CLASSES & OFFERINGS June-July 2025

Let's keep this going!

Slow-paced movement practice

This class has been so therapeutic to the mind, body, and soul that I have decided to keep it going!

Join me for a few Sunday mornings for a slow-paced movement practice. It has been a nice way to end the week and reset for the next one.  

The following Sunday mornings from 9:30 am-10:30 am: June 8th, 15th, and July 13th, 20th, and 27th. 

The cost to register for all 5 Sundays (unfortunately, no refunds or credits if you have to miss or cancel with or without notice-no exceptions) is $50 ($10/class). Drop-ins are $20/class (same no-refund policy). Must register in advance!

If you are new, the property is located at 25013 Township Road 254, Calgary AB, T3R 1A2. It is off of Twelve Mile Coulee Road near the Coop in Rocky Ridge. Classes are offered on the outdoor deck with a view of my lovely horses weather permitting, and alternatively, in my onsite studio!

WAITLIST ONLY

Adapted 26 Poses

I used to practice Bikram Yoga religiously. It is the yoga I did the most in my entire life as a yogini. Despite the controversy around the man, I love the series. It gets me in shape quite quickly, and I'd like to get back into the routine.

I am trying something new: I will offer a Wednesday morning class for those of you who are home. It will be done in a regular temperature room (my perimenopausal body is happy about that) or outside (weather permitting). The series will be adapted and tweaked.

Schedule: Starts Wed May 28th-June 18th, 9:45 am-10:45 am

FULL-The cost to register for all 4 Wednesdays (unfortunately, no refunds or credits if you have to miss or cancel with or without notice-no exceptions) is $48 ($12/class). Drop-ins are $20/class (same no-refund policy). Must register in advance!

If you are new, the property is located at 25013 Township Road 254, Calgary AB, T3R 1A2. It is off of Twelve Mile Coulee Road near the Coop in Rocky Ridge. Classes on the outdoor deck with a view of my lovely horses in nice weather, and in my onsite studio alternatively.

FREE OFFERING

Just for fun! Come visit my recreational property in West Bragg! I have 22 acres of awesomeness. There's a lovely pond that we can float, swim, and canoe on, a trail to walk, and a magic tree (yes, you heard right-it's magical) where we can go make a wish!

Renting Space

Want to host your own workshop or class?

I love to see people shine and thrive doing something that fills their souls with purpose and meaning! Sometimes our jobs pay the bills, but we have fewer opportunities to engage in our passions! If you have an idea, come and host! It's only $40/hr to rent out the studio space I call The Little Red Barn of Joy or the outdoor yoga deck! You get to keep all the profit! (This does not include my entire property or direct access to the horses). It's your workshop! It does not have to be a yoga workshop; it can be anything at all! The studio fits 10 people for a non-movement workshop and 8 for a movement workshop. Please be advised that there is only an outdoor hose or access to water and a lovely clean outhouse.

Currently on hold for rentals, however, we will be resuming soon! Feel free to reach out and inquire regardless, if you want to discuss anything. Offered only upon availability.

Testimonial:

"Whether you’re hosting an event or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Marianne's property is a place where memories are made. One of the most enchanting aspects of Backyard Yoginis property is the gentle presence of the resident horses that peacefully roam the grounds. These majestic creatures add an extra layer of tranquility and charm, making every visit feel like a step back into a simpler, more harmonious time. Watching them graze and interact with one another is a delightful experience that enhances the overall sense of peace and connection with nature. The harmonious blend of natural beauty, exceptional facilities, and Marianne's heartfelt hospitality make it a venue like no other. I cannot recommend Marianne's Haven highly enough – it’s a place that will leave you and your guests with smiles and lasting impressions."
