Hello 2021!

New Year’s Eve brings about a time of reflection, self-care and letting go of the old. Love what comes, love what goes. Peaceful goodbyes to 2020 and blissful welcomes to 2021.... Happy New Year! Joanne x om www.bigstretchyoga.com

Without the gentle vocal nudge of your friendly neighbourhood yoga instructor, or the soft ring of the prayer bells signifying the end of savasana, do you ever wake up after your home yoga practice, 2 hours later, with drool on your face and maybe the family pet laying on top of you and wonder to yourself where you are and how long you’ve been there and what day it is? ...... #bigstretchyoga #torontoyoga #torontolife #cbcyourgta #leasideyogis #hyggeyoga #sweetsavasana #restorativeyoga #torontotogether #leasidelife #broadviewyoga #yogalove #yogaliveshere #torontolifestyle #canadianyogini #savasana #savasanaeverydamnday #riversidetoronto #wellnesstoronto #chinatowneast #corpsepose #torontomeditation #eastyork #cabbagetown #riverdaleto #leslieville #torontoyogastudio #eastendtorontorocks #torontoyogini #loleambassador

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. JOHN MUIR Are you taking some time out for yourself to be with nature? Malasana Pose

Happy Winter Solstice friends! We've hit the jackpot this December with the Christmas Star showing itself tonight as well as meteor showers and shooting stars.... https://www.forbes.com//how-when-and-where-you-can-see-c/

NEW FREE YOGA VIDEO! Endless hours at your desk, pounding the keyboard, lengthy Zoom calls, slouching over your phone for hours these all take a toll on your mind and body. While I originally designed this short and sweet yoga snack video entitled SEATED STRETCH to be done at your desk, it is also perfect for a quick break if you don't have the time to get away from the office or out to exercise, you don’t have the space in your home for a more traditional yoga practice, y...ou are more comfortable in a chair, or, if you have become a permanent fixture on the couch these days you can just stay right there and get your stretch on! That is the beauty of the art and science of yoga, it is very flexible. What else would you expect? You can find my new Free Yoga Snack Video on our YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/bigstretchyogaonline If you are enjoying our free on-line classes and are in the position to do so, I would be very grateful if you could kindly drop your gift of a donation into our virtual Tip Jar to show your appreciation. You can do that by sending an interac e-transfer to [email protected]. Thank you so much to so many of you for your kind words, encouragement and support. Joy, love and laughter to you all.
