Unsticking What’s Stuck In Practice | Upcoming

Did you know you have a built-in drainage system responsible for your daily energy, mental clarity, and immune health?

It’s your lymphatic system. Think of it as your body's cellular filtration network—and a foundational branch of your immune defense.

When fluid circulation becomes stagnant, cellular waste and debris get trapped in your tissues, creating chronic, silent inflammation.

For women in midlife, this is a major tipping point. Chronic inflammation can confuse a highly sensitive immune system, causing it to misfire and attack its own healthy tissues—a major root trigger for autoimmune conditions.

If you have been feeling heavy, sluggish, dealing with stubborn brain fog, or navigating autoimmune flare-ups, your body is asking for a reset.

Join Arlene this Saturday, Aug 22, for an empowering, hands-on workshop.

Learn simple, everyday practices—including gentle movement and self-massage—designed to revitalize your system, encourage healthy flow, and help you feel instantly lighter.

Spaces are limited! $40 standard or $32 for Stream members (HST included)

If your mind is always trying to fix, plan, anticipate and manage what happens next, this is for you.

Join us this Sunday morning for Breathing Like a Buddha — a relaxed morning exploring what happens when we loosen our need to control things and invite more ease into our lives.

We’ll begin with brief, gentle movement to arrive in the body, before shifting into guided breath meditation, followed by a Dharma teaching, discussion, and reflection.

We’ll explore the difference between holding ourselves together and allowing ourselves to be held—noticing the subtle ways we manage experience by tightening, reaching, resisting, or trying to make something happen, and experimenting instead with softening, giving space, and letting the body and breath find their own ease.

Sunday at 10am ET (Toronto/NY)
In person at the studio or online over Zoom.
