincidentally attended her class this week and absolutely melted into the warm energy of her class.  We shared a chat about doshas, agreeing that we both have a lot of pitta fire.

More to come and enjoy your day!
