Well, September is upon us! 🍁
And September can mean a whole lot of different things to each of us.
For some, it means the end of summer… although not quite 100%! For me, September brings one of my favourite seasons of all — Fall!
I love the changing colours, the cooler temperatures, and yes… the sweaters and scarves! 🧣🍂
So, I have a question for all of you:
What does September mean to YOU?
For me, September is a time of transition. We begin wrapping up the summer season and slowly move into those beautiful Fall days.
And honestly… I found this summer to be WAY TOO HOT! 🥵
Too hot, too humid, and some days it just made me feel tired! I am definitely looking forward to being able to wear comfortable clothing again without feeling like I am melting!
But let’s not get too excited just yet…
Those hot days aren’t gone for good — no sir, not just yet! ☀️
So don’t be too quick to completely change over your wardrobe. We may still have a few warm days ahead of us!
But truly, I hope that each and every one of you enjoyed your summer and created some wonderful memories along the way. 💛
🧘♀️ Fall 2026 Classes Are Here!
The Fall 2026 class schedule has officially been released as of September 1, 2026!
There is lots of time to sign up for the class — or classes — that you would like to take.
We will continue to offer both in-person and online options for some classes. However, as always, I truly believe that one of the greatest benefits of yoga is being present together in the classroom.
There is something special about sharing the space, the energy, the laughter, and of course… the occasional wobble! 😊
I look forward to seeing many familiar faces and welcoming some new ones as well!
📸 Follow Us on Instagram!
I hope everyone has had a chance to reach out and follow our new Instagram page!
My very own Marketing Junior Manager has been busy helping me get things up and running! 😉
You can now follow us at:

Every now and then, you may see Madison drop into class to take some quick photos, have a chat, or capture a little video.
So don’t be surprised if you see a camera pop up now and then! 📸😊
☕ Coffee Meet-Ups Are Back!
One of the biggest comments I received last year was that sometimes the coffee meet-ups were announced too late, and people already had other plans.
So this year, we have decided to pre-book the dates in advance!
Mark your calendars now!
| Date | Time | Location |
| Wednesday, September 30, 2026 | After 11:30 AM | Location to be announced |
| Wednesday, October 28, 2026 | After 11:30 AM | Location to be announced |
| Wednesday, November 25, 2026 | After 11:30 AM | Location to be announced |
| Wednesday, December 30, 2026 | 10:30 AM | Fortinos – Eastgate Square |
Other locations will be announced closer to the dates.
These coffee meet-ups have become such a wonderful way to connect outside of class, share some laughs, and simply enjoy each other’s company.
I hope many of you will be able to join us! ☕💛
🧶 Fall Sweater Fun!
Get ready to share a picture of your favourite Fall sweater!
We all have one — that cozy sweater we love pulling out when the temperatures begin to drop!
Whether it is colourful, oversized, knitted, vintage, or just incredibly cozy… I would love to see it!
📸 Share your favourite Fall sweater photo with us!

Thank you in advance to everyone who is able to contribute.
🍂 As We Move Into Fall…
September is a time of change.
The days slowly become shorter, the temperatures begin to change, and the colours around us remind us that life is always moving and changing too.
As we move into this new season, I hope you will take a moment to think about what you would like this Fall to bring into your life.
Maybe it’s more movement.
Maybe it’s more quiet time.
Maybe it’s trying something new.
Maybe it’s simply taking a little more time for YOU.
Whatever September and Fall mean to you, I hope you will embrace the season and all the beautiful possibilities that come with it.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone back in class and sharing another wonderful season together.
🍂 Stay warm… but not TOO warm just yet! ☀️😉
With warmth and gratitude,
Darlene
