A message from DOWNdog!

For those of you who are not familiar with the studio, DOWNdog is  a home yoga studio in the heart of Manor Park at 8 Bedford. It is local, non profit and community oriented.  It is going into its 6th year!  Its success would not have been possible without your continued support.=

Two years ago, in 2021, DOWNdog welcomed Michael Dynie. Mike is considered by many to be one of the TOP yoga teachers in the Ottawa region. He taught me my YTT-200 course at Upward Dog.   He not only kept me motivated (when I wanted to give up) but he did so much more. He helped me fall in LOVE with yoga!  This Spring Mike will be teaching two All Levels classes on Monday evenings!  Both classes have proven to be very popular.

Roxanne Joly needs no introduction.  She came to teach at DOWNdog in 2022.  She has taught for over 23 years in the MP community!  I asked a new student who recently registered for the Wednesday morning Gentle Hatha class if she knew Roxanne. She wrote back and said, “Yes I do! Roxanne taught me…. it must be close to 20 years ago.  It’s nice to be back!” Looking ahead, Roxanne is hoping to teach a NEW class, Move and Breathe, Monday mornings, in the fall. (A class that was very popular among students at Kalyanna!

Michael will also be teaching the  NEW Friday morning class. It is Gentle Hatha and suitable for all levels. The emphasis will be on positivity and how positive energy, positive thinking, trust or faith if you will, go a long way towards helping us heal and restore balance to our lives.   This class will help you restore much needed grounding, connecting and uplifting energy. 

Four classes to choose from!  Something for everyone!
