Grounding Vinyasa Flow
The Class
Helping to ground your body, this Grounding Vinyasa Flow is the same sequence every time – a sequence that has been developed to open the hips, engage hip and leg muscles, and best warm you up for increasing range of motion in your lower body. A great class for runners due to how well it helps increase hip and leg mobility, this class gets more and more familiar the more you come practice. ‘Vinyasa’ classes utilize the pairing of breath and movement. Each movement has an associated breath, and vice versa. It is called a ‘Flow’ due to the fact that one posture will take you into the next, which takes you into the next, and so on. There are no moments in the class when you’re ‘out of’ a pose – stillnesses take place when a posture is held for a few cycles of breath, before you make your way into the next posture. Common postures in all ‘flow’ classes might sound familiar to you: Downward Facing Dog, Upward Facing Dog, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Tree Pose, etc. These are common postures in the Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, Grounding, Ashtanga, Rocket classes.

The Teachers
Pauline has lived in Lethbridge for over 10 years. Originally from Calgary, she moved to Lethbridge to complete her BFA at the U of L. Her plan was to leave shortly after completing her degree, but opportunities continued to arise that allowed her to remain in the city. She grew up in Bragg Creek, and spent her time outdoors, camping, skiing, and hiking. She fell in love with yoga 9 years ago – the 26&2 class kicked her butt, and she loved every minute of it. Off to training the following year, and more trainings in the subsequent years. She is trained in Bikram (26&2), Power Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Buti, and Ashtanga/Rocket.
Yoga was never something that Pauline thought she would enjoy – she had the idea that it was too easy, too slow, that it wasn’t enough for her. And after taking her first class, she was quickly proven wrong. The yoga can be challenging, but also incredible. It opens you up to new things in your body, as well as your mind. It’s a connection that is truly unique to everyone, and it’s really beautiful.
Although Pauline can’t get most of her family members to practice yoga when they visit the city, her amazing fiancé, Cam, can be seen around the studio all the time. Pauline is thrilled to be part-owner of Harvest Yoga Studio with Jess, and is looking forward to future adventures together as business partners and lovers of yoga.
I was raised on a farm in Wrentham, AB. I attended university in Utah at BYU. While I was earning my bachelors degree I gained a passion for outdoor recreation. Rock climbing , mountain biking, backpacking and water sports are the things I choose to do whenever I get the chance. I have 5 awesome kids and an amazing husband. We love to go on adventures together! I started practicing yoga in April 2018. Admittedly I initially came to the studio under duress. The friends I workout with wanted to add yoga to our workout and running routine. I agreed to give yoga try after a frustrating string of fitness related injuries. I survived my first class which was 26 & 2. I was pleasantly surprised with how good I felt … after it was over. I have been coming regularly ever since. I may have started practicing yoga for the physical benefits but I was amazed at the effect it had on my mental well being. Taking time away from the stresses of my day and allowing myself some guilt free “me” time has been just the thing I needed to gain and maintain a positive outlook on life.
Born and raised in Lethbridge, Jen first landed on her mat almost 25 years ago and has been practicing here with the Harvest community since 2014. Sometimes more athletic and at other times a more meditative practice, yoga has been a steadying and grounding influence in her life. Her love for the practice continues to grow every year.
