Well, we tried to film an episode in Baddeck, Cape Breton...and the bugs won. The lighting was perfect from 530-6am, with no bugs anywhere! This is just long enough to get set up. 😒 The mist and fog rolled in until noon and then the day was gorgeous again - with a buzzing or black flies...lol..so we put on our nets and loads of spray and headed out to hike for scenic shots to share. It will be a stunning episode, but the yoga will be shot at home in our bug free studio ..lol.

Well, we are officially on the island of Newfoundland! The 8-hour ferry ride from Cape Breton was fantastic. I must have got at least 3 hours of yoga in...lol...and I have a sunburn across my face to show it!
Before leaving the Sydney harbor we visited the Alexander Graham Bell museum which we are excited to share with you in an upcoming Chair Yoga episode. 😁🧘

Hi everyone! As I'm sure you've learned by now - radio silence means plans are being formulated! John and I are VERY excited to announce advancements in our filming and locations. :)
If you are enjoying the the Gentle and Mat Yoga classes, you can look forward to a variety of stunning locations, with scenery and sites you may not be able to see in person. Perhaps these classes will even inspire you to explore and take a trip! ..And see that you can maintain your practice anywhere.
Chair Yoga folks can get ready for classes with more entertainment, while our family shares education about towns, parks and sights where the classes are filmed. You can be a part of a mini-holiday and explore something new while you stretch and strengthen during your yoga time!
We launch this addition to classes late summer 2024, as we take you to Newfoundland and Cape Breton. Enjoy your classes with icebergs, zip lines, small towns, gorgeous parks and epic scenery, all from the comfort of your own home!

John has been busy clearing trails and building on the Sparkle Life property! It may only be accessible by canoe (for now), but the first yoga deck is taking shape!
A gorgeous area, tucked in, right off the back of the pond, has been leveled and have the base is down. The sun hits it straight on, for best sunrise location!

Sparkle Life TV's 'Guide To Your Goals' is workbook, designed for YOU to create your health and wellness goals - so they last.
In the 'Guide To Your Goals' video (in New and Updates) - I walk you through the workbook, using my own goals as the example so you can create a unique plan that addresses YOU specifically.
We're all in this together! I'm doing it too...sharing it all with you. :)
Watch the video
Download the workbook from "resources" that go along with the video (most of you have opted out of emails - so I can't send you anything...lol )
Tell me about it here on the community page
Happy 2023 - I'm so excited to do this together!

The lofty goals we are encouraged to set by the health and fitness industry are abounding!!!
I have a different approach for all of us here on Sparkle Life TV!
I DO NOT have pre-made plan. Every body is unique. Our goals are different and I have always believed - one size does not fit all.
I'm going to guide you to and through a program that YOU create, because you know your time commitments, and you know what activities you enjoy doing. If you like gentle yoga or chair yoga – then those are the classes you'll use to reach your goals. If you like fitness, working with weights and doing cardio, then then those are classes you'll use for your plan. Mat yoga is your main focus? Great – your whole plan can consist of Mat yoga!
A successful plan is only successful if you can sustain it – so let's create it together, based on what you already works for you. You know you can do, and what you enjoy.
Your plan starts as soon as you have it ready. You'll track your progress along the way and have access to support, encouragement and accountability right here, in our community page – where we are all in this together.
Watch for your workbook through email on January 1st.
Watch the "New Years Workbook" video in the “News & Events” category, also coming out on January 1st.
I'll walk you though it all, step by step, and share my own goals, my personal answers to all the questions, and I use my own plan as an example to help you set up yours.
Let's create the perfect, personal plan for YOU. It's going to be a fabulous year!

Wylee the bun has no idea how good he has it.. or maybe he does.. ?
If he's not snuggled like a baby, or having Calvin and Hobbs comics read to him, he can be found lounging by the fire with his BFF Murph.

Getting ready to film part 3 of the Mat Yoga Standing Strong series. I LOVE winter here. Curled up with a rabbit and dog waiting for my espresso and soy to heat up on the wood stove.....It's these slow simple pleasures that start the day right.
