Coastal Bliss ~ Tofino's Yoga Studio

AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages blend to form this practice that cultivates trust, connection, and playfulness.

The deeper we send our roots, the higher we can rise. In this workshop we’ll ease into the practice of AcroYoga with a grounding in the fundamentals. Working together, we’ll develop trust & communication, and strike the balance between strong support & true relaxation. Building up from this firm base of connectivity we’ll guide the body to let go of tension while finding the flow of basing and flying, giving and receiving, inhaling and exhaling. Practice will include asana, partner acrobatics, gentle therapeutic flying and soothing Thai massage.

Come support and be supported. Bring a friend or meet a new one here.

April’s 30-Day Challenge came at the perfect time for me. I have been trying to create a regular yoga practice over the past year and in doing so have noticed a decrease in the neck and hip pain I often experience. (As a writer, I sit at a computer for most of the day. There is nothing harder on the body.) The Challenge confirmed for me that, health-wise, yoga is one of the best things I can do at this stage of my life.  As I approach 50, continuing to develop my flexibility and strength, as well as finding time in the day for calm, meditation, and reflection, is invaluable. The Challenge allowed me to experience different styles of yoga and to spend time with three caring, thoughtful teachers, all of whom taught me very much. The Challenge also helped move my practice to a new level. Finally moving into the full expression of the bridge pose was a happy day! -Adrienne Mason

I went into the 30-day yoga challenge with the expectation that i would work at sharpening and strengthening my practice; which definitely happened. what i didn’t expect was that i would also sharpen and strengthen my mind, off the mat. it was the perfect opportunity and method to dive deeper inwards, with the benefit of increased physical fitness. – Paul Jarvis

Ayurvedic tips for living life in the flow of nature during the winter:

• balance the cold weather by eating warm foods to enhance circulation and increase enzyme activity
• drink warm water instead of ice water
• to stimulate digestion add heating spices into your cooking like black pepper, ginger and mustard seeds
• try a 1 day detoxifying fast (or Eoin Finn’s Detox Flow class on Jan 2nd)
• get your body moving with exercise like yoga (very helpful before and after surfing in the cold ocean)

Please email info@coastalblissyoga.com or call 1-888-589-2246 with any comments, questions or concerns. Your thoughts and feedback are valuable in our ability to give back to this amazing community.
