Starting in January, OTM is leading a 200 hour RYTT. Spread over 6 months, and delivered in a small group setting, you’ll cover all the usual suspects; anatomy, history, and the energetic body, all taught through an On The Mat lens; mature, experienced, and authentic.

Starting Tuesday, November 10 at 6:30 pm, join Kristie for a 4 week series of classes dedicated to syncing with the cycles of the moon, and becoming more in touch with the natural cycles of the self.

Each 90 minute class will be themed to align with the lunar phases, and will begin and end with a sound bath. This is a small workshop format, and class size is limited to 12, so pre-registration is required.

Sitting with our feelings…it’s an advanced practice, and we don’t always get it right.

Avoiding feelings, eating them, or, better yet, projecting them, is what feels easiest. Sound familiar?

Join Kristie every Monday night at 6:30 pm for Meditation and Restoration. You’ll first soften the body with restorative yin postures, be guided into a 30 minute meditation, and finish with a full body relaxation exercise. You will gain both clarity, and space. It’s an excellent way to start your week.

This class is both physically challenging and a TON of fun. Class size is limited so that everyone has wall space, so pre-registration is highly suggested.

Are you curious about the structures of the lumbar spine?
Do you have a pesky low back "tweak" that comes and goes?

On October 3rd, join Jenn King for a 2 hour workshop that will inform you on how to proactively contribute to the strength, mobility, flexibility, and overall health of your lower back. This class will be a combination of theory and movement, and will highlight the importance of how the neighbouring structures in your body can best support one another as you move through your yoga practice and into the world.

Experience sound healing while enjoying your personalized yoga practice with hands-on assists.

On October 17, unroll your mat for a practice that you design, at your own pace, to fit how you feel, while receiving a beautiful ambient sound bath from local musical duo, Rezound.

OTM teachers will be available with optional hands-on support. Students are welcome to lay still in savassana, or move through quiet, self-directed postures based on what feels right in the moment.

We’ve heard you; You’ve finally gotten off the waitlist but 60 minutes isn’t enough time to get to class - ugh.

Our cancellation window is moving from 60 minutes, to a still EXTREMELY generous 120 minutes. It is always your responsibility to cancel (emails, texts and phone calls don’t count), and late cancellations result in a loss of class, or $10 charge for members.

Love you - we can do this.

Ever find yourself keeping score emotionally or energetically? Let’s chat about Aparigraha. It’s a concept in yoga where we practice non-greed, or freedom from attachment.

And yes, it can mean freedom from attachment to material objects, but it can also mean that we need to practice giving for the sake of giving…and not expecting anything in return; freedom from keeping score.
