November 14, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley

Tuesday was Remembrance Day in Canada. It is a day to honour and thank the men and women in the armed forces who have served so that we can live in a beautifully free country. Everyone of them gave something and some of them gave all. This is selfless service. Karma yoga is about service. […]

November 10, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley

Does this sound familiar at all? It’s 2 a.m. You turn over. Adjust the pillow. Tug on the blanket. Stare at the ceiling. Look at the clock. 2:05 a.m. Where the &#*!@ is that elusive sweet slumber?! There are probably a thousand different things that cause insomnia. Overactive mind, stress, caffeine, medical conditions, change in activity levels, time change! […]

How Yoga Cultivates Creativity

How Yoga Cultivates Creativity

Do you think of yourself as a creative person? As a kid, I loved to write, draw, paint, dance, make random crafts, and invent plays and talent shows for anyone willing would watch.

October 28, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley

I love supported bridge pose. I would say it is one of my all-time favourites! It is a really nice restorative backend that is great for gently opening the lower spine as well as the chest.

Stand Up Yoga for Better Posture

October 19, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley

Practicing Patience (or Are we there yet mom?)

This isn’t to say that I don’t get annoyed by long-winded meeting […]

October 14, 2014 by Charlotte Bradley
