| About the Class |
| In this class, Beth emphasizes alignment through exploration of movement. It’s a study of your own, individual anatomy first-hand through breath and movement. In the process you gain a deeper understanding of who you are both on and off a yoga mat. We will use props such as the blocks or a chair chairs, a strap/tie and a blanket to increase awareness and accessibility in poses. Whether you have had a little or a lot of yoga experience, this class is for you as I offer many variations and modifications. |
| More About Beth |
| Beth has been teaching movement to people since 1990 - then, in the form of aerobics. With a longing to know more about how the human body moves, she jumped (literally) into Ashtanga Yoga discovering a beautiful spiritually based system that incorporated flowing movement while honouring the gift of the breath. She explored Iyengar Yoga principles which places an emphasis on detail, precision and alignment. When Anusara Yoga was in its hay-day, she learned to combine alignment principles with a concept that we all flow with Grace. This took her to a deeper study of Tantric Yoga which offers that we are all perfect as we are and life is meant to be experienced - the good, the bad and the ugly. This is how we learn and grow. She has also studied Yoga Therapy extensively and worked with many people living with pain and suffering. They have shown her how important the practices of yoga can be for healing on a multitude of levels. (Read about why you might work 1.1 with her) |

Rock Snake
Meaford's Rock Snake winds along the Georgian Trail at the Montgomery Street entrance. After reading a book in class, local student Cleighton was inspired to start a rock snake, and it has been growing ever since! Now over 600 rocks long, We're hoping to get to 700 rocks for Canada Day! All you need to do is paint a rock of your own, and add to the snaking tail!
| Origin Story |
| In May Cleighton's Grade 1 Class from SVE read a story for "Mindfulnedd Monday." The story was called Emma's Gems. After reading the story the students were asked to paint rocks to represent things they thought were important, similar to the gems in the story. Cleighton's original 3 rocks were reminders to "Be Kind" "Share with others" and "Have Fun". Soon after the students shared eachother's rocks with the class, one of the students shared a news article about a huge rock snake a child had done. Cleighton thought it was a really cool idea. Days later he was still talking about it and thought it would be something for he and his friends to do during COIVD so he created one. His main goal was to see if people would even add to it. Each day it's been a surprise to see many rocks added. |
