Shoulder Clinic with Jodie Duplisea

Show your shoulders some love!

This Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Cost: $50 + tax

 

The shoulders are the joints that have the greatest motion potential in our bodies.  Physically, they allow us to stretch, lift, throw, pull and swing.  Forming part of the heart chakra, they also show us how to handle intuition, hope, love and forgiveness. And when we are unbalanced, they hold on to resentment, loneliness, grief, anger and mistrust.

In this clinic, we will learn postures to release physical as well as emotional shoulder tension. 

Jodie Duplisea began practicing yoga as a young child with her grandmother, in order to recover from a serious neck injury. Being a tomboy and chronic klutz, she returned to her grandmother several more times during her youth to heal from sports injuries, until finally realizing the benefits of having her own daily yoga practice. 

Because of her first-hand experience with the healing benefits of yoga, Jodie is fascinated by its therapeutic effects and loves to pass on her knowledge to her students so that they may optimize their health as well.  She has studied various natural health modalities, including different types of massage and several forms of yoga.  She is currently studying dynamic osteopathy at Cera.

 Pre-registration is required and space is limited.

 Please call

Vote for Us!

Just in time for our first taste of spring and (hopefully) the last relapse into snow, the Montreal Mirror has opened voting for their 20th Annual Best of Montreal, so get ready to rate your faves!

Last year we ranked 4th of the top 5 yoga studios in Montreal (thanks guys! We'd only been open for 6 months at the time!), and this time around we're ready to be Montreal's #1 yoga studio.

But we can't do that without your help! Show your love by voting!

The ballot covers everything from Best Looking Clientele to Best Fishmonger, so give shout outs to all your fave peeps & places. You need to fill out a minimum of 25 questions, 
and in the event you don't have 25 favorite things in Montreal, let us know, and we'll tell you some of the things we think are so abfab.

HappyTree's more than just another pretty studio (though it is stunning!). Our clients already know that we feel yoga of all things should be holistic, inclusive, and fun. As a result, we know your name, we appreciate your smile, and we're touched that you choose to share your practice with us. Whether you love our classes, our tea, our parties, or the random fruits and baked goods that show up in our lounge, we hope that somehow HappyTree has brightened your life. 

Please let the rest of Montreal know!

The deadline for entry is midnight, Friday, April 24th
The results will appear in the Thursday, May 24th edition of the Mirror.
