It’s time to get back to, or start for the first time, power yoga.
What is power yoga? It is the fitness type of yoga, based on the Indian tradition of Astanga yoga, adapted to Western yoga practitioners by an American yogi Beryl Bender Birch.

You learn how to better control your mind, and feel toned and empowered in your body. Music and essential oils accompany us to a deeper experience.
My Susa Sparkle Yoga lessons take place on Mondays 7:30-8:30pm.
Address: 78 rue Sainte Ursule (church lower hall), Old Quebec. Free parking.

It’s normal to feel that after-holiday let down when all the festivities of the season end, the credit card bills roll in, and the coldest weather, snow, and ice make us housebound. The feelings of melancholy accompanying this period are commonly known as the January Blahs. When should we take notice that the January Blahs are more serious or have turned into depression? Depression is a mood disorder accompanied by feelings of sadness, anger, and loss that can affect a person’s every-day activities. Sadness doesn’t always mean depression. Join us for this timely videoconference with presenter, Yvonne Clark, Clinical Social Worker and Grief Counselor, to learn more about the difference between feeling down or blue and full-blown depression.
