Celebrating Body Difference: 25 years experience delivering accessible and personalized movement and wellness programs to individuals and special needs groups throughout the Toronto Area "I help people to move more freely and to live more happily in their bodies" Jill Newberry-Evans, Owner/Movement Educator at Jill Yoga Style: Gentle, organic yoga and conscious movement as a path to self awareness, self care, and well being Our yoga practice is about developing a compassionate attitude toward our body and learning how to bring more awareness to what is going on inside. The universal laws we work with are grounding, breathing, and freeing the spine. This encourages the body to relax and unwind into new, fresh possibilities of experience As we learn to let any unnecessary tendencies toward pushing and pulling subside, the body becomes free to work in more economical ways. Parts of our selves that have been disconnected as a result of acute tensions, or restricted due to chronic habits, can begin to awaken and return to function This approach is kind and gentle, yet it can also be active and challenging. The effects can be restorative, transformative, energizing and deep. As we each continue to grow toward a more authentic way of practicing, we move further away from merely performing strenuous exercises on our mat, and find ourselves opening toward a greater sense of comfort, and feeling at home in our bodies
