The push & the pause.
The strength work & the calming nervous system support.
Movement & stillness.
The June Summer Challenge is themed around balancing doing and being. The summer can be a busy time which is so great! And we also need to bring in the down time so our body and mind have time to reset. Just as we train our muscles to get stronger, we also have to train our mind and nervous system to relax.
Many people feel like they are not worthy or valuable when they are not "doing" something all of the time. But it is in the stillness where our bodies actually "do" their best healing. And with the constant stimulation in the world, it is important to give ourselves space and time to reset the nervous system numerous times each day so it doesn't end up moving into chronic stress. Chronic stress can cause digestion issues, poor sleep, heart issues, hormone imbalance, increased anxiety and depression, chronic fatigue and burnout (this coming from experience).
The body is a healer and the most powerful healing happens in the stillness. What the mind may see as “doing nothing,” the body experiences as restoring, recalibrating and healing...so there is actually always something happening in what might be perceived as nothing!
This challenge can also help with accountability and implementing consistent self-care where results can be experienced quickly with a steady routine. Experience feeling strong and energized while also staying grounded and replenished throughout a busy summer season.
The classes offer a balanced weekly routine so that the body and mind receive replenishment and also enough challenge so that they can actually settle easier into relaxation and rest. It is true that the body can rest better when it has had enough challenge and movement!

In a world of constant stimulation, we need intentional white space...time to pause, breathe, and simply be. After all, we are human beings, not human doings!
And from the "being" in our lives, our "doing" becomes more focused, grounded and balanced.
Class Descriptions are:
Mondays @ 9:30am: Activated Alignment Yoga Class
Muscles move us. Our skeleton holds us up. Our fascia holds us together! Fascia isn’t just tissue - it's a sensory network that allows your body to feel itself and organize your daily activities so they take on a cumulative nutritious effect. Over time, your fascia becomes a record of how you have lived in your body.
If you have been dealing with a nagging issue for a long time it means it has "baked" itself into your fascia. Which means that permanent healing and recovery requires a sustained and consistent approach while that fascia is re-organized. So we are working with that approach in this class! This class uses fascial activation in yoga poses to improve:
- strength
- functional flexibility
- mind-body coordination & connection
- nervous system health
- joint strength & stability
- tissue healing
Wednesdays @ 9:30am: Weights & Yoga
This class builds strength, lean body mass and bone density by using free weights. We cover the whole body with different weight training exercises in each class. In the second half of the class we use yoga to support recovery and repair, decreasing muscle stiffness and soreness.
Fridays @ 9:30am: Restorative Yoga & Soundbath for Nervous System Support
This class is a grounding reset for the nervous system. It includes poses to open and relax the body. It finishes with a vibrational healing soundbath to support and balance your energy.
Can’t commit to the full month? Drop-ins and a 4-class pass are available!

Serenity Sunday Session
Navigate Your Way: A Conversation on Hormones, Food & Your Nervous System
With Joanna Brown, Functional Hormone Specialist & Clinical Nutrition Practitioner
Live via zoom Sunday June 28 @ 2-3pm
This will be a real conversation, led by one of Edmonton’s most trusted voices in women’s hormone health, where you actually get to talk about what’s going on in your body with other women who get it.
With two decades in the health industry and the last ten years focused entirely on women’s health, Joanna Brown has guided women through every stage of the hormone journey, from the “I just feel off” years in your 30s to the very real shifts of perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Together you will move through the conversations women aren’t having enough of:
• Why your body started changing before anyone warned you it would
• How to navigate a healthcare system that doesn’t always have the answers you need
• What it looks like to nourish your body instead of fight it
• How your nervous system and the food on your plate are connected to all of it
Also included will be an online support package including a hormone-loving recipe guide and online movement and meditation classes to support your nervous system and hormones.
If you’re somewhere between your 30s and 60s, something has shifted, and you’re wanting to feel less overwhelmed, this hour is for you.
Investment: $35 + GST
