Hatha (first Thursday), Vinyasa (second Thursday), Power (third Thursday), Restorative (fourth Thursday)

Happy summer friends,

I'm hosting a virtual retreat from home beginning tomorrow and running for 5 mornings (July 2 - 8th, no weekend classes). Classes are live at 6:30 am PST daily and also recorded for those who can't make the classes live.

Each class will begin with a 12 minute compassion meditation, followed by gentle joint movement, core integration and breathing practices to balance the vitality of summer with a deep presence. We will slow down enough to let moments feel like an eternity.

come as you are, retreat is shared by donation.
RSVP via the link below.

love Sarah

He is here in Squamish, sharing his incredible depth of knowledge in movement and manual therapy in early May.

1) Headaches & Jaw Clenching: Manual Release Workshop
May 8 @ 6-8pm at The Yoga Studio Squamish
If you have tension headaches, headaches that follow stressful moments, or if you clench your jaw at night, this workshop will introduce techniques for rapid relief that you can later use as a strategy for long-term management.

2) Rotator Cuff Therapy: Manual Release Workshop
May 9 @ 2-4pm at Wild Life Gym
Rotator cuff “stuff” is one of the most common sources of injury or discomfort. This workshop will give you an approach to shoulder maintenance you can keep coming back to, using tools to uncover hidden zones of tension and tissue disorganization that would otherwise hold back your training gains and reduce range of motion.

3) Buttery Hips: Manual Release Workshop
May 10 @ 4-6pm at The Yoga Studio Squamish
When was the last time your hips moved freely and easily? If you’re always feeling like they could use a spray of WD40, the manual release work that I’ll guide you through over 2 hours will give you the relief you've been craving.
https://navina.ca/.../buttery-hips-manual-release-workshop/

All of the above workshops will use a RAD roller ball as the primary tool—yours to take home afterward so you can continue to apply what you learned.

PLUS,
For the most thorough, therapeutic massage you've ever had, you can also book a treatment with Drew.

Enjoy either a 90 min or 120 min session. The investment for these is $130+tax and $165+tax, respectively (if you pay in cash, leave off the tax). He's taking bookings from April 29-May 14th, and it will fill up quickly. To inquire about availability and book in, email him directly at [email protected].

New session starting May 6th!
Due to the size of the waitlist from the last session, I have decided to offer another Hip Health, Strength & Mobility series next month.
There are a few extra spots to join us!

**********

Yoga for Hip Health, Strength and Mobility

We rely on our hips to support us in nearly everything we do but we don’t always support them very well. Stretching them when they feel tight doesn’t always help for long and isn’t necessarily what they really need.

This session will give you a better understanding of WHY things get tight in the first place, what you can do yourself to ease that discomfort and some new tools to help your hips feel happier and more flexible.

Session starts May 6, 2026.

Wednesday evenings from 7:15 – 8:30 pm
at The Yoga Studio Squamish (37776 2nd Ave)
Dates: May 6 – June 10
Cost: $120 for 6 week class series. Registration required.
