Kamila grew up on Vancouver island, she keeps very active by playing sports, practicing yoga, as well as skiing, Mt. biking, swimming, hiking – exploring within BC’s bountiful nature!  Dance was a huge part of Kamila’s yoga journey and active lifestyle growing up; she fell in love with graceful mobility, and learned much about stretching and movement anatomy. Kamila still frequently dances (like nobody’s watching), and brings a lot of that passion for movement and fun music into her practice!

Yoga came into Kamila’s life over 12 years ago, the physical/spiritual restorative functions and power of breath latched onto her heart and mind. The ever learning world of yoga and mindful fitness is humbling and exciting for Kamila, she hopes to be sharing these teachings and growing with you very soon!

The 8 limbs of Yoga ☺️ 1.) The Yamas are rule The 8 limbs of Yoga ☺️ 1.) The Yamas are rules of moral code and include ahimsa (non-violence or non-harming), satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), bramacharya (sexual restraint), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness). 2.) The Niyamas are rules of personal behavior including saucha (purity), santosha (contentment), tapas (discipline or austerity), svadhyaya (spiritual studies), and Ishvara Pranidhana (constant devotion to God). 3.) Asana refers to yoga postures but in Patanjali’s initial practice, it referred to mastering the body to sit still for meditation. The practice of yoga asanas came about eight centuries later, which helped disciples ready their bodies for meditation. 4.) Pranayama are yoga breathing techniques designed to control prana or vital life force. 5.)Pratyahara means withdrawal of the senses. 6.)Dharana refers to concentration. 7.)Dhyana is the practice of meditation. 8.)Samadhi is merging with the divine.

Oh how the colors grow warmer, and the days grow c Oh how the colors grow warmer, and the days grow colder, how the nesting begins and the flame of summer dims. 🍂 The changing of seasons reminds us that change is inevitable. Sure it stirs us, sparks questions/reflections, unsettles us. Yet these are the things that help us see from a different perspective, help us learn and grow, remind us of our resiliency. We stir, we settle, we rest, we learn, we grow. Sit with it dear friends. 🍁 #autumn #move #breath #explore #sitwithit

We gratefully acknowledge that our studio is located on the unceded territories of the Lekwungen peoples,
also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations Communities.
