Roll away your aches and pains with us next Wednesday, September 30 at 6:30pm

We will use the original TuneUp balls for an hour of self-massage that’s sure to leave you feeling less tension, soreness and more ease in your body.

No experience required. Class is available for drop in to the studio or to join us live online from wherever you are.

Of course, September 30 is also Truth and Reconciliation day here in Canada and a day that comes with added stress for many Indigenous people. If you identify as Indigenous, this class is free for you to join.

What spot in the body are you most wanting to work on?

Let’s talk about the food we eat on retreats

Your retreat with Bala includes all of your meals and non-alcoholic drinks.

Usually, that looks like coffee/tea, juice and light breakfast things like fruit, yogurt and muffins first thing before we practice.

After morning practice we have a full breakfast. Depending on the retreat centre, it can be a buffet, plated or family style meal.

Lunch is the least formal, but still delicious. The freshness of the ingredients is always a priority. The chefs at retreat centres pride themselves on their quality.

Dinner can be à la carte or a set menu, but there’s always lots of options for all diets.

It’s a balance of meals that are comforting and familiar to us and testing out the local flavours and cooking styles.

If you have a special diet or allergy, we can work with it. We often have a mix of vegans, gluten-free folks and those who want their meat and potatoes.

Our upcoming retreat in Belize, we’re looking forward to some of the local cuisine, which is heavily influenced by neighbouring Mexico.

One very delicious and authentic thing we have to try in Belize is a fry jack. Have you had one before?

There are still some rooms available to join us this January in Belize. Check out the info at www.livingbala.com/retreat or send a DM for more info

Align & Flow is a popular class here at Bala studio.

Align & Flow is a vinyasa practice. That means we move with the breath through a sequence of poses that is different each week.

Options are always given to make the practice more accessible or more challenging and you don’t need any experience to join us.

Build strength and endurance with this moving meditation. A challenging, fun and rewarding class

The fall session is about to start. Join us for a single drop in or the entire session.

One thing many people don’t expect from their first yoga retreat is the sense of community.

You arrive to find a group of people of all ages and backgrounds, but everyone is there for the same thing.

Through meals, classes, adventures and down time by the water, you get a chance to connect on a deeper level.

Life and spiritual experiences are shared. You’ll come away with new insights…and likely some good book and recipe recommendations too.

Everyone is welcome and included.

Lasting friendships are forged on retreat.

Join us January 6-12 on Caye Caulker, Belize

Shoot me a DM if you have questions. More info at livingbala.com/retreat or follow the link in bio

This is a super supportive and fun group.
