intenSATI practice for November 2020

Welcome to your November intenSati series!

I am teaching intenSATI every Tuesday 6-7 pm in-person at my Roblin location inside the The Yoga Barre and on ZOOM every Thursday 11 am.

“Inten” is from intention and “sati” is the Pali word for mindfulness.It is a fun movement class, using some cardio, yoga, stretches and meditation, all with affirmations and fun music. You can even do it sitting in a chair.

This month’s series is about using the power of our thoughts and words to shape the life we want to live by flipping the script from fear to faith, from whining to wisdom, from worry to wisdom. I think the word “faith” can be a trigger word, as can the word “spiritual”, so you are welcome to add religious values to those meanings if it serves you. Faith is meant here as trusting your deepest connection to yourself and faith about the goodness of our world, about it all working out, not by chance but by choice!

Tony Robbins says, “it’s not your capacity, but your state, that determines your success” and it’s the reminder that the future we are imagining is giving us our state today. So, if we want a more prosperous, confident, alive state, we must first examine the language we are using in both our thoughts and our words.

Language shapes our life and we want to learn to flip the script from fear to faith. And that starts by choosing faith, affirming faith and taking actions from a faith-inspired state.

In this month’s intenSati, you’ll find a fun, cardio series that will help you reframe your challenges so that you can move from fear to faith. You’ll also find some challenging add-on’s to take your class to the next level, allowing you to find your edge. Additionally, there’s a lower body stretching sequence and closing meditation that will help seal all of this month’s work in.

Let’s exercise our power this month to choose what we think, say and do so that we can align with our purpose and passion. Join me to dance your crazies out and feel your happy inside! Text to register 204.999.9984.

ELDOA CLASSES every Tuesday 5-6 pm Nov 3-24, 2020 @ our Roblin location

ELDOA is a revolutionary stretching and strengthening technique for the spine and joints of the body. These exercises create space between every level of your spine, your hips and shoulders, to alleviate back pain and improve your overall posture.

Created by world-renowned Osteopath, Guy VOYER, DO, who founded the Montreal School of Osteopathy, the ELDOAs were created to target every level of your spine to create space and normalize the tension around each vertebrae. The result is postural normalization and a renewed strength and balance throughout your body.

The Benefits of ELDOA

ELDOA connects your body, mind and spirit through a series of techniques designed to have a calming effect on the nervous system.

When we stretch the fascia that surrounds all the muscles, organs and nerves in our body restrictions are freed and a calm, balanced feeling takes over. You feel revitalized with more energy, and your body feels aligned with a cleansing feeling in your deep body tissue.

You will find that this profound experience is a way of life – and not just an exercise method. Perhaps you’ll see it as meditation for your spine (especially if you can’t sit still). Within the action of an ELDOA you will find stillness – it’s profound and gets into every fibre in your body.

This month, the theme is Hacking into your old Habits. ELDOA is a profound stretching habit that will save you unnecessary pain, aches and discomfort so you enjoy your movement and performance, be it sitting at a desk, yoga or skiiing. An ELDOA stretching routine reduces the negative effects of the postural bad habits we do to our bodies.
