The Calm Space

Nurtured Beginnings: A Prenatal Yoga and Birth Prep series begins September 15, Tuesdays from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, with Erica Robbins, a trained doula. 🌿

This series offers a supportive space to connect with other pregnant people while preparing your body, mind, and nervous system for birth and early parenthood. Each class begins with a short educational conversation on a specific birth-related topic, followed by a 60-minute prenatal yoga practice, and ends with a guided relaxation and visualization. Stay after for tea, questions, and reflection.

Suitable for all bodies and all stages of pregnancy, including those with no prior yoga experience. We'll focus on functional, pregnancy-safe strengthening of the core and pelvic floor, work with your breath to regulate your nervous system, and support your emotional transition into parenthood.

Weekly topics include pelvic anatomy and baby positioning, the stages of labour, the fear-tension-pain cycle, breathing techniques for labour, birth positions, and planning for postpartum.

Runs 4 weeks ($100+HST) or 6 weeks ($150+HST). Purchases are non-refundable.

Back to Body: Postnatal Yoga with Baby 💜

A six-week series begins September 14, Mondays at 12:00 pm, with Erica Robbins, postpartum doula and yoga instructor.

Get to know your postpartum body and connect with your breath in a baby-friendly class with other new parents, moving, breathing, and practicing self-care, all while keeping your baby close. We'll focus on breathing and functional movement for the core and pelvic floor, supportive for diastasis recti, bladder leaks, prolapse, and other common postpartum issues, and help prepare your body to safely return to other movement practices.

Beginner-friendly, with variations for all bodies and fitness levels. Designed for the birthing person's postpartum body (6 weeks postpartum, or in consultation with your care provider), but all parents and all babies are welcome.

Bring a blanket or play mat for baby, plus anything else you need. This class may not be the quietest, but it will definitely be the cutest.

$150+HST for the six-week session. No class on Thanksgiving Monday, October 14. Purchases are non-refundable.

Where yoga meets massage, yogassage is your invitation to slow down, on purpose.

Join Yellow for this unique mind-body class, blending gentle yoga movements, mindful breathing, assisted stretches, and therapeutic massage techniques. It's designed to release tension, improve mobility, and encourage deep relaxation, giving you space to reconnect with your body and simply rest.

Yogassage incorporates intentional, supportive touch to enhance relaxation and body awareness. All touch is optional and entirely guided by you: before any hands-on support, you'll be invited to share your consent and preferences, and you're always welcome to decline, ask for a different approach, or change your mind at any time.

Wear something you feel comfortable lying down and receiving hands-on support in.

Join us Sunday, September 13, October 4, or November 1, at 7:00 PM. 60 minutes of tension release, one session at a time.

Slow Down to Move Better: a six-week yin yoga series begins September 14, Mondays at 5:30, with yoga instructor Yellow Martin.

In a world that encourages us to keep moving, yin yoga offers the opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Each week, we'll explore a different focus and theme, gently targeting the body's connective tissues, joints, and fascia to encourage healthy movement and lasting relaxation.

Along the way, you'll learn breathing techniques and mindfulness practices to support your well-being, both on and off the mat.

This series is entirely floor-based: long-held, supported postures to release tension and support the nervous system. No standing postures, no weight-bearing balances; just permission to slow down. No experience or flexibility required, whether you're new to yoga or deepening an existing practice.

Before the week gets away from you...

Not everything has to be a big transformation. Sometimes it's just showing up, stepping slightly outside what feels easy, or letting a treatment be the soft part of your week instead of one more thing on the list.

Save this for the next time you need the reminder 🤍
