“To fight depression - Try Yoga once a week. Women between ages 45 and 64 have an increased risk of depression, according to John Hopkins Medicine, one of the leading healthcare systems in the United States.

Though any form of exercise can help stave off anxiety and depression, a growing body of research shows yoga may be particularly beneficial for reducing stress and regulating mood. One study found that yoga increases levels of GABA, a mood-regulating neurotransmitter that's typically deficient in those with depression and anxiety. Another study found that women suffering from mental distress were less stressed after participating in a three-month yoga class.” The whole article is posted below:

For the safety and healthy of all concerned, all Barre & Yoga classes at the studio have been cancelled and we will plan to resume as of Tuesday April 7th.

If you are a yoga student Barb Leese Smith has an option for you-

Hi everyone,
What times we are living through. I was hoping to ride these next few weeks out safely and within a small bubble of society, but after learning of the exponential nature of this virus, I realize that it is not possible to keep classes going in person. Knowing though how much we need to keep our yoga going through this period, I have decided to try some live classes online through Google Hangout or Zoom. I will be sending out another email with an invite to join on Tuesday and Thursday nights just as we have been doing. All you will need is your computer/phone to accept the invite and have your mat and a bit of space. My Tuesday Noon people, I will send out an invite as well for tomorrow at noon and see what happens. I think I will send invite to all for all 3 classes and you can decide.
We will use an honour system for payment- if you would just click or cross out your class pass card for now.
I think it might be quite an interesting experience for all of us to stay connected in these next few weeks of social isolating.
We will navigate these times together back to where all is well again.
Please be in touch with any questions or suggestions.
Keep well
ox B
