Wendy's Therapeutic Movement

I am proud to say I am Wendy's first student. In 2008 I fell 15 ft sustaining a burst L1fracture. Two years later my fracture was well healed but I still had a fair amount of discomfort. I had never done a yoga class so I started with private classes. Wendy was very patient and with the use of props I was able to get in most poses.Wendy is constantly learning and sharing her knowledge with her students.Wendy's studio is still my happy place 6 years later.

I’ve been attending Wendy’s Gentle Yoga class for many years, initially as I was losing flexibility and concerned about losing my mobility.Wendy’s classes have given me more than healthy personal yoga practices, it has improved my flexibility enough to start participating in sportsthat I will enjoy in my retirement, relieves the strain from sitting at my desk 8 hours a day and improved my mobility.I returned to Wendy’s classes late in Spring 2020 when things opened up for Ontarians to be able t participate in person for classes.Wendy supported the guidance from the health department by limiting the participants, providing enough space between participants andhaving us wear a mask till we are settled on our mat. I found her Studio and her classes a safe place to practice guided meditation and yoga classes.Wendy has always made us comfortable and safe, she continues to invite us in to heal, strengthen and rejuvenate ourselves in a safe and positive space.She is truly gifted as a coach in providing life skills through her yoga classes. There have been countless times I have used Wendy’s techniques to get through stressful times and find peace.

I was looking for a place for yoga for guys…especially older beginner guys…like myself and my friend…and we found the perfect place here with Wendy. Wendy is very friendly, easygoing, knowledgeable and interested in making sure you get what you need from each class. Her studio is very warm and welcoming and we always feel great after a session. I absolutely would recommend Wendys yoga to anyone who’s even remotely interested in trying yoga.

Having had Fibromyalgia for over 26 years, I have experienced many different types of yoga on my healing journey. I chose Wendy’s Gentle Yoga Studio, over four years ago, because Wendy’s opening introduction was so real, honest and offered a practice more my pace. It was exactly what I was looking for after so many years of discomfort in regular yoga classes. Wendy is an authentic, attentive and intuitive teacher who adapts every pose for everyone in her practice. I have learnt that gentle yoga movements along with breathing techniques and quiet meditation can produce significant muscle releases within the whole body and highly beneficial healing. Wendy’s Gentle Yoga classes make me feel positive in my pain body and limitations are respected. The greatest health benefits I have experienced are core strengthening, leg muscle pain relief, and an overall feeling of wellbeing.I highly recommend Wendy’s Gentle Yoga Studio.

I have been supported by Wendy for over 10 years in her gentle yoga sessions. She is so welcoming to new people and makes sure you have all the supports you need in the sessions. Her excellence in cueing throughout the class helps you to understand your own body with no judgment. You leave refreshed and amazed at what you can accomplish.

I'm so happy I decided to try this. Even after just the first class I felt better. This isn't your regular yoga class, it's a restorative yoga class and I am already feeling the difference all over but in particular an improvement to a shoulder injury issue. If you're looking to heal your aching body Wendy's classes are for you.

I am new to yoga and was lucky enough to secure a spot with Wendy. Throughout the time we have explored different stretching and strengthening techniques using a variety of techniques including body weight, balls, strips, etc. always keeping in mind her audience. Every week we work on something new. Wendy supplies all equipment required. Wendy is a caring, knowledgeable, professional individual but also a lot of fun. I have learned so much in such a short time. If your looking for a great yoga experience - give this a try.

I have been going to Wendy’s yoga classes for a few years now and I’m so glad I found this studio! Wendy has created a very welcoming and safe space for all levels of abilities. The studio itself is lovely and she has plenty of various yoga props on hand to add a lot of variety to the classes. She expertly adapts the various yoga poses and stretches to suit participants with a keen eye on everyone for any necessary adjustments. Her depth of knowledge is impressive and she regularly explains the how and why of what we’re doing with each movement, which I do appreciate. Wendy really cares about each person in class and their individual needs. I would highly recommend this studio - I always leave each class feeling rejuvenated and thankful for my improved flexibility and strength.

I was delighted to be able to join my sister at Wendy's yoga class on a recent family visit. Wendy was so gracious and welcoming and also a wealth of knowledge and experience. The relaxed pace of the class provided time to go deeply into the movements and also to integrate before continuing on with the day. I felt like I had a vacation within my vacation!
