Parabola Flow
2025-01-12 10:00 - 11:48 (America/Toronto) | Visual Arts Brampton, 1 Bartley Bull Pkwy, Brampton, ON, L6W 3T7, Canada
Parabola flow is an act of reclaiming energy and immunity amid the winter months. Aligned with the principles of Ayurveda, it tries to regulate the excess of Kapha (elements of earth and water), which is known for its qualities of heaviness, coldness, and dampness. Let’s increase circulation and reduce mental fog by balancing the natural tendency to go inward with the need to move and find clarity.Fostering creative yoga is a journey through various shapes and patterns, like the universe. Our flow sequence mirrors the U-shaped curve of a parabola, a concept from Mathematics. Experience the unique properties of a parabola with your own body, including the directrix, the axis, and the vertex.As we embark on this unique journey with our masterclass, expect a warm-up, two waves of repetitions and progressions, a cool-down, and a Savasana. This is not your typical yoga class but a transformative experience.

A Special Yoga Class. Celebrating Latin American Heritage Month
2025-10-19 13:30 - 15:15 | Visual Arts Brampton, 1 Bartley Bull Pkwy, Brampton, ON, L6W 3T7, Canada
October marks the celebration of Latin American Heritage Month. I am offering a special yoga class that honors and shares the unique and dynamic Latinx culture.

The Latin American region is complex, and it is often difficult to encapsulate the diverse identities of the Latinx diaspora in a single definition. For example, Latin America is incredibly linguistically diverse: Spanish (most widespread), Portuguese, French, hundreds of Indigenous languages, English, and others.

The music playlist will be a line-up of Latin American musicians to represent that unique linguistic diaspora.

As my first language is Spanish, my speech-based cues will be a playful alternation between Spanish and English, just to enhance the ambiance, not to cause confusion.

The yoga sequences will be designed with intentional accessibility in mind for all. Dance can take place, as well as a poem or two authored by a Latinx poet.

To enhance the experience, our location will be Visual Arts Brampton, making the art wall exhibitions part of our immersive vibe. Additionally, bring your most colorful yoga garments as an option.

This event welcomes everyone! Whether you carry Latinx Heritage in your heart or come to explore, to support, and to honor it!

Let’s celebrate together!

Slow & Dynamic | Soul Flow

Class Style and Environment

This yoga class offers a gentle invitation into slow, intentional movement guided by breath. Integrating pranayama, meditation, and yogic philosophy, the practice weaves together dynamism and stillness, encouraging steady transitions and mindful awareness in each pose. Participants are supported in cultivating personal agency, deepening self-connection, and engaging with the shared energy of the community. Music accompanies most sessions, reflecting the evening mood—longing, melodic, calm, and rhythmical. Hands-on support may be offered, when aligned with the theme, using consent chips.

Slowness is a shared intention of the practice, creating space for awareness and continuity of breath. At the same time, participants are encouraged to honor their own rhythms within that container — pausing, softening, or choosing a different expression of a movement as needed. Options and variations are offered throughout to support different bodies, abilities, and energy levels.

These classes are open to practitioners of all levels and backgrounds. The space is intended to be welcoming and inclusive, honoring diverse experiences and fostering a sense of safety, respect, and community.

If you have specific accessibility needs or questions, you are warmly invited to reach out in advance so accommodations can be explored.

The space is intentionally kept at a comfortable temperature—never heated. A wooden floor underfoot provides warmth and grounding, while bricked walls add texture and character to the practice room. Lush plants are thoughtfully placed around the borders, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and connection to nature. All necessary props are readily available. The room itself is a sunroom, with an abundance of windows. Although the sun is not visible during evening sessions, there is always the possibility of being greeted by the gentle glow of the moon.

Slow & Dynamic. Vinyasa.

Class Style and Environment

Every Thursday, two sessions are offered: one at 12:00 p.m. and another at 4:30 p.m. Both classes focus on a slow movement flow synchronized with the breath, with special attention given to mindful transitions and dynamic sequences. While the midday and afternoon sessions share the same overall theme and sequence, they are not identical. The 12:00 p.m. class may invite greater stamina and sustained effort, whereas the 4:30 p.m. session is designed with a gentler level of intensity.

These classes are open to practitioners of all levels and backgrounds. Options and variations are offered throughout to support different bodies, abilities, and energy levels. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace, rest as needed, and adapt or choose versions of each movement that feel supportive and sustainable. The space is intended to be welcoming and inclusive, honoring diverse experiences and fostering a sense of safety, respect, and community.

If you have specific accessibility needs or questions, you are warmly invited to reach out in advance so accommodations can be explored.

The studio features a bold, retro-inspired wood floor design that creates a distinctive atmosphere; the room is heated to encourage a gentle sweat and maintain warmth throughout the practice, while a well-placed mirror supports clear demonstrations and enhances the overall learning experience.

Yoga, Poetry, and Tea
2026-03-21 10:30 - 12:30 | Peel Art Gallery Museum + Archives, 9 Wellington St E, Brampton, Ontario, L6W 1Y1, Canada
In honor of World Poetry Day, I present a special event in partnership with PAMA and Andrea Josic, the City of Mississauga’s Poet Laureate. This unique experience is to highlight the power of two great human expressions: yoga and poetry.

Poetry speaks to our shared humanity. Poetry is arranged in words, and yoga is arranged in movements.

In the same way that poetry improves literacy, yoga improves our capacity to move. Both creative expressions enrich human evolution and interconnection.

Just as poetry celebrates linguistic diversity, so yoga honors our individual abilities and confidence.

Description of the session:

1. Our opening to welcome you! Andrea shares a live reading of her own poems.

2. With the set tone, we continue with a presence meditation.

3. For approximately 45 minutes, a gentle yoga flow follows with intentional poetic linguistic cues and calming music. Ending this segment with savasana or restful pose and a gentle moving out of it.

4. Afterwards, we pause to grab a cup of tea to prepare us for our poetry circle. You are encouraged to bring your favorite short poem or your own. Everyone has a moment to read and share. Consider bringing out various options and choosing the one that resonates with you now. You can optionally select this time to write from your own reflections. Both reading poetry and sipping a hot drink are rituals of presence. Your tea slows you with heat, aroma, and the act of holding.

5. Andrea offers a second reading of one of her poems based on gratitude.

6. Closing with loving-kindness meditation.

7. An open space for comments, questions, and answers.

Please bring your yoga mat and one block or any prop, if needed.

Come and enjoy the experience of yoga + poetry + tea!
