Sadhana

Sadhana means practice.  It is time set aside to seek the Divine within you, connect to the Divine around you, and learn how to simply BE.  It can be prayer, inspirational reading, meditation, mantra or anything that helps you to focus on awakening to who you truly are.  Even this short explanation falls short of what your Sadhana can be.  

Every morning I do my own Sadhana.  I invite you to join me on weekday mornings for free to share this experience with me.  My Sadhana usually starts with deep breathing, balancing my energies, connecting to Mother Earth and the Cosmic Consciousness, setting intentions for the day ahead with Divine inspiration and filling my whole being with Divine Light.  I often journal and/ or chant the Gayatri Mantra and do a short meditation.  You are welcome to join me one day a week or all the days.  It's free!

Wisdom Talks

Everyone is full of little bits of wisdom! Let's come together and share!   Join me to discuss ways of being, awakening to the Divine within, walking the path towards enlightenment, inspirational quotes, experiences of inner shifting to higher vibrations of thought and perception and tons more.  Each week will have a theme or quote or short reading to get discussion started and wherever that discussion unfolds will be Divinely perfect!  Free!    Dates to be announced soon.

Free Trial Classes

Try a class for free!  If you have never experienced yoga or meditation with Pathways to Peace Yoga & Healing, then you are invited to come and try a class - Chair Yoga, Classical Yoga, Find Your Peace Meditation class.   (excludes special classes, series & workshops)

Bring a Friend, Get a Free Class

To current students... if you bring a friend who has never experienced yoga with Pathways to Peace Yoga & Healing, then you can have a class for free! 

Private or Semi-Private Yoga/ Meditation

Not comfortable with a group class?  Can't fit the scheduled classes into your life?  

Arrange Private or Semi-Private classes!   

Simply contact us to arrange time and location.

The benefit of private or semi-private classes is that you can tailor the classes to your needs and what you would specifically like to experience with your yoga or meditation practice!

The format of the classes can be anything from longer time spent in deep relaxation or incorporating playing with mantras or mudras or meditation. We can even tailor a class to do standing postures only or postures specifically aimed at strengthening core.  There is no limit to what can do!

Next series starts Tuesdays Jan 26 at 10:30 am


Want to learn to meditate but don't know where to begin?  

Whenever you try to meditate you experience all sorts of obstacles and want to give up?


Meditation is not easy.  In essence you are asking the mind to go from a million thoughts to zero.  You are conditioned to think constantly.  Now you want to recondition the mind to slow down and be quiet.  

With this is mind I have developed a 4 week series to explore the basics of meditation:

Week 1 - Explore "why" you want to meditate, learn a basic meditation technique, explore the ideas of mindfulness and awareness, and tips to develop a consistent practice.

Week 2 - Explore the need for gentleness, releasing expectations and relaxing into everything that arises.  

Week 3 - Discuss 3 main obstacles that often present themselves and tips to overcome them.

Week 4 - Learn to work with emotions that arise, find your peace, and seeing what you practice transferring into your daily life.

Receive guidance and ongoing support to develop a regular consistent meditation practice and feel the life changing effects of this amazing practice. 


Please pre-register by contacting me.  Classes through zoom only while studio is locked down. 

$72 + hst = 81.26 for full series.

Gentle Stretch, Japa (Mantra) Yoga & Meditation

This class will return soon to the schedule or book it privately.


Gently move the body in a slow sun salutation followed by a few gentle stretch yoga poses to ready the body to sit, sing mantra and meditate.
Focus will be on the Gayatri Mantra, the mantra for Enlightenment.  Following the mantra we will slip into a short time for meditation.
Sound can powerfully uplift and create specific vibrations within you.  The points on the hard and soft pallet of the roof of the mouth stimulate nerves that connect with the brain.  By using sound you can create resonance throughout the body creating states of peace and love and experience the vibrations of pure Divine Light.  
To hear the singing of the Gayatri Mantra CLICK HERE.  It is a video of Deva Premal singing the Gayatri live in concert.  It gives you an idea of how it sounds.  

Our first class we will explore the meaning of the mantra in depth and ways to use the mantra for uplifting consciousness.

Please pre-register.  If you have to miss one of these classes you can attend any other class as a make up.  Missing a class will not affect your experience of the series.

  $60 + hst = $67.80 for full 4 week session.   Seniors $52 + hst = $58.76 for full 4 week session.  Or, pay what you can manage.

Next series coming soon


Play Consciously with Deep Breathing to Nourish & Let Go, Balance, Heal, and Meditate

Week 1 - Nourish & Let Go:  Learn the technique to fully engage deep breathing, known as 3 part breath (Deerga Swasam).  Learn to use this breath to deeply nourish with Life Force Energy (Prana) and relax, releasing tensions from body, mind and beyond. 

Week 2 - Balance :  Practice the breathing technique from week 1 (Deerga Swasam) and learn to use it consciously to balance the Susumna, masculine and feminine energies, earth and Divine energies within you as well as how to balance the chakras, the main energy centers along the centre of your body. 

