I had my first experience EVER at a healing centre. Laurie made my experience memorable, yet I left my first assessment more educated on the human body and the healing process. Super friendly as well!

The Ropana class that combines massage and yin yoga is my favourite so far! I absolutely trust Lori, a trained professional, to massage and adjust my body when I am deep into a pose. With other yoga instructors I don’t feel I can completely surrender, as I have had times where they tried to adjust my body into a shape that it just won’t go into. Lori’s yoga approach is so inclusive, that she describes various options, unlike other classes that set up that competitive element (whether with yourself or competition against others) by saying for a “more advanced” pose….Lori just says do what your body needs for tonight. Her voice, affirming messages during yoga and all-inclusive approach are really what yoga is all about. My mind, spirit and body all thank her at the end of a session, highly recommend!

So thrilled to have found Samsara Yoga Healing Centre for continuing my yoga practice. The fireplace, tea room, gentle aromatherapy and natural amethyst make this space vibe with warmth and healing. Laurie is warm, professional and inclusive in the space she hosts. As a yogi of size, I appreciate the Samsara philosophy that all bodies are yoga bodies and recommend this welcoming atmosphere to anyone considering yoga for healing. Laurie seamlessly offers modifications and reminders during class that help me nurture my own progress and pace. I continue to marvel at improvements to my range and mobility. Perhaps best of all, my chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis have changed drastically and Samsara Yoga Healing Centre visits have become the self care I cannot afford to skip. Miigwetch Laurie!
