MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Meet Jessica Puckering...
Tell us about your journey to the Taj Mahal...
This past January, I had the privilege to cross several items off my bucket-list while spending a month abroad in India. Travelling for 10 days with a guided tour group around the Golden Triangle, we, of course, made a stop in Agra to visit one of the seven wonders of the world: the Taj Mahal. Viewing the Taj Mahal is as surreal an experience as stepping into the frame of a world-renowned painting. Read more...
How does yoga nurture you?
Yoga teaches me how to surf the waves of my thoughts and emotions without allowing the tide to pull me under. When a tidal wave occurs, as it will from time to time, yoga is the force that compels me to break through the surface of the water and look to the horizon. Yoga makes me stronger and more flexible inside and out. I love the freedom I feel in my body-the mobility of my joints, the power of my muscles, the capacity of my lungs-after I practice yoga. I love how refreshed I feel in body, mind, and spirit: ready to surf the next big wave! Read more...
What's on your playlist?
A couple of my favorite songs to listen to while I practice yoga are: 'Festival' by Sigur Rós, 'La Valse d'Amélie (Version Piano)' by Yann Tiersen, and 'Guilty Cubicles' and 'Feel Good Lost' by Broken Social Scene. My favorite albums to listen to at the moment are: Yoga Padhi by Sounds of Isha, and Om Guitar by Stevin McNamara.

| BEYOND THE MAT... FUN FACTS FOR THE INQUIRING YOGI! |
What does the Yin/Yang symbol represent?
The symbol itself dates back to ancient Chinese philosophy and represents the meeting of two forces in the universe in perfect balance. Everything is in cycles, while one force may dominate our life, a complimentary force always finds a way to bring everything back to a state of harmony. Hectic days, restful nights. And every piece of the symbol has a meaning!
The outer circle represents everything in the universe. The two halves combine to make us whole. The black yin section and the white yang section are the opposing forces in our life. Click here to read more about the Yin and Yang forces...
We invite you to create your Yin/Yang balance in our studio. Step in, look up, reach beyond and find your harmony.

WELLNESS TIPS WITH THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS
|
Summer Hydration
It's great to bask in the hot summer days but we have to be extra vigilant about our hydration. In the summer we perspire more, thus losing water from our body more quickly than in the winter. If our water depletion is more than our intake our soft tissues, organ systems and general health is not optimal. Muscle tissue and fascia tighten up faster when we're dehydrated resulting in a greater chance of soft tissue injury. Also, when we stretch we might feel 'tighter than usual' or it may take longer to stretch out our tissues and feel stretched out. If you notice your clothes or lawn chairs leaving their imprint on you for extended periods of time this is a great indication that your hydration level is low so it's time to drink up a nice glass of water!
Yours in health,
Erin Watt, RMT