Week 3 - Heal :  Practice Deerga Swasam breathing, adding the technique of Ujai to intensify the effects and learn to use this breath consciously to bring healing into specific areas of the body, breathing Life Force Energy into that part and using a meditation technique to clear out the old stagnant energies.  

Week 4 - Meditate :  Practice Deerga Swasam breathing and using it consciously to set you up for meditation by pulling together many of the techniques from previous weeks.  

Please pre-register.  It is best to attend all 4 classes to benefit the most from the series.  
$60 + hst = $67.80 for full 4 week session.   Seniors $52 + hst = $58.76 for full 4 week session.  Or, pay what you can manage.  

Class Descriptions

Classical Yoga

Classical Yoga

Classical Yoga

image222

 Practice BEING, learning to focus the mind within, observe the self, perhaps glimpsing the Higher Self and just breathe.  As we play with traditional postures done in a traditional way - settle in and hold the posture, listen, watch and be in the experience and release - we have the opportunity to apply the practices of yoga philosophy first hand. We hit each category of posture - standing/ balancing poses, back bends, forward bends, inverted, resting and spinal twist - with a few others thrown in for stretching and we finish class with the blissful guided deep relaxation and meditation of Yoga Nidra.  Modifications are always shown for more challenge and/or for body restrictions.  Yoga at your own pace and your personal abilities. Leave class with greater mental focus, a worked and looser body and feeling at peace.


Chair Yoga

Classical Yoga

Classical Yoga

image223

This is Classical Yoga without getting down onto the floor.  Class begins with consciously observing the mind and the breath to train the mind to focus within.  Postures begin with a modified sun salutation done standing and progresses into a variety of leg and core work while seated in a chair, includes leg lifts, pike, cat/cow, spinal twist.  Class then moves into standing postures including crescent, tree, warriors, chair and more and ends with some gentle stretching both standing and seated in the chair.  The finale is a guided deep relaxation and peace meditation while seated.  Leaving class you will feel content and peaceful and focused.

The 5 Tibetans

Classical Yoga

Yoga Nidra with Reiki

 An  intense yogic practice ...

Check out the video above to get an intro to this awesome practice!


 The 5 Tibetans have been around for centuries.  It is a practice of 5 yogic exercises designed specifically to awaken the kundalini energies and ignite the chakra system. The 5 Tibetans leave you feeling alert yet peaceful and mentally clear while also experiencing a sense of physical well-being. Each Tibetans is repeated up to 21 times intensely moving in and out of a posture or moving from one posture to another and back again. The movements fire up the muscles, the energies and the heat within.  As you gain momentum the experience intensifies.  Class includes gentle yogic stretching postures after the Tibetans are performed and class ends with Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra with Reiki

Restorative Yoga with Reiki

Relax deeply and completely!  Let stress melt away as you are guided into a physical deep relaxation and peace meditation.  Yoga Nidra is known as yogic sleep where the body relaxes so completely it falls asleep even though the mind is still conscious as it drifts into a meditative state.  It is said that a half hour of yogic sleep is as if the body has had a full nights rest.  While you float in that state of deep relaxation of mind and body I offer Reiki to each person to help deepen the experience and balance the energies in the body.  Wake feeling refreshed! 


Restorative Yoga with Reiki

Restorative Yoga with Reiki

image225

 Prepare to be Bliss!  Yes, BE Bliss itself.  Restorative Yoga is done completely supported by cushions and your only job is to fully let go and relax.  The body opens and stretches very gently all by itself.  This form of yoga is meant to restore you body and your mind and nurture your spirit.  As you relax in each position Susan goes around the room doing Reiki on each student to help balance energies and deepen the experience of rejuvenation.  This 2 hour specialty workshop is offered once or twice a month.  Watch for date announcements.  Or better yet, join the email list and get notifications on dates and space left in each session.  Space is limited so be sure to register early!

Classical Yoga: Emphasis Alignment

Classical Yoga: Emphasis Alignment

Classical Yoga: Emphasis Alignment

image239

Explore common yoga postures in finite detail.  How do you hold your pelvis is Tree pose?  How do your shoulders sit when in warrior - shrugged up full of tension or perhaps rolled slightly forward?  What do you do with the shoulder blades in plank?  Or the neck in a spinal twist?    

This class is exactly as the title suggests: we will run through a full yoga class, though more slowly, with an emphasis on really consciously placing the body in alignment and feeling our way deeply into each pose. Even if you have little experience with yoga postures this is a great way to learn the nuances of each posture. Repetition and attention to detail will pay off. Let your postures evolve. 


Playing with Advanced Postures

Classical Yoga: Emphasis Alignment

Classical Yoga: Emphasis Alignment

image240

  For experienced peeps who want to play with new things and more advanced versions of postures. 

This is a Classical Yoga class with more time devoted to trying new postures that are typically more advanced like bow pose, crow, headstand and advanced versions of bridge, shoulder stand, fish and triangle. Some of these you have played with before so do not feel it is out of your range of ability. If you are not ready for headstand, then we will find a different posture for you to do.  Some postures will be great for you, others you may not be ready for. It is all perfect. Come and see what your body and mind can do with a little nudge and guidance.
