Happy Halloween and Happy November!

As we approach the slower time of year in Tofino, we have a few changes in the studio: Mariah’s last day teaching will be Oct 31st. We have canceled a few of our classes on the drop in yoga schedule. Please check out the new schedule here or pick one up at the studio, they will be in the box by the front door tomorrow or Monday.

This is also a great time to set some new goals, revisit your intentions, re-connect to your practice and make time for yourself. During the month of November why not take part in our 30 Day Challenge or check out Natalie Rousseau’s 30 Day Illumination.

All of us at Coastal Bliss are so grateful for the support and growth each of you are contributing to our wonderful community!

Dear Students at Coastal Bliss,

I will be taking a sabbatical from teaching yoga for the next little while in order to dedicate some time to my yoga studies and practice. I have appreciated and loved our studio time together and look forward to sharing the depth and joy of yoga in the near future. Thank you all for being so wonderful!

With love, Sarah
