Alchemy Yoga Cochrane

🍂 The trees don’t apologize for letting go. Neither should you.

There is a wisdom in fall.

The trees don’t cling to what has run its course. They release, make space, and trust what comes next.

Our bodies aren’t so different.

We carry experiences, emotions, tension, and patterns long after the moment that created them has passed. Somatic Emotional Release is an invitation to step out of the thinking mind and into the body, creating space to notice what you’re holding and allowing whatever is ready to move, move.

Join Meghan McGovern Meghan McGovern Wellness for one of two Somatic Emotional Release sessions this fall at Alchemy.

🍂 Saturday, October 31st | 2:00–4:00 PM
🍂 Saturday, November 28th | 7:00–9:00 PM

Come with curiosity. Come exactly as you are.

You don’t have to understand everything you’re carrying to decide you don’t want to carry it anymore.

Sometimes the practice is simply learning to let go. 🍂

🍂🍁Autumnal Equinox with Katie Riley 🍁🍂

An Evening of Storytelling, Sound, Movement, Ritual & Deep Rest

At the Equinox, we meet equal light and equal dark, a threshold moment of balance before we begin our descent into the darker half of the year, as the earth turns and leads us towards rest.

Gather together around ancient tales, stories of descent and return. Experience intentional movement, reflection and ritual as we explore the power of the stories we tell, before settling into deep rest with scent and sound.

A few details of the evening are best left to be discovered.

You’ll leave with thoughtfully chosen keepsakes to carry a little of your experience home with you.

🗓️ Saturday, September 19th
🕣 6:30–8:30pm · 2 hours

*Limited to 20 spaces

Namaste 🙏

👶✨ Bring the baby. Find your breath.

Motherhood can be beautiful, exhausting, messy, hilarious, and everything in between. Sometimes you just need an hour to move your body, take a breath, and connect with other moms who get it.

Join Chelsey Beda for our next 6-week Moms & Babes Yoga Series, created for moms and babies up to crawling.

Expect mindful movement, gentle strengthening, breath, connection, and plenty of space for whatever your baby brings that day. Feeding, fussing, sleeping, giggling, wiggling, it’s all welcome here.

This isn’t about having the perfect yoga practice. It’s about getting out of the house, reconnecting with yourself, spending time with your little one, and finding some community along the way.

🌿 Mindful Kids & Mindful Youth 🌿

The world our children are growing up in moves fast.

They’re constantly navigating school, friendships, social media, expectations, and the pressure to fit in. More than ever, they need tools to help them slow down, connect with themselves, and build confidence from the inside out.

This fall we’re excited to offer two 6-week series designed to help young people develop a stronger mind-body connection through yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, meditation, and the timeless wisdom of the eight limbs of yoga.

✨ Mindful Kids (Ages 6–10)
🕓 Wednesdays, 4:00 PM – 4:45 PM
👩‍🏫 With Ginette

✨ Mindful Youth (Ages 11–14)
🕔 Wednesdays, 5:00 PM – 5:45 PM
👨‍🏫 With Dan

📅 September 9 – October 14

Together we’ll explore movement, positive self-talk, resilience, acceptance, humility, community, and the practical life skills that help children and youth navigate life’s challenges with greater awareness and confidence.

💛 6-Week Series: $132 + GST
💛 Drop-In: $20 + GST (space permitting)

Spaces are limited to 16 students, with full-series registrations receiving priority.

Registration is now open through MindBody or our website Events page (link in bio).

Let’s help our kids grow into kind, confident, resilient humans, one breath at a time. 🌱💛

✨ Ecstatic Dance ✨

There are moments when words aren’t enough. When the body knows exactly what it needs to express.

Ecstatic Dance is an invitation to let go of self-consciousness, expectations, and the need to get it “right.” There are no steps to memorize, no choreography to follow, and no one watching.

Guided by an intentionally curated musical journey, you’ll be invited to move however your body wants to move, whether that’s flowing gently, stomping powerfully, swaying softly, or simply standing still. Every expression is welcome.

This is more than dancing, it’s a moving meditation. A chance to release stress, reconnect with yourself, awaken your creativity, and experience the joy that arises when you stop performing and start simply being.

✨ Ecstatic Dance with Ashley Penney
📅 Saturday, August 29
🕡 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
💛 $20 + GST

No dance experience required.
No judgment.
No expectations.

Just bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to move.

Register through MindBody or our website Events page (link in bio).

Let’s dance. 💛

🌬️ Breathwork - Pranayama 🌬️

Your breath has the power to take you somewhere your thinking mind cannot.

Join us for an evening of intentional breathing, carefully curated music, and a safe, supportive container where you can step beyond the noise of everyday life and into a deeper experience of yourself.

This practice has the potential to quiet the analytical mind, awaken the wisdom of the body, and create space for insight, release, and transformation. Every journey is unique. Some experience profound clarity. Some reconnect with joy. Some release emotions or old stories they’ve been carrying for years.

This is an invitation to breathe, surrender and discover what is waiting within.

Namaste 🙏

You’re not full. You’re cluttered.

There’s a difference.

Most of us don’t need more time. We need less noise.

We carry obligations that no longer belong to us. We replay conversations that are over. We say yes when we mean maybe, and maybe when we mean no. We spend so much energy managing expectations that we forget to ask ourselves a simple question.

What actually fills me up?

Summer has a way of exposing this.

The days are longer. The opportunities are endless. Suddenly there are patios, hikes, camping trips, markets, barbecues, birthdays, festivals, and a calendar that somehow becomes more exhausting than inspiring.

Then one day you realize you’ve been so busy trying to fit summer in that you never really experienced it.

Yoga has never been about adding more.

It’s about creating space.

Space to breathe.

Space to notice.

Space to hear yourself again.

Maybe this week the practice isn’t doing more.

Maybe it’s clearing away enough of the clutter that you finally have room for the things that make you feel most alive.

That paddleboard.
That trail.
That quiet evening.
That yoga class.

You don’t need another full calendar.

You need a little more space.

Namaste. 🙏
