Snow Thoughts and the Week Ahead




Happy Sunday All!

The snow continues to fall in Toronto, and there is so much beauty in it.


Growing up in Hudson, Quebec we had mountains on every corner - snow piles that were left behind when the plow came through. The big sledding hill was at the golf course, and my brother and I have fond memories of racing down the 18th hole at a breakneck speed, sometimes jumping the creek at the bottom, and sometimes not.


Soaker.


We would come inside and put our drenched socks and snowpants on the fire and have hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallow (of course all three is the best) while my mum sipped a white wine spritzer, and my dad had a scotch on the rocks. We would scarf down a tiny basket of plain potato chips and watch the curlers toss giant rocks down the smooth ice with the bullseye below, sweeping furiously while the ballet of their feet glided below, seemingly detached from their bodies.


Snow days fill us with memories, and I hope you make some this weekend. I have taken time for walks with friends and on my own, and epic marathon phone calls that always fill my cup.


I also hope you are taking time to relax.

TESTIMONIAL:


"As a former fitness and spinning instructor, I respect and admire Erin’s adaptable and flexible approach to exercise. I am in my mid-50s and have had several injuries which have led to me taking a break from exercise (to my detriment). When I started Erin’s program last year, I couldn’t do pigeon pose on the right because of arthritis in my knee. Now I can do it no problem with no pain. Erin’s mobility classes every morning keep me limber, her strength classes have made me stronger, the functional exercises help me do real-life things, her yoga helps me reflect and stretch, and spinning keeps my cardiovascular strength healthy. She always offers multiple ways to do an exercise for those who need adjustments, and she never makes anyone feel “less” because they need an adjustment. And finally, if it’s too hard to drag myself out of bed in the morning, I know that the portal is there for me later in the day. SO MUCH VALUE. I love you, Erin! You have made my life better."
