"OPUS YOGA" New Session November-December 2018 - Drop-ins Welcome!

Yoga with Luce, September 2018

Since September 2018, I have been offering weekly yoga classes in the Lower Hall of the Woodroffe United Church, located at 207 Woodroffe Avenue. Classes are grouped in 7 or 8-Week Sessions and are held Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 and Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 and from 10:45 to 11:45. Drop-ins are welcome to all 3 classes.

OPUS YOGA CLASSES maintain a solid Hatha Yoga tradition by offering yoga sequences that honour the intelligence of your body. Each yoga class helps mobilize your spine -- in keeping with the core principles of Hatha Yoga -- using blocks and straps to support your practice. Accessible yoga poses allow you to move your joints through their range of motion, with the intention of improving balance, flexibility and strength. Using your breath to sustain your practice, you cultivate calm and focus. The gentle pace makes these classes suitable for a variety of needs.

Yoga for Cyclists: 6 Poses in 6 Minutes

Training in Lake Placid, May 2014.

When I started bicycle touring in 2003, I felt like the muscles of my legs, hips and back never got to rest. As a result, I started stretching every 10 km or so to “rejuvenate” these major muscle groups.  My stretches evolved over the years as I accumulated distance on my saddle (3000+ km per year), experience and integrated what I learned on the yoga mat.

Today, I practice a mindful stretching routine which allows me to ride longer distance while maintaining strength and flexibility. The routine can be completed in 6 minutes flat! The perfect spot is under a tree or along a fence anywhere “en route”. Ideally, it should be repeated at appropriate intervals (e.g. at 30mts; 60mts; 120mts). Click here to access MY TOP 6 POSES.
