30 Day Challenge

How does it work?

We host two 30 Day Challenges every year, and they are powerful ways to build your confidence, create community, and completely transform your life. The idea is to build a daily habit of practice, positively impacting your health mentally, physically, and spiritually. Over the years we’ve witnessed transformations of all sorts, and incredible community at the studio. The challenge brings an encouraging and engaging energy, and the studio is THE place to be during it. For every class/talk/masterclass attended at DLS, add a colourful sticker to our chart to track your progress.

The goal is to get to 30 classes (Masterclasses or Sol Sessions) within the 30 day period, so doubling up some days is a great way to meet your mark if you can’t come daily. Our class schedule is structured in ways to help, such as having a gentle class immediately after a challenging one, offering a back to back option that really works to your benefit.

We offer specialized Masterclasses during our Challenge to aid you in your practice and bring it to the next level. Watch this page for the schedule!

Our annual Sol Session Series is a part of the Challenge, allowing you to take your yoga off the mat in a new way. A Sol Session (our version of Ted Talks) counts as a class in the challenge, and they can be attended both in person and virtually. Learn more here!

We’re so excited for you to join us in this fun and uplifting time!

See you on the mat soon!

Fall Challenge: October 15 - November 13, 2024

Challengers, mark your calendars for the final completion and prize party: Wednesday, November 13th, 6-8pm (last day of challenge, counts as a sticker!)

Yoga-Dance-Flow Masterclass

Saturday, October 26th

Join Jodie for a class designed for those who love yoga and feel called to explore new ways of moving, finding freedom in the body, and tapping into the flow within you. Yoga-Dance-Flow takes place on and around your mat as you are guided to explore new ways of connecting to the body and space within and around you. It links traditional yoga poses, elements of dance, breathe, and music to allow you to release, express, connect, play, and have fun. There is no prior dance experience required, only your openness to a new movement experience.
The Essence of Intention: Combining Yoga Flow and Psychotherapy Masterclass

Saturday, November 2nd
4:00-5:15pm, Moon Room
Join Emily and Lenka on a unique experience to explore and embrace your soul, psyche, and body.
In this workshop, you will be lovingly guided and supported as you work through mental blocks, spiritual weight, and physical obstacles. The essence of intentionality will be explored in the realms of yoga practice and psychotherapy work.
This workshop will encompass grounding exercises, breathing techniques, psychotherapeutic exploration, and an intention-filled yoga flow. "The Essence of Intention" is meant to strengthen self-compassion, let go of self-sabotaging cycles, and create a life where values and spirit can harmoniously coexist. Guided therapeutic exercises will help you externalize your thought patterns and life narratives that prevent you from living an intentional life. A conducted yoga flow will support you through releasing and healing your inner obstacles. Expect to conclude this workshop taking home with you a renewed sense of intentionality, increased self-awareness, and adaptable techniques to incorporate into your life.
You will be provided a specially-created notebook for this workshop to write down thoughts, experiences, and questions. Feel free to bring along any other objects or writing materials that may accompany you in your healing. The provided notebook will include cognitive and behavioral psychotherapeutic exercises to integrate your experience from the workshop into your daily life.
Vagus Nerve Restorative Yoga & Reiki

Saturday, November 9th
3:30-4:45pm, Moon Room
Join Katie Stevenson on a restorative journey to soothe and regulate the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is the primary channel of the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls our body's rest, digest, and immune responses. When activated, this system promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and restores balance to our physiological and emotional states. Through gentle yoga poses, breathwork, and Reiki energy healing, this class encourages the body to engage its own self-healing abilities. The combination of Reiki energy healing adds an extra layer of therapeutic touch, promoting energetic balance and facilitating a profound sense of ease and calm. This class will leave you feeling deeply nurtured mind, body, and spirit.
