Principles of the Therapeutic Relationship, Ethical and Therapist Considerations
Sunday, February 1st, 9:00am - 5:00pm
Online and/or In-Person Training
With Monique Newton and Bonney Elliott
Private yoga therapy sessions require a unique set of skills. Yoga Therapists must be able to adapt to the individual needs of each client while also cultivating a professional, ethical, and sustainable practice. The therapeutic relationship extends beyond the actual session—it includes how we present ourselves as professionals, how we market our services, and how we structure and manage our yoga therapy business.
In this course, you will learn and practice the essential skills of listening, presence, and both directive and non-directive dialogue. We will explore the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship and how to create a safe and welcoming space. Ethics as applied to yoga therapy will be addressed, including scope of practice, professional boundaries, the evolving therapeutic relationship, and the importance of referral to other health professionals when appropriate. The role of self-reflection, self-awareness, and peer support will also be emphasized.
To ensure both ethical integrity and long-term sustainability, this module also includes practical business and marketing components. You will develop a business and marketing plan, establish fee structures, and learn strategies for promoting your services as a Yoga Therapist. Record keeping, accounting practices, and other business considerations will be covered as essential elements that support professionalism, boundaries, and ethical conduct.
The field of Yoga Therapy is growing, evolving, and gaining recognition as an important part of holistic, complementary health care. This course integrates therapeutic, ethical, and business skills to prepare you for a sustainable, professional yoga therapy career.
Learning Objectives:
Understand and adjust to individual client needs and develop a trusting relationship that fosters dialogue.
Put into practice their skills of listening, being present and using directive & non-directive language.
Have a full understanding of the ethics of Yoga Therapy and how to create a safe space for clients while maintaining boundaries and self-awareness.
Communicate when they require peer support.
Create a working business/marketing plan that considers a fee structure, record keeping guidelines and accounting practices.

The full moon can be a meaningful time for reflection and reset. Its natural cycle offers a helpful reminder to pause, reflect, release, and create more balance in both body and mind.
A full moon practice can also awaken our creativity and inner clarity. Whether you are working on creative projects or seeking fresh perspectives on life’s challenges, this is a beautiful time to let go of stagnant energy and make space for insight and renewal.
In this class, you will unwind and reset through slow, grounding yoga postures, allowing the body to open and the nervous system to settle. You will then move into a deeply restful Yoga Nidra—a guided, meditative relaxation that supports effortless release, inner healing, and integration.
This practice invites all to soften, to listen inward, and to welcome the spaciousness that the full moon brings.

An excellent workshop for runners, cyclists and those looking to ease knee pain and stiff hips, this MELT Method workshop will focus entirely on our hard-working lower half.
The MELT Method uses specially-designed foam rollers and balls to rehydrate fascial tissue (also called connective tissue). Areas of our fascia get dried out and stiff with repetitive motions and postures (in other words, just living life!), and the MELT Method is a technique to help hydrate this tissue back to functional health. As fascia is a distinct tissue from muscles, this is not a traditional foam rolling class! A pain-free technique, MELT is designed to ease fascial tension, bringing hydration to the tissue through gentle compression techniques.
Cost: $40.00 per person in-advance, $45.00 per person day of.
Maximum of 12 participants.
Location: PranaShanti Yoga Centre, 950 Gladstone Ave., Ottawa, ON. Studio: Soul Room.
About Rachel:
Rachel Lipton is a Level 2 MELT Method® Instructor and Registered Acupuncturist.
“I found MELT during the pandemic while trying to find a cost-effective way to manage my posture-based pain and tension areas. After practicing for two years, and using it while training for a short tri-athalon, I decided I couldn’t keep it to myself any longer! As a registered acupuncturist, I found the overlap between fascial function and the ancient Chinese meridians thrilling. I’m delighted to be sharing this method with the Ottawa community.”

Embrace the Winter with Music and Movement - Shakira Edition
Sunday, February 22nd, 2:00pm - 3:15pm
In-Person Class
Shakira is a globally celebrated artist known for blending her Latin roots with pop, rock, and world music, and for using movement as a powerful form of expression. Her work speaks to resilience, emotional honesty, and the freedom to move and feel without shame.
Add energy and rhythm to your winter routine with this 75-minute in-person class inspired by the music, movement, and spirit of Shakira. Drawing from her evolution as an artist—rooted in authenticity, emotional expression, and embodied freedom—this class invites you to experience movement as both expression and empowerment.
This practice blends yoga with fluid, dance-inspired transitions, allowing rhythm to guide pace and flow. Just as Shakira uses her body as a language of emotion, healing, and resilience, this class encourages you to inhabit your body fully and move with awareness and honesty.
You can expect:
A dynamic yet accessible yoga sequence with an emphasis on hips, fluidity, and embodied movement
Music-inspired flow that supports creativity, self-expression, and emotional release
A warm, engaging atmosphere that invites you to move intuitively and without judgment
Rather than focusing on effort or intensity, this class centres on enjoyment, connection, and the freedom to move in ways that feel natural and supportive. Like both yoga and music, the practice reminds us that movement can be medicine, expression can be liberation, and showing up as we are is an act of self-love.
Open to all levels, this class offers a refreshing, music-filled way to embrace winter through yoga.
