Here's what "listening to your body" actually looks like...
✨ Sitting down on the couch halfway through doing the dishes because your back is aching... even though your mind says, "Just finish up first"
✨ Cancelling the plans that have your gut in a knot... even though your mind says "But they've never done anything wrong. They're nice. You should go"
✨ Actually doing the yoga practice you've been meaning to do because your shoulders and hips feel like uncooked spaghetti... even though your mind says, "I'll do it before bed" (Knowing full well you're usually too exhausted by then)
✨ Climbing into a warm bath at 6pm because your body is asking for rest... even though your mind says "You should finish cutting the grass first"
✨ Letting yourself cry because you can feel the emotion sitting in your throat... even though your mind says "Get it together"
✨ Asking for help because your shoulders feel like they're carrying the weight of the world... even though your mind says "You should be able to handle this yourself"
For years, I dismissed my body's cues. And I'm still working to unravel these temptations of the mind.
I pushed past its limits because I believed productivity mattered more than nourishment. Rest felt like something I had to earn.
Anyone else relate? What story does your mind say?👇🏼
One of the greatest gifts yoga has given me isn't just strength or flexibility. It's helping me reconnect with my body and learn its language again. Which happens when you catch yourself in the old pattern just five seconds sooner than you did yesterday... and choose differently.
The difference can be pausing for 1 breath to check in and respond to what your body is asking for instead of automatically pushing through.
Then you do it again and again.
Every one of those tiny moments strengthens new neural pathways. Over time, listening to your body becomes your default because you've literally trained your brain to respond in a new way.
If you'd like to reconnect with your body, learn its language, and simply feel better in your own meat suit, I'd love to have you join my summer yoga classes! ☀️ (More in comments)

✨ ONLINE YOGA IS COMING BAAAAACK... and it's new and improved. ✨
Yoga has been such an integral part of my own healing journey. And not because I can touch my toes or hold fancy poses, but because it has given me a space to slow down long enough to actually pay attention to myself.
To notice how my body feels, to notice if and how I'm breathing, to create space in tight muscles, to feel emotions, to check in with myself rather than just pushing through.
This is the energy I love to teach from.
Beginning this summer and continuing into the fall, Mindful Movement Monday is evolving to better support real life.
✨ Most classes will now be just 30 minutes long.
🌑 Once each month, we'll gather for a special 50-minute New Moon or Full Moon practice.
✨ You'll know exactly what you're signing up for in advance, with class themes and styles released ahead of time.
Expect a blend of:
🤍 Gentle & Grounding practices
🔥 Flow & Energize Vinyasa classes
🌙 Yin & Deep Rest experiences
Music will continue to be a huge part of these classes because I truly believe it has the power to help us soften, move, breathe, and connect more deeply with ourselves, so I give you a playlist every class.
We'll begin with two special summer practices:
🌑 Planting Seeds - July 13
A New Moon Gentle & Grounding practice to pause, reconnect, and create space for what you wish to call into your life.
🌕 Harvest & Release - August 24
A Full Moon Yin & Deep Rest practice to honour what has grown and release what you're ready to.
Weekly classes return in September, and I've attached the September + October schedule so you can see what's coming and choose the classes that call to you.
Can't make it live?
No problem. Every class includes a replay, so you can practice whenever it works for your life.
I'd love to have you join us. 🤍

3 years ago today, I won a radio competition to sing on stage with Nickelback at their sold out show in Saskatoon in front of 15,000 people.
Now about 8 years ago I decided to start doing a lot of things that scared me. I found that there's so much more to life beyond our fears, and beyond what the mind says we can do.
When I won the competition, I had this random thought - "I should ask if I can play their drums".
And immediately followed that thought with what?!? No!!!
No you can't do that. What are you, a show off? What if they say no? Who do you think you are?
What if you f**k up and humiliate yourself in front of 15,000 people?
What if you can't reach his pedals???
What if they think you suck and so does everyone else?
I had a lot of reasons to not do it. But 1 thought said...
"But what if it's one of the coolest moments of your life?"
I followed that one. 🫣🫣🫣
Fast forward (or watch) til 1:04 and see it coming to fruition!!!!

Ben and I don’t have the relationship we have because we got lucky.
And I don’t think it’s just because we’re “soulmates” either.
We have the relationship we have because we’ve both been willing to look at ourselves.
To look at our triggers.
Our boundaries.
Our projections.
The ways we hide.
The ways we self-sabotage.
The ways we make assumptions.
Like saying “it’s fine” when it’s absolutely not fine.
Believing “they don’t care” when maybe they’re overwhelmed, tired, or don’t actually know what we need.
Saying “I don’t know” when we actually do know… but saying it out loud feels too vulnerable.
Becoming overly independent and convincing ourselves we don’t need anything from anyone.
Starting a fight when things are actually going well because calm feels unfamiliar.
We have had to learn how to have hard conversations.
How to call ourselves out.
How to lovingly call each other out.
How to repair when one of us gets defensive, shuts down, lashes out, or disappears behind the classic “I’m fine". 🫣
And we are still learning, every day.
Because a beautiful relationship doesn’t mean there is never tension, and it doesn’t mean you never trigger each other.
It doesn’t mean you magically communicate perfectly all the time. But it means you are willing to keep choosing honesty over avoidance. 🙌🏼
Curiosity over blame.
Repair over resentment.
Love over protection.
This is why I’m hosting The Relational Field.
A brand new 9D Breathwork Journey for those navigating disconnection, tension, or a season of “crunchiness” in their relationship.
Come solo or with your partner.
This journey is an invitation to meet the personal patterns that create distance like withdrawal, defensiveness, lashing out, projection, self-abandoning by not speaking your truth, and breathe your way back toward honesty, repair, softness, and love. 💗🫂
Not about “falling in love” but choosing love and staying curious through the seasons of relationship.

Hi, I’m Kimberley!
If you’re new here, I’m so glad you found your way here.
My work is rooted in helping women heal the parts of themselves that learned to survive through people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-achieving, never feeling like enough, and staying busy enough to outrun the feelings they don’t know what to do with.
Because your life is worth so much more than punching the clock, holding it all together for everyone and their dog, and quietly wondering, is this really it?
How do I help you with that?
Through breathwork, yoga, meditation, mindset coaching, nervous system work, and holding really tender space for you to feel what’s actually there: the true, raw, unfiltered emotions, your innocent inner child, and all the parts of you that have been buried under the “I’m fine” layers.
I host breathwork journeys in person at my home studio just outside of Saskatoon and virtually, teach yoga both online and in my studio, and lead deep-dive holistic coaching programs that are 3–6 months long.
I'm currently slowly finding my way back into my work after bringing my sweet baby girl, Luna Grace, earthside in March & it feels so good.
My ideal client is currently saying to herself:
"Everyone thinks I’m doing fine, but I’m not"
“I’m tired of being the strong one all the time”
“I know there’s more for me than this”
“I don’t want to keep living in survival mode”
“I want to feel like myself again”
So glad you’re here. 🤍
You can expect from me messy emotions, honest reflections, breathwork, yoga, healing, new motherhood, cabin shack renovations with my carpenter partner, gardening, life with my 4 cats, and whatever else is on my mind that day.
Welcome to my world!!!!!
