Blockhouse Yoga Studio

I’m so happy to have been sharing this beautiful space with Alexandra Nedergaard for over 3 years now! Our beautiful studio in Blockhouse, Nova Scotia is at 566 NS-325 (next to Sam Ali’s General Store). We are Blockhouse Yoga & Wellness Studio.

All of my yoga classes continue to be available both in-person and online. I am teaching 4 classes a week, and you can check out my current schedule.  I’m teaching 6 to 8-week sessions, and if you don’t happen to catch it at the beginning, that’s no problem, you can join anytime during the session. Send me a message (link below) and I’ll help you determine the class that’s right for you to start with, and pro-rate classes for wherever we’re at in the session.

If the timing of my live classes doesn’t work for your schedule, I offer a variety of on-demand yoga class bundles available to stream anytime. These classes bring strength and flexibility to the physical body, while connecting to the peaceful centre inside. I’d love to share them with you. The yoga bundles can be found here. And if you could use a little love for your back, check out my FREE SI joint relief tutorial, in which I share 5 poses to support the sacroiliac joint and low back.

I look forward to sharing yoga with you at Blockhouse Yoga or in my virtual studio! If you have any questions, please get in touch.

I stopped and watched him, just a foot or so in front of me, making his way towards the right side of the road.… Continue reading Caterpillar Teachings

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya

Om is the primordial and sacred sound vibration of the universe or the essence of all creation. Namo is a salutation, and Bhagavate is one who is becoming… Continue reading Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
