Connect with your horse on a deeper level

This event was so much fun... thank you to everyone who took part! Hope to see you again soon...
On March 10th at 6pm. Louise will be hosting a fun and interactive gathering at Ottawa's Greenhawk Store (Slack Rd. Nepean). The event is open to all who are interested in being stronger and more flexible in body and mind. This event is going to change the way you relate to your horse. You will learn some key movements to stretch and strengthen those parts of the body that get stiff and weak when you spend hours in the saddle (or sitting at a desk). For more info go to... http://www.greenhawk.net/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/scstore/upcoming_events.html?E+scstore

It's time to take an active role in your health and this is the perfect time of year to experience this workshop! It is this time of year that the winter season seems never ending. Certain factors that go along with living in a colder climate such as lack of sunlight, being stuck indoors, poor selection of fresh foods, etc. can take its toll on the energy levels of the body as well as our mental state. Join Louise as she shares with you some useful yoga mind and body techniques to help you cope with life's stresses. Challenges that affect everyone will be covered including; depressed mood, insomnia, anxiety and restlessness, sluggishness, poor/excessive appetite and digestive upset, hormone and metabolism regulation, poor immunity.

See you there!
Louise

Corporate Yoga Classes

Corporate Yoga Classes are becoming increasingly popular here in Ottawa. People in the government and private sector alike are taking the initiative to organize weekly yoga classes at their workplace and the benefits are immediate! My corporate students always comment on how energized and refreshed, yet calm they feel after a class.

Here's how it works.... we organize a group of 10 to 50 people in a corporate department or building who are interested in participating in a weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) yoga class. The cost per individual depends on the amount of people that participate. A location for the class is then designated. Some businesses have their own, or have access to, a fitness facility within or nearby their building, serving as a convenient locale for the class. However, often enough corporate yoga classes take place in a board or meeting room after tables and chairs have been pushed aside!

I strongly believe this yoga practice will be an integral part of reshaping the corporate world and it's my privilege to offer the practice and benefits of yoga to people who spend so much time sitting at a desk. Check out the "Here's what people are saying..." section below for some testimonials and feel free to contact me for further information at 613-889-2386.
