OUR MISSION - pyrrha
It's our mission to make meaningful and sustainable jewelry that fosters connection through personal storytelling.
––––
We create jewelry that has personal significance to the wearer. People connect with symbols and their meanings, and the individual way they resonate with their personality, ambitions, struggles or source of joy. Our intention with our talismans is to offer inspiration, connection, or simply a bit of comfort.


This week we have returned to orange phase which allows us to be open under strict measures. Masks must be worn at all times in the building, as well as during practise. We have lowered the heat for our hot classes and we are not renting towels and mats at this time. Our doors open 20 minutes before class time, and our bathrooms/changerooms are open to use, with showers only open for our noon class. If you have any 1 of the COVID syptoms, you must stay home and get tested before you return. This is to ensure of no spread in our space.
If you are purchasing an unlimited pass at this time, we are asking that our 1 class a day rule be respected while we are in orange phase. We have 10 and 20 class passes if you don't feel the value in your unlimited pass. Thank you for your understanding during this time. We appreciate all of you.

Ces derniers mois nous ont tous présenté des défis sur bien des niveaux. J'étais en grand besoin de me remonter le moral et de croire au meilleurs jours qui vont revenir.... éventuellement. Donc quand j'ai été proposé de retravailler mon tableau de visualitation, j'ai vite accepté la tâchei. Les heures de plaisirs que j'ai ressentit tout au long de ce montage en a vallu bien la peine. J'ai eu la chance de feuilleter au travers de belles revues de voyage ainsi que plusieurs revues de bien-être. En plus de belles images ceux-ci m'offraient des images, des mots clefs et sensations que je désire retrouver davantage dans ma vie. Ces heures m'ont rappelé de beaux moments vécus commen enfant qui travaillait les liste de jouets voulus pendant les fêtes et anniversaires. Je vous encourage fortement de vous amusez avec ce petit projet qui vous donnera d'lespoir et une joie de vivre!

There is no question we are collectively feeling the heaviness that has come with our new adjustments in our community and beyond. Here are a few ways that can help to lower feelings of fear and anxiety, and to spread some holiday PEACE and LOVE!
* Look after yourself... move your body everyday. Get your heart rate up, get blood flowing and let go of stress.
* Yoga and Meditation will always steer you in the right direction...inward! Attention to breath and mindful movement has the ability to calm the nervous system and bring feelings of peace into our lives.
* Support your local economy. Shop small and shop local this Christmas!
* Help others in the community who need a hand. Deliver a meal, groceries...call someone who needs to hear a voice.
* LOVE MORE... The world needs more love from us all!

Shannon Potter cas been making mala bracelets and necklaces that are the perfect compliment to a meditation practice. Malas are powerful and symbolic. Touching each bead as you say a mantra helps you keep track of how many times you've repeated the mantra. Choose one that speaks to you or have Shannon help you find one.

Ce que nos clients disent
Louise Poirier
I've been practicing yoga on and off for the past 15 years with an amazing instructor who closed shop in December. In January, I was given a one-month membership at PuraVida, and a true gift it has been. I had no expectations at the outset but was very pleasantly surprised to encounter welcoming, warm and very competent and respectful trainers who are both professional and friendly. The essence of the spirit of yoga can be found at this studio. The instructors I have met are encouraging and present challenges while still reminding students to move at one's pace, listening to one's body.Le personnel du studio Pura Vida m'offre l'occasion de pratiquer le yoga dans une ambiance accueillante et paisible qui me permet d'améliorer ma santé physique ainsi que mon bien-être psychologique, mais ce qui importe le plus pour moi est la tranquillité d'esprit qui me reste en quittant les cours. Un véritable cadeau!
merci particulièrement à Melissa et Chantel:)
