Yin Yoga Workshops!

We are SO excited for Annica to broaden her yoga practice at the studio! This two-hour workshop will build personal and community connection as it will begin with a warm meet-and-greet and light discussion, perhaps sharing intentions for the practice and connecting with one another and ourselves. Following this, you will transition into the yin yoga practice, which focuses on long-held postures that target the connective tissues, promoting flexibility and inner calm. Each pose will be held for several minutes, encouraging a meditative state and allowing you to gently explore your limits.

After the practice, everyone will gather for a soothing opportunity to drink tea and talk, reflecting on your experience and nurturing your strong sense of community.

This class is a perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate both body and mind for the days to come!

Who: EVERYONE

What: Join Annica for a two hour yin yoga workshop designed to cultivate deep relaxation and mindfulness.

Where: Ballet Beats® Marda Loop studio. Yoga mats, blocks, and straps are available. You can use our mats or bring your own if you prefer.

Wear: Comfortable yoga/ dance attire with additional layers of clothing and even a light blanket or pillow for extra comfort during savasana. And don't forget your water bottle!

When: Sunday November 3, December 1, & January 5 from 3:30-5:30 PM

Why: To deepen your own practice and your connection with yourself within the safety and comfort of our Ballet Beats community.

Investment: $40 per workshop

MEET OUR GUEST INSTRUCTOR

Meet the amazing Annica!

For me, dancing and movement are just as important as breathing. Whether it be ballet, barre, yoga, ballroom or dancing in the kitchen, celebrating life with movement is a daily ritual for me. Since I was 4 years old or so, I could be found in the studio. This was my safe place as I grew into the woman I am today (and continue to grow into). The studio feels like home, which is why I love to not only

attend classes but teach - share this joy with anyone else who feels the same joy being in the space together. Ballet Beats has been my home since 2016 and I am so grateful and humbled to be part of this beautiful community.

What would my loved ones say about me? Well... I THINK they would say I am kind-hearted, optimistic almost to a fault, and someone who they can depend on. I hope that my warmth translates to those who meet me and especially to my students; I love to create a safe space where everyone is welcome, and that the true joy comes from us all dancing together in whatever form. I hope to give back to my students what dance has given me, which is a place of belonging and freedom to be you.

Favourite quote: "If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive". Finding your peace and holding it sacred resonates in my soul. We are all on different paths in life, and my journey thus far has been to find peace and solace within myself; beautiful when you find contentment, happiness and calm and realize it was inside us all along!
