Hello:)  What a busy summer it has been! I can’t beleive the kids are off to school already.  I fell off my yoga wagon and have not yet hopped back on:(  However, the fall is a great time to make new goals!  This fall there are only 2 classes of Zumba booked for Thornhill and hopefully Groove will be added to the mix – desperate need of a babysitter for  that to happen.   Be on the lookout for a newsletter as that is on the list of business goals this fall as well.

Have a wonderful day:)

Ok, so I think a few posts didn’t get published….still getting used to blogging:) You may have noticed a jump from I think day 4 to day 9.  I have done a short meditation every day and I did do some lovely Yoga courtesy of Tiina Kivinen – Jai Maa Shakti Ma. That was on day 6. I have a weekend now with no children so lets see what I can accomplish!  It’s a busy weekend but I should be able to find the time to Yoga!

I have to admit, it was a struggle to even think about yoga on day 2 – I was downtown all day, with kids until 6 and then had to get ready to go back downtown (dinner at Spice Route and show at Second City).  I am tired today;) So, I did a few yoga stretches and some breathing/centering post bath and pre getting dressed.  Wasn’t a stellar effort, however I did do about 5 min worth.  today is Saturday and I am hoping to get a full flow in today. I can’t grab much time without kids hunting me down….but perhaps when they go to bed?  I do love doing a nice flow followed by a meditation before bed.  I have a little studio in my basement where i teach Zumba and it looks heavenly when I put the rope lighting on and do yoga by candlelight.  The kids and I are attending a South Asian festival this evening! Yum!

Ok, so I joined this 100 Days of Yoga Challenge on Facebook (my fav instructor joined so I figured I should too!) and since I have fallen off the Yoga bandwagon I figured it  was time to jump back on.  This group challenges you to include Yoga everyday for 100 days – no matter how much or how little.  So I thought I would blog about it!  So the first day:

 Day 1:  May 27th:  I did a set of basic sun salutations before my Thornhill Zumba class.  It was a nice, easy warm up and stretch, non commital.  5 min was all I did, but as I tell my own clients – just do a little something everyday that brings you towards your goals and don’t get caught up in what you should be doing, or how little you did.  I wonder what day 2 will bring?

Ladies!  Bellyfit is a hit!

If you haven’t tried it yet, get down to Yonge & Eglinto and join me for a fantastic class.  Check the class schedule and join in for this fusion fitness class that will leave you feeling like the goddess you are!

This class is a fusion of movements inspired by the science of Western fitness, the style and beauty of Cultural Dance and the power of spiritual practices & philosophies from the East.

In the first half hour of the class, burn calories, relieve stress and get the sweat flowing with fun, easy to learn cardio moves infused with the ancient and beautiful fundamentals of Belly Dance, Bollywood, Bhangra, African Dance and more.

During the second half of the class, enjoy sculpting, toning and tightening with Pilates inspired core work, a deep yet relaxing Yoga inspired stretch and mindful Mudra Meditation.

Coming soon! Bellyfit is a fitness fusion class inspired by belly dance, bhangra, bollywood, pilates, yoga and mudra meditation. Come out March 5th to a FREE class at Queen Elizabeth Public School – 7:15pm

Due to PA Days I have had to make a couple of adjustments to the schedule for this session:

November 20th has been rescheduled to NOVEMBER 27th

December 4th has been rescheduled to DECEMBER 11th

Hey there!  I just wanted to send a HUGE thank you to all who came out Friday night to my Peterborough class.  We raised $200 for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer:)  I had such a good time and really loved seeing new faces, familiar faces and faces I haven’t seen in ages!  Thanks again and stay tuned for information about the Valentines Fundraiser at the Junction in Feb.

Zumba Love!
