Slow departure
Go to a wide open space,
Gaze without looking anywhere.
The mind stops its building of thoughts,
And rests on its own foundation -
Immensity.
The light that you see by
Is the light that comes from inside.
~The Radiance Sutras, Loren Roche
Meet Your Hosts
Amy Haysom
Kristyn Rose Foster
Kristyn is a true explorer, inside and out. With a deep love for travel and meeting kindred-spirits around the world, she love the thrill of exploring new places and taking the path less travelled. Nature is her home. You'll often find her barefoot foraging for mushrooms in the forests, swimming in wild rivers, or free-diving to the bottom of the ocean. She lives a yogic lifestyle and weaves elemental and lunar wisdom into her offerings, honouring mindfulness practices both on and off of the mat. Her offerings invite you to slow down, turn inward and ask the bigger questions in this life. Create the time and space to notice what you need, what you are calling in and what you are letting go of.
Amy is committed to finding the connections between our yoga practice, our creative spirit, our relationships with one another, as well as with the natural world. She weaves joy and creativity into the practice and her students are invited to do the same. Amy is a mother, and often co-creates family and youth classes with her daughter Mayana. She teaches yoga and self awareness inquiry practices through adventures in the outdoors, social and environmental activism, and through music and the creative arts! She believes in exploring the practice through fun and creative ways to invite us to experience Self inquiry as an adventure!
