“Not Doing” is a Skill Worth Practicing
In a recent intention-setting discussion in our teacher training program for 2025, I reflected on a pattern that I feel present both personally, and with the yoga community I work with (aka, you!). As a chronic “doer”, it takes more than a bit of convincing for me to take a break and relax. However, this year, I’ve resolved to understand and practice the skill of “not doing”. Here, I want to share some insights into how non-conscious, small acts of chronic doing-ness can add up to deep-seated patterns, which can shape the course of our mental, emotional and physical lives; […]
Ambivalence and Purpose: A Remembrance Day Reflection
On Remembrance Day, when I reflect on wars past and present, feelings of sadness for the loss of life and compassion for those who endured (and enduring) the hardships of war arise. I’m from one of the fortunate generations in Canada who have to use empathy and imagination to experience what it’s like, and I try not to take this for granted. But alongside this sorrow, there’s a quiet, almost paradoxical longing for something deeper in that experience, something I can’t easily name. My mother was born during the Great Depression and was a school-age child through World War II. […]
How much should you listen to your yoga teacher?
Yoga teachers are seasoned guides in mindful movement and safe alignment and have your best interests at heart. But let’s be honest—sometimes all those cues can feel like a mental juggling act. So, how do you balance listening and staying present with your practice? Here are a few strategies and points to ponder: The teacher’s cues can help streamline your attention. You may have heard of a resting-state network of the brain called the default mode network. It’s characterized by your inner commentary, while your mind wanders away from present-moment sensations and tasks. Though this state of mind serves a purpose in imagination, memory […]
Mindful Movement vs. the Harmonics of Habit
You and I are amazing creatures, capable of learning a seemingly endless amount of patterns (ideas, skills, facts) to help us navigate our worlds more effortlessly and safely. Our movement patterns, held in what’s called “procedural memory,” are characterized by an ideal tempo—a cadence by which our motions unfold with the least amount of mental and physical energy. To step your foot forward, to reach your arm overhead, to walk—these are movements that each have their fundamental frequency. The rhythm is so familiar that the experience of movement can exist in the background while we carry on with other tasks. […]
Kushala sparked a small healing amber in my life 10 years ago. It has grown to a steady flame, gently nurtured at Kushala Yoga by a wonderful, dedicated community of teachers, mentors and fellow participants. I step from the outer world to my inner sanctuary when I come to my mat at Kushala.

Every day I give thanks to be living my truth and I am so grateful to be a practitioner at Kushala; a safe place to learn, practice, and grow. I have found balance and a second home where I can be my true self. I breathe, I move, I feel, I am free.

- I have been a member of Kushala yoga for over 5 years. I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with classes taught by Chris, Karen, Rachel and most currently Islena.My husband has also taken part in Chris’ Yin class and most currently his Healthy Hips and Back class. He and I thoroughly enjoy Chris’s attentiveness and sense of humour.The instructors are all supportive, and allow you to feel comfortable with your own practice.I find Karen and Islena’s Therapeutic Yoga class to be a perfect fit me right now, at an age of 68. Their instructions are extremely clear and focus on the overall wellness of ones body.- Colleen & Fred B
The first time I entered Kushala, it felt like I was at home. I was looking for a yoga studio with an inviting lobby - a place to enjoy tea before or after a class - and Kushala has just that. For me, yoga unites the mind, body and spirit. This is a value shared by Kushala. (more…)

With the diversified class schedule, I can find the class and time for my particular needs. Each instructor is professional and brings his/her own flavour and personality to his/her classes. Also, I'm always eager to read about the latest offerings of workshops and events as I enjoy expanding my knowledge and ability base.
Elaine, a 10 year member
I have been participating in classes at Kushala Yoga for over six years. Karen and Chris keep things fresh with an array of classes to accommodate rank beginners as well as those who want a more challenging workout. Workshops scattered throughout the year provide interesting information on health and well-being. The instructors are well-qualified and caring. I highly recommend the studio.
Christine
Free time is a rare commodity for working moms so when we have it, we make it count. Kushala Yoga classes are time well spent. They help me calm down after a busy day at the office or a crazy day at home. Practicing of self care and mindfulness allows me to give more back to my family and career. I highly recommend it.

Kushala Yoga provides me with the tools and experiences for my personal growth while enjoying a community of wonderful people. The exceptional teachers plus the breadth and frequency of classes regularly gives me a quality experience with others while learning "my way". Kushala’s efforts towards a more peaceful and caring world is genuine and felt in every class.
