Bloom into Spring 2023

The Bloom into Spring Attendance Challenge is back! Your attendance is your entry to win draw prizes. But your commitment to growth is the real win! 

Children’s Yoga (Ages 6-12)

Following the success of our Parent + Tot series, and numerous inquiries from the Stream community, we now offering periodic classes for older children.

This 1.5-hour session will include yoga, songs, crafts and games.

Go Deeper Spring Sessions

This mini-workshop series aims to support yoga practitioners interested in deepening their current asana practise.

A new season offers unique insights and energy, and the Spring Sessions will align with the uniqueness of the season.

Yoga for Gillian

Come and let’s celebrate the life of Gillian. We’ll enjoy yoga and meditation and share memories of our fellow friend and yogi.

The Yoga of Sleep

Please join us for a deeply relaxing afternoon of yoga nidra, led by visiting instructor Julie (Jaya) Boyse.
Yoga nidra is a guided practice of deep relaxation into the liminal space between waking and sleeping. It is a more efficient and effective form of physiological rest and rejuvenation than sleep! And it is an excellent doorway to drop-in to a meditative state.

Gong Meditation Sound Healing

Enjoy a healing afternoon of Gong Meditation.

Sound healing and gong baths are ancient tools used to bring body and mind back into balance, combat depression, confusion and low energy so we can feel more fully alive.

Rest + Receive

A combination of restorative yoga and sound bath not only reduces stress and anxiety by inducing a state of deep relaxation, but also has physiological benefits including pain reduction, improved sleep and strengthening the immune system to name a few.

Join Eve and Gina for this beautiful collaboration to open up and surrender into a peaceful experience. Gina will gently guide you through a few restorative poses each held for some time while Eve bathes you with her creative soundscapes combining a mix of different instruments of various frequencies and vibrations.

Our Unique Set + Setting 

Our Unique Set and Setting

 

Situated on a quiet country road, surrounded by organically farmed land, steps from the walking/cycling “Friendship Trail” and a kilometre from the sandy shores of Lake Erie, Stream Yoga + Meditation offers a unique setting for yoga + meditation classes, workshops and retreats.

“The Hut” at Stream (as we affectionately call it) is an expression of our wish to benefit living beings by creating a sacred space for the exploration of yogic, contemplative and human well-being practices of body and mind, open to all, regardless of background or beliefs.

Inspired originally by the shape of a yurt, our custom-built octagon studio resonates with a variety of meanings, including: the dharmachakra or wheel of dharma, the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism, and the 8 Limbs of Yoga.

Testimonials

What Our Students Say

“I have cervical (neck) spine degeneration and osteoarthritis throughout my body. Stream is yoga with a purpose — YOU! My body has responded so positively to the professional instructions by Heather and Megan, I am now able to move with much more ease. Plus, it’s a fun place to go, the setting is ethereal and the positive vibes have a healing effect. I never miss a class there!”
Grace

“Meditating with a group is really wonderful for quieting the mind and finding balance. Heather very gently shares her insight and knowledge.”
Loraine

“I LOVE the gentle yoga classes! It’s like getting a massage.”
Paula

“I have to admit I was skeptical about yoga. Before we tried it, I said to my wife, ‘This woo woo hippie stuff ain’t for me.’ But now, it’s our Tuesday thing! After the first 15 weeks I can honestly say I feel better. My flexibility has improved, my all-around mood has changed. I don’t sweat the small stuff as much as I used to. And, no matter how I arrive at class, I always feel better when I leave. Megan and Heather make me feel like one of the group.”
Dan

“There is ‘yoga’ but THIS is so much more. You don’t walk in feeling intimidated or feeling you should hide at the back…it’s a supportive group where we share and learn how to shine our light. Heather and Meg are wonderful teachers.”
Rebecca

“I have been practicing yoga with Megan and Heather for over two years now. It is the one activity, quite frankly, that keeps me from having chronic back pain. The instructors are fabulous and it truly doesn’t matter how good you are. Just show up and do what you can! The atmosphere is very non-judgmental and people of all levels and abilities attend the classes. There is a very welcoming “come on in and try it out and see how you like it” mentality.

I have also had an interest in meditation for many years, and have I been practicing weekly at the Wednesday evening sessions for some time now. The meditation teacher, Heather, is a warm, authentic and caring individual who is interested in the healing of others and the world. She creates a sacred space that is safe and nurturing for you to explore meditation, and provides instructions for mindfulness practices that can be done both on and off the cushion.

I am incredibly grateful that this wonderful experience is available right here in Port Colborne.”

Tracy

every moment a new beginning

“It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn’t depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn’t depend on how long you’ve held on to the old view.

When you flip the switch in that attic, it doesn’t matter whether its been dark for ten minutes, ten years or ten decades.

The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn’t see before.

Its never too late to take a moment to look.”
