ABOUT US

Yoga & Wellness for Life! was founded on the principle that every individual should be given an opportunity to live life to the full extent in health and contentment. In keeping with this principle, we offer premium yoga and fitness and training classes for men and women of all ages and experience levels.  We have helped male and female hockey players, cyclists and runners to help enhance their performance and reduce injuries through power yoga. To provide families an opportunity to bond, family yoga, mommy & me yoga and mother & daughter classes are scheduled on demand.

For individuals wishing to make changes to their lifestyle, we offer fitness assessments, consultations and program design unique to the needs and goals of the individual.  For athletes wishing to improve performance and reduce injuries, our program design for athletes includes various other forms of training and periodization specific to each athlete’s competitive sport season.

Our studio, located at Davidson’s Courtyard, 7 Russell Street West, Smiths Falls, is spa inspired to contribute to calming the mind and senses. The beautiful fireplace creates a beautiful welcoming environment during fall and winter months.

We are committed to providing students with a safe and nurturing environment to practice yoga and to engage in fitness. All classes are guided by registered yoga teachers, who participate in annual training and workshops in yoga and alternative therapies to continually upgrade knowledge and maintain professional memberships. The background of the teacher is heavily concentrated in anatomy and in-depth training in the kinesiology of each asana (pose). This is complimented by providing an environment respectful of the philosophical traditions and spirit of yoga, encouraging students to embrace those aspects, which can be used to enhance their lives. Fitness and conditioning sessions are lead by certified fitness leaders and personal trainers, who continuously engage in professional development workshops and post-secondary courses to bring the most current information to participants.

Supporting the communities in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties, our students support oncology patients, those in hospice and palliative care, undergoing treatment and their caregivers by supporting a complimentary Yin Restorative Yoga class on Monday mornings. This class is open to all individuals at no cost.
