Have you heard of "Tech Neck"? Tech Neck occurs when the upper back and shoulders begin to round forward from the arms being in front of the body for long periods of time, typically when we're in front of our computers all day.

Lia here! I started making my own deodorant when I got pregnant and was looking to eliminate the toxins I was putting on my body in my personal care products. Five years and many iterations later, I finally have a cream deodorant formula that truly works, and is made up of 6 safe and natural ingredients.... My latest formula has a new ingredient: bentonite clay. This ingredient is a natural detoxifier, wicks away moisture, and makes the deodorant more effective at eliminating odor, all while thickening it up which makes it more stable in temperature fluctuations (i.e. it doesn't melt as quickly in the summer heat). This deodorant has a subtle gender neutral scent (peppermint and tea tree), which also makes it perfect for any man in your life. Pick up a jar next time you're in to the studio, or stop in next Saturday 11 am to 2 pm for a free sample! You can also order a jar and we'll deliver it right to your house (within Peterborough) for free at https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws .

Good morning friends! Steph R. here. This picture is from the first public yoga class that I ever taught, back in 2014. It was for a group of girls from Grades 5 to 8 at a school in Lindsay. There was a lot of giggling and being silly during most of the class, but the part I remember the most was how some of the most "giggly" girls were the ones who relaxed the deepest during savasana. You could see the tension melting away; how healing the stillness was for them.... Just like grown-ups, kids can benefit tremendously from a regular yoga practice (or even from knowing some of the "tools" that yoga teaches, such as breathing and mindfulness techniques). While we don't currently have specific classes for children, older children (e.g. 12+) often attend our classes with their parent, and are very welcome! You can also follow Tree Song Yoga (https://www.facebook.com/Tree-Song-Yoga-490607117740806) and Lavender and Play (https://www.facebook.com/lavenderandplay) who often offer children's yoga services in Peterborough!

Have you tried our new Animal Flow class? Get a great workout while you play! Animal Flow is a fun, ground-based movement system that requires only the weight of your own body to perform.... Animal Flow draws on human biomechanics and the primal movements of animals in nature to craft a series of highly functional movements for the body. The fluid movements within Animal Flow help build strength, mobility, endurance and control. Come join us! Thursdays 7:30 to 8:30 pm - there is space in tonight's class. Class is limited to 5 participants to ensure social distancing. Book your class at www.willowpeterborough.com/classes . https://youtu.be/zrZ67vfAaB8

Good morning! There's still room in Rise & Shine Yoga with Tracy at 10 am - pop over to our website to book your spot! (or through link in bio on Instagram). Kick start a great weekend with flowing vinyasas, a bit of strength work, and a great stretch. Expect mild to moderate intensity.... Walk out of class feeling limber, calm, centered and ready for the weekend! Beginners welcome. Some mobility is required, including the ability to be down on the hands and knees.

For the first time ever, we now have branded Willow t-shirts available for purchase! (and they're really pretty...) Choose from two designs: - The Willow Studio logo; or - Inhale/Exhale design with Willow emblem.... Plus, choose between two shirt options: - white crew neck in 100% ringspung cotton; or - teal v-neck in 65/35 polyester/cotton. Please note that the white crew-neck fits quite a bit smaller than expected - you'll want to go up one or two sizes from what you normally wear. It's a thicker cotton, so as long as you choose a size that's not too fitted, it's not see-through like some white t-shirts can be. The teal shirt is more lightweight and is super soft. Women's sizes XS to XL available. Bonnie (purple tights) is wearing an XS in both styles. Bonnie is 5'. Jane (grey tights, dark hair) is wearing a M in teal and a L in white. Jane is 5'11". Kelly (blonde hair) is wearing a M in teal and L in white. Kelly is 5"6". $25 + HST. Pick up your shirt next time you're at the studio - we can charge your credit card on file, or take eTransfer, cash or cheque. Online ordering with free in-town delivery will be up and running later next week. Thanks to @niteowlcre8ive for design, and @fullypromotedptbo for printing!

If you haven't been to Willow in a while, we’ve changed the way you sign up for classes to give you ultimate flexibility over your schedule! Instead of pre-registered sets of classes, we now offer Class Packs. Purchase a pack of 5, 10 or 20 classes and mix and match between any classes on the schedule to design your ideal practice. All packs expire 3 months after the date of purchase.... The 5-Class Pack is ideal for someone with a busy lifestyle - maybe you have a gym membership somewhere else but you still want to treat yourself to an occasional Willow class. The 10-Class Pack is designed for those clients building a more steady practice at Willow - e.g. one class per week. The 20-Class Pack is our best value per class, and for our most loyal clients who show up two or three times a week. Pick up your Pack here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws
