I ❤️❤️❤️this weekend workshop so much!!

It’s fun.
It’s challenging.
It’s comfort food for curious minds who like to move on yoga mats.
It’s all-inclusive and all-encompassing.






New to yoga or teaching it, this workshop connects you to your body, mat and community in the glorious mountains of Fernie in their full summertime magic.

Come play!
Curiously:)

Dm with questions or to register.

Welcome Home.

Into the Sanctuary you curate to create a space of compassion.
For yourself.

The container of this practice is designed to give you practical tools to help navigate the wild river of life that we all have to navigate.

Smooth or bumpy, this practice makes a difference.

Show up for yourself.
Curiously.
We start Monday.

Love,
Sam

For more than 3 years now I’ve offered Mindfulness practices online.

Like my asana practice and teaching that started with stringent training that evolved outside of the ‘institutional’ schools, these sessions are rooted in tradition woven into what I’ve found useful living a messy human life.

I’m not perfect.
I’m human.
These practices help me to do better at being human.
They can help you too.
It’s that simple.

This isn’t another thing to add to the list of things you’re supposed to do.
This is a practice where you build a tool box that’s with you and accessible at all times.

Breathe
Meditate
= a mindful practice that you take with you.

Build a Sanctuary where your own worst critic is tuned out and you dial into the frequency of your own best friend.

The one you can be completely honest with.
Not the one who lets you off the hook but knows you’re doing the best you can and cheerleads you on to better things or can rejoice in an accomplishment without feeling guilty.

The who meets you with compassion instead of judgement.
We’re not always that person for ourselves.
It can require a dedicated practice best served in a sanctuary of our own making.

Meet yourself as you are with curious compassion.

Come Practice!
Love,
Sam

The next 7-week session starts November 3

The 2 sessions of Mindfulness this fall will play with the concept of Sanctuary.

I LOVE this word!!
Creating a place of refuge or safety to come home to is important now more than ever.

Breathwork, pratyahara, and meditation techniques based on curious observation all help to create a sanctuary without judgement - one that welcomes you home as you are.

Practice this practice in the safety of your own home ‘live’ with me via zoom or access the videos on demand at any time until the 2nd Fall session starts on Nov 3rd.

Be Curious!
Love, sam

Plan D for the win!

We really did until we didn’t give up ;)
Matheson Falls ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the company and great driving.

This was my view at the end of Savasana today.

It almost surprised me.

Is easy to forget the little things that add up to magic.

At the edge of my mat you can see ’s book YOU BETTER BE LIGHTNING. I’ll be reading from it in this weekend’s workshop.

There’s still room if you want to join.

Don’t know me, or what I do in The studio? Give Andrea’s take on yoga https://andreagibson.substack.com/p/illness-and-the-myth-of-strength a read.
It’s my take too…

No spiritual by-passing here.
No, if you’re not getting it ‘right’ you’re doing it ‘wrong’.
No you just have to try harder.

As Andrea would say, sometimes ‘trying softer’ is the bravest thing we can do.

Come play.
Curiously.
Love,
Sam
Ps. Thanks for all you helped me unlearn.

Another paddle camping trip in the books with .ll

Lots of new road days and a sweet stay in Slocan to give us an early start.

Random Squamish/Nica encounter with Charlotte and Errol at the very-worth-stopping (2 can dine with drinks for what 1 can in Fernie. Just saying….)

is a GEM!! Slocan lake is warm and - where did all the people go?
Freaking paradise!

Maybe a north/south paddle next year Jay?
Speaking of .ll - thank you for being you and wanting to hang with your mama in the mild but very special back country with me.
Love you Scoob.

Inversions this Saturday!

We won’t be outside but is just as sweet and playful.

Getting upside down is OPTIONAL!
The prep that gets you there is not :)
And is just as important to the strong and mobile structure of your neck, shoulders, arms and wrists even if you never go upside down.

This playful workshop might just surprise and inspire you to explore the world from different angles.

Come Play!
This Saturday (bring all your long-week company - drop ins encourages!) 9:30am

❤️Sam
