Yoga Barn

05/26/2026

It’s Mental Health Month, and I really wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of our beautiful instructors at the Yoga Barn. 💙

The fitness world can sometimes feel intimidating, and honestly, it can be nerve-wracking standing at the front of the room with all eyes on you while guiding a Yoga or Pilates class. So to all of our teachers: thank you. You are brave, inspiring, and deeply appreciated.

Being a Yoga or Pilates instructor does not mean you need to fit a certain image, body type, or size in your yoga pants. Teaching is not about perfection — it’s about sharing the experience, the healing, and the benefits of the practice.

We want to open this conversation to anyone who has thought about taking teacher training but feels held back by self-doubt or the idea that they’re “not in shape enough.”

You do not need to be in perfect shape.
You need to be informed.
You need to be familiar with the practice.
And you need to learn how to guide a good class.

And guess what? All of that comes with practice. ✨

The more we practice, the more connected we become with our own bodies, and the more we can guide others from a place of inclusivity, compassion, and authenticity.

If becoming an instructor has been sitting quietly in your heart, maybe this is your sign to take the next step.

Our upcoming Pilates Teacher Training begins this September, and we would love to welcome you into this beautiful journey.

And for all of those who have completed a teacher training but still haven’t stepped onto the mat to teach — this message is for you. 🤍

Those inner conversations, the self-doubt, the fear of not being good enough… they do not have to define you. Most of the time, they are simply stories we tell ourselves.

Your voice matters.
Your experience matters.
Your presence matters.

Step onto your mat. Share your passion for this practice. Teach from your heart, exactly as you are, and you will inspire others more than you know.

There is space for every kind of teacher in this community. ✨

Are you ready to step into your potential? 🤍

The power of Kirtan, mantra, singing, and sound ✨ no yoga in this workshop:)

I'm deeply excited to connect with all of you in this workshop with my teachers, Jay and Justine. They will be travelling from Collingwood to our studio and sharing their instruments and voices at the yoga barn.

For those who have never experienced a Kirtan, it is another kind of yoga named Bhakti yoga, where we will learn a few mantras and transform them into a chant!

Join us for a deeply immersive workshop experience exploring the healing vibrations of voice, music, mantra, and sound bath meditation. Together we’ll connect through breath, community, and deep rest — allowing sound to calm the nervous system, open the heart, and guide us inward.

Our teachers will be bringing a didgeridoo along with a variety of powerful instruments to create a truly expansive and almost out-of-body experience, inviting a withdrawal of the senses and a journey into deep presence, stillness, and inner awareness.

No experience is needed — only an open heart and willingness to receive.

Come sing, breathe, listen, release, and reconnect ✨

Don't miss this opportunity if you have been thinking of doing a sound bath!

The Yoga Barn opens many paths for us — the path of yoga, adventure, connection, and traveling together.

For the past 11 years, we’ve shared the experience, creating memories and friendships all over the world. Today someone said to me, “If they don’t come on a retreat, they’re definitely spending their money on the wrong things.” 🤍

Stay tuned for our next opportunity to travel together… Portugal never disappoints 🇵🇹✨

To see nature , listen to the birds and not hear a single vehicle makes this experience so special.

On Wednesday May 13th we are offering a 3rd Wellness Wednesday at the studio, limited to 10 participants.

We start with Breathwork, this practice
👉 Improves oxygen flow and activates your parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” mode).

Then we will move with Vanessa Ius with a Hot Pilates practice, strengthening the muscles that will cool down and improve with our third activity (totally optional)

🧊 An ice bath (also called cold water immersion) is when you sit in very cold water—usually around 10–15°C (50–59°F)—for a short period of time to help with recovery, inflammation, mental resilience, and circulation.
* May reduce muscle soreness after intense exercise
* Can temporarily decrease inflammation
* Boosts alertness and energy
* Some people find it helps mood and mental resilience
* Often paired with breathwork and recovery routines

We will end our night with a sauna session:) 🔥to finish a great night of detoxification and recovery, refill your cup with us on Wednesday from 6-9 pm

Ps the order of cold plunge and sauna is totally up to the participants, Alysia and Espe will be guiding one on one sessions if you have never done it before!

We can’t wait to continue the Mother’s Day celebration!🎉

Namaste 🙏🏽
