With wildfires burning in the US and winds bringing heavy smoke to Vancouver Island, I may may need to cancel planed outdoor classes.
Please check back here before setting out for Sunday class. I am optimistic about being able to go ahead with class on Sunday Sept. 20th.
Indoor classes at the HUB @ Cowichan Station are securely underway and open to all.

Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms® and yogaAs far as I can tell, living one life involves dying and resurfacing many times. My collisions with hatha yoga (1999) and 5Rhythms movement (dance) meditation (2007) were re-birthing gateways in my life. The teachings never left my system. Embodied exploration has become my way to encounter life on its own terms. Supported by the structure, wisdom, and permission to be as I am, I keep learning to feel and take responsibility for my own breathing body, emotions, mental energy, and mysteries. These practices help me become aware of what's coming up at any moment, and invite it to breathe, move as needed, and become creative. They liberate me to pay attention and adjust my relating to the world. They're powerful tools we can put in our own hands in service of self-knowledge, well-being, and engagement with reality. That's what I seek to share in my classes and workshops. You don't need to feel strong or energetic to join. You don't need to be able to stand up to dance or do yoga. People of all cultures, colours, creeds, all genders and sexualities, all sizes, all abilities and life stages, and any health status are lovingly welcome. No one turned away for lack of funds: contact me here for information. If you're breathing, you've got all you need. *On children: weekly practice spaces include anyone 15 or older. I offer occasional all-ages dances and a weekly parent-and-baby yoga class. If you're looking for family-friendly class, let's talk. It's my honour to offer embodiment space to others. My purpose is to support and witness others’ movement adventures and spirit revolutions, in my home community and on the road. I invite you to join me. To inquire about a class or workshop, or just to connect, use this contact form. I'd be delighted to hear from you. I am privileged to work in the territory of the Quw'utsun Mutiimuhw - Cowichan Peoples - whose lands were wrongfully removed and colonized by Canada in a host of actions which have not been rectified. Cowichan Tribes, Halalt First Nation, Stz’uminus First Nation, Ts'uubaa-asatx First Nation, Lyackson First Nation, and Penelakut Tribe continue to negotiate in nation-to-nation talks with British Columbia and Canada as part of the Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group. All classes and workshops I hold acknowledge the rights of Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Metis, Inuit) and the deep, ongoing wound and injustice our communities must mend. All spaces I host support full decolonization of our society and reparations for the harms done.
