Gentle Morning Yoga
Enjoy a sacred start to your day with a gentle and grounding yoga class.
We’ll begin with an inspirational theme or reflection then move into a well-rounded practice focused on breath, alignment, ease and self-compassion. You can expect to get a deep, luxurious stretch to all the major muscle groups + a slow flow, and we will integrate our practice with a restful guided relaxation.
You can also expect: Beautiful curated playlists, healing hands-on assists (totally optional) and a focus on nourishing the nervous system. Please come as you are: Beginners and those new to yoga are most welcome!
Mindful Movement: Gentle Yoga
Practice listening with curiosity and responding with care to what your body needs in each moment. In this slow and gentle practice of mindful movement and breath we release patterns of stress and tension, creating new pathways of calm and resilience.
Through a deep commitment to safe postural alignment and embodied awareness we build strength and flexibility of body and mind. Infused with poetry and inspired by the cycles of the seasons, this class invites you to align with the natural world and your own wild self.
Wholehearted Warrior pop-up class
A high-intensity, all levels primal flow, with bass-pumping music & black lights. This class incorporates grounding movements, plyometrics, deep core engagement, and a connective closing circle to open your wild heart and free your mind. Wear white or neon if you want your style to pop in the lights!
*YES: you can use your class pass for pop-up classes like this one!
Fiery Flow
This is a challenging vinyasa class where we will move through sequences holding the postures long enough to challenge the mind and teach ourselves to breathe through the sensations. We will build our inner heat and incorporate balancing postures as well as fun flows with music. All levels welcome.
Vigorous Vinyasa
Inspire transformation in this is a high-energy, asana inspired movement class. We will work with our natural ability to expand and grow. With sensitivity and awareness, we will recognize our edges and honor our desire to stay or push harder. Align your body, mind and heart as you connect with your deepest self.
Yoga Flow & Play
Joanie's playful style brings join to the practice: open your heart, tune in and stay curious! An all-level flow, with optional challenges if you want them! Honor your own pace and modify as you wish, we don't take ourselves too seriously here!
Sweet and fun moderate Yoga flow with Joanie. All-levels welcome.
At-Home Retreats
Our at-home meditation retreats are the ultimate opportunity to experience deep rest, foster rejuvenation, and receive instruction in consciousness-based healing techniques.
We invite you to connect with our community of meditators and find the joy that comes in taking each step toward greater freedom.
Much like an in-person retreat, the program begins Friday evening and ends before lunch on Sunday, leaving you with extra time to relax and integrate. Our meditation sequences are punctuated with time for personal movement and stretching, breathwork and rest periods to give you the maximum integration benefits.
To facilitate connection between participants and hold space for meaningful conversation, time is given in smaller groups over the weekend. Spacious meal breaks include time for walking and self-reflection.
We encourage you to give yourself the gift of retreat as an opportunity to let go of your day-to-day responsibilities and relax. Many have found that this format truly facilitates deep connection, impactful healing and powerful transformation.
Taught by Dr. Paul Dugliss and co-hosted by Joanie Bégin-Morin

I want you to have a direct experience of the true love and light that you are. Your true being, beyond all the layers of ego and self-identification with emotions and such, is truly, in its essence, true infinite and tremendous love.
What would it be like to live fully from the heart, at all times? To be guided by your clear intuition and see the power of intention in action. To be fully connected with your support system, your guides and angels, all elemental beings coming in to help us move through this life, heal and clear our karma. We are meant to enjoy this life, the era of learning through suffering is over (yay!!). We can now choose to learn and evolve through bliss and expanding consciousness.
How does it work? You are guided to have direct experiences of the greater consciousness and how it is an inherent part of all that Is. You have a direct experience of your true heart, of the tremendous peace and bliss that resides in your center at all times. Through expanding your consciousness and awareness with these processes, you begin to see old patterning releasing, triggers disappearing, clarity settle in. Bliss infuses each moment, it becomes easier and easier to feel true compassion for yourself and all beings. The healing and growth comes from the inside out and manifests into all areas of your life.
Relationships, work life, home life, all areas are infused with this light and joy becomes more prevalent. You begin your day in your heart, clarifying intentions for your day and shining this light you experience from your true heart into every moment. This becomes your “new normal”, why would one go back to suffering? And this has a ripple effect. First, you notice your closest relationships shifting into the light, and they notice a shift in you as well. All who come into contact with you are uplifted, that is a law of nature. Your environment begins to reflect this new vibration you are embodying and little miracles are starting to happen. You notice synchronicities and see that things come to you more easily. And you may not realize it in the moment, but this uplifting you are choosing for your own life affects all beings.
As you uplift yourself, you uplift humanity. As you choose to heal yourself, you contribute to healing the collective. When you choose to heal greed within yourself, you heal greed in all of humanity. Ultimately, we truly create the world we want to live in, and it starts right here with us. Choosing a life of true enjoyment, of deep connection with our own hearts and true self, is choosing a better future for all beings.
When love is present, in any of its beautiful high vibration expressions such as gratitude, compassion, acceptance or bliss, there is no room for fear. The lower vibration of fear cannot enter a space of love. What does that mean for life on earth?
I know, it sounds out there... I can tell you that I have experienced it for myself and continue to unfold this incredible process every day. And that's why I am passionate about sharing these practices with you... because they work!
I have been doing this work for myself for a few years now, and it is tremendous. This is not a program about learning facts and creating beliefs. This is a way to experience these truths for yourself. You will learn techniques and concepts that help you tap into this tremendous love for yourself. The results come effortlessly. All you need is a commitment, and a simple, regular practice. Tremendous change is possible as we transcend the mind and emotions and heal from the core of the issues we are experiencing. I have seen it many times with my clients. What is written here isn’t just mere beliefs or hopes. It is based on true experience, and you can have it too!
So, if this resonates with you, with your soul, with your curiosity… let’s talk! You can browse the different programs and sessions that I offer, but nothing speaks to it like experience. Enjoy this little taste of what is possible and begin with a heart-centering contemplation. It is a simple way to cultivate your connection with heart, and a key practice in embodying your true self. This practice becomes deeper and stronger as we work together and you learn to meditate, but at least it will give you a little taste!
Is your heart saying YES? Maybe even HELL YES? Then let’s talk! You can find a time to book your complementary session, or simply send me an email to open the conversation. I offer a variety of programs, some in group form and some as one-on-one, in hopes that everyone can find something that works for their schedules and wallets. I am here to support you, so if we find that we are a good fit, then let’s find a way to work together!
So, so much love to you!
Joanie
