Avoid the Winter Blues

The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines suggest adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, as well as two sessions of muscle and bone strengthening activities, to achieve physical AND mental health benefits. Your physiotherapist can tailor an exercise program designed specifically for you to do inside with minimal space (to help avoid the cold weather!), and with equipment everyone has around their home. At 30 minutes per day, the benefits of exercise are countless, while the side effects are minimal.

Exploring Awareness and Non-Attachment

What is consciousness? It’s the web of influences shaping our experiences—people, beliefs, and unseen connections. Raising awareness helps us transcend limiting beliefs and expand our perspectives. Non-attachment plays a key role, allowing us to observe without judgment, release rigid identities, and shift our energy. Through yoga practices such as mindful movement, breathwork (pranayama), and meditation, we cultivate awareness and inner peace. Poses like Tree Pose encourage balance, while Savasana fosters deep surrender. Science supports this practice, linking non-attachment to emotional resilience. By integrating yoga with awareness, we unlock clarity, personal growth, and expanded consciousness.
