At Breathing Space Yoga & Wellness Services we foster a positive and peaceful space for you to relax and renew mind, body, and spirit.

We encourage you to:

• ŸFeel free to perform your yoga at your own pace and really listen to your body and what it needs.
• Perform each yoga pose (asana) slowly, carefully, and mindfully.
• Do not compete with your neighbours or yourself. There is no competition involved in yoga and your neighbours will always be different from you because they are as unique as you are.
• Be open to what you experience in each class. Each class will be unique and influenced by your outside practice as well as your body’s present moment condition.
• Ask questions especially before class. During a yoga pose, if you are uncomfortable or feel any pain, come out and ask the teacher for assistance. You want to build from a strong foundation.
• Be kind and patient with yourself with your yoga practice. Your yoga journey is an ongoing process.
• Mostly, we want you to relax and enjoy yourself. You have chosen this time to quiet the mind, nurture the spirit, appreciate your body and become more in tune with it.
