1. Anti-Spam Legislation:

Canada's new Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) came into effect on July 1, 2014, and requires that you provide your consent to receive any electronic communications. I greatly value our relationship and would like to continue providing relevant information such as upcoming classes, workshops and more! Yoga with Kerry acquired your email address from the sign-in sheet you signed which is considered “implied consent” (according to CASL). However, I deeply respect your privacy and do not want my emails to be a nuisance to you in your inbox. At any time you would like to have your email address removed from my list, please simply reply to this email with the Subject line: Unsubscribe and I will immediately remove your name from the list. Thank you so much for your cooperation as we all navigate this new and hopefully helpful legislation.

 

2. New Yoga Teacher

Please welcome Marnie Laser to the Yoga with Kerry team. Marnie has been recently trained in the 200hour Yoga Teachers Training at SOYA. As well, Marnie has been a long time student of Kerry’s classes and has extensive background teaching Kinesiology and is therefore well versed in her knowledge and application of anatomy/physiology and alignment. Marnie will be teaching 2 classes: Wednesday Lunch Yoga and Thursday Gentle Yoga. Marnie is looking forward to meeting you and is busy preparing her amazing lesson plans for interesting and diverse yoga classes!

 

3. Group Yoga Classes begin: September 15^th

All group yoga classes begin the week of September 15^th and are held at the KP Hall in Trail. Community Classes Include; Gentle Yoga (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) and Flow Yoga (Wednesday). These classes are open to everyone; all levels and drop-in’s are always welcome. These classes are great for the student who needs some flexibility in their schedule, who likes to try different classes and teachers and who likes to have a regular, ongoing class. Please note: Punch passes are good for ALL the community classes.

Drop-ins: $12

10x Punch Pass: $105

4. Registered Yoga Classes begin: September 29^th

Registered classes are a great way to commit to yourself and your Yoga practice. It is always difficult with full schedules to make time for ourselves, and sometimes in our busyness we even put ourselves and our well-being last on the list. By committing to a registered Yoga class you are essentially committing to your own health and wellbeing and making yourself a priority!

**Please register for your class online www.kerryyoga.com (under the schedule page) using the link on the top right hand corner. The link will guide you through and includes an option to pay for your class. Once you register you will receive a confirmation email as well as a reminder email closer to the start of class. This is a new software program, so please bear with me as we embark on this new, and hopefully efficient method for registration!

**Classes need a minimum registered for them to run, so please register early! Thank you

1. Yoga for Stress Management: Sunday October 19^th 3-6pm   $60

We all experience some levels of stress in our lives, there is the "good" stress which helps us get up in the day and get moving, then there is the harmful stress. When we live chronically in this state of heightened chronic, harmful stress it can have negative effects on our body and minds. Everyone manifests stress differently and can show itself as digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, inflammatory disorders, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings, insomnia, migraine headaches, poorly functioning immune system, headaches, food/sugar/caffeine/alcohol cravings/addictions, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, and other stress-related (psychosomatic) disorders.  Yoga for Stress Management is a workshop using Therapeutic Yoga principles such as; calming breathwork, hand mudra's, Yoga Nidra, body/mind awareness scans, gentle movement, restorative yoga, meditation and deep relaxation.  The ancient practice of yoga empowers us with practical and life changing tools to help us become aware of our triggers and stress responses and make conscious choices to reduce our stress levels and help change and reverse the negative chain reaction that stress has on our bodies and mind.  Join me for an informative and empowering afternoon of therapeutic yoga designed to give you the tools for reducing stress and helping you live optimally in your life. 

**For everyone, no previous Yoga experience necessary

 

2. Yoga for Chronic Pain

Session #1: Lower Body and Pelvis   Sunday November 16^th 3-6pm  $60

Session #2: Spine and Upper Body    Sunday November 23^rd 3-6pm  $60

Yoga for pain management is for anyone dealing with chronic pain from injury, misalignments in the body, car accidents, inflammatory issues, postural related problems, compressions, soft tissue injuries, tension related headaches or migraines, sciatica, SI joint problems, plantar fasciitis, instabilities in the spine due to pregnancy, or injury or chronic misuse and any other type of chronic pain that is limiting your functional movement and ability to thrive in your life. Yoga for pain management is a systematic and therapeutic approach that can be used to help reduce pain, and empower you to help prevent pain from re-occurring. The tools used are simplistic but require some practice and motivation to implement the techniques into your lifestyle and make the changes necessary to help you get out of pain. The tools include; relaxation techniques, postural alignment work (functional movement), strengthening and stabilizing weak muscles and joints, and then stretching and releasing overly tight muscles. This series will use these 4 techniques to first explore the lower body mechanics in the feet, ankle, knees and pelvis. The second workshop will include the back, shoulders and neck. The principles are the same and they will build from one workshop to the next. As well, we’ll explore holistically connecting the upper and lower body by looking at upper and lower cross syndrome and learning how the body is interconnected, meaning that if you feel pain in the back, there could be something happening at the pelvis that may be aggravating the back.

**For everyone, no previous yoga experience necessary
