Hot Stone Restorative Yoga
Where doing nothing is the point.
with Linda Schnabel & Melanie Gainforth
Time: 10:00am to 11:30am
Dates: Sunday Nov 15th
Sink into deep rest with this slow, meditative practice designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and gently restore balance. Fully supported restorative poses are paired with the comforting warmth of smooth, heated stones placed on the body, allowing muscles to soften, stress to melt away, and the mind to settle into stillness. With minimal movement, intentional breath, and long-held poses supported by bolsters and blankets, this class offers a rare opportunity for true, uninterrupted rest.
This nurturing experience can help reduce stress, ease chronic tension and everyday aches, improve circulation, and support better sleep while encouraging emotional grounding and a deep sense of calm and safety. Ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or in need of gentle care, Hot Stone Restorative Yoga requires no prior yoga experience—only a willingness to slow down and receive.
Space is limited to 10 participants so we can give each person lots of attention.
Come as you are. Leave restored.
Dress in comfortable layered clothing, bring your yoga mat and water bottle.
Cost: $50 includes HST for 90 minutes

Dharma Breath®
With Jacqui Tracy
Upcoming Sessions: Saturday, November 21 and Dec 12 2026
Time: 1:00–4:30 PM
About Dharma Breath®
Stress and tension often cause us to hold our breath and repress our feelings. Over time, these accumulated feelings demand increasing amounts of energy to suppress, creating a debt in the vitality we bring to our lives.
Dharma Breath® accesses energy that can be transformed into greater vitality and personal growth. Tom Lodge explains, “Focusing on the trauma gives it energy. Understanding the event is not necessary to eliminate its effect.” He references R.D. Laing, who said:
“Obsession with past events is like a person in a dungeon. The door is open for them to walk out, yet they choose to stay until they can figure out how they got there.”
Dharma Breath® offers a practical breathing technique that you can use at home to help relieve and manage stress. It encourages you to embrace the present moment and live life to the fullest.
Some participants who have experienced Ayahuasca (Iowaska) ceremonies have reported that Dharma Breath® offered them meaningful personal insights and an expanded sense of consciousness. Conscious breathing can help foster a deeper connection with ourselves, along with greater clarity and peace.
About the Facilitator
Jacqui Tracy, a Registered Master of Dharma Breath®, brings over three decades of experience to this practice. She is dedicated to sharing her wisdom and insights while nurturing growth in students of all ages.
