mindful yoga
 Clearlight’s Mindful Yoga classes offer a mindful approach to asanas (postures), practical core-strengthening work, balancing breathing exercises, and relaxation with meditation, all to cultivate the many benefits of yoga - including strength, flexibility, calm and overall well-being.
These day and evening classes are a synthesis of Kripalu Hatha Yoga, Pilates-Inspired Bodywork, along with Nondual Wisdom teachings as embodied by BodySensing and Yoga Nidra meditation.
Mindful Yoga supports a wide variety of experiences… some attend to improve the health of their bodies, some to reduce the stress in their lives, some to nourish the spiritual aspect of their life’s journey... and some are drawn to deepen the exploration of Wellbeing that emerges from practice.

pregnancy yoga
 Pregnancy yoga provides a safe and supportive context for pregnant women to come together – sharing in a practice designed to promote optimal health and wellness for both mom and growing baby.
These yoga classes are specifically designed to support a more comfortable and healthy pregnancy, and to prepare for labour with special practices of movement, breathing and meditative techniques.
The focus of the classes is three-fold: movements for ease and endurance during pregnancy; breathing to relax and focus the body-mind; and essential techniques to help stay focused, empowered, and flexible during labour.

Clearlight Gerald, MA, C-IAYT, E-RYT500, RPYT, founder and director of Yogaspace Studio,
 is a leading expert in the field of mindfulness-based yoga and meditation for pregnancy, for childbirth and for motherhood, and has guided thousands of women in all stages of their lives for over 20 years.
Based in Montreal, she is a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) and a professional-level yoga teacher (E-RYT500, RPYT), with students locally and internationally. Clearlight is a founding member of the iRest Institute in California, where she holds credentials as a certified iRest meditation teacher and is an iRest Mentor, Trainer and Certification Supervisor for the teacher training program.
Clearlight shares with her students the teachings and transformative understandings that have emerged from close mentorship with her teachers Richard Miller and Joan Ruvinsky. She combines her decades of immersive study and engagement in yogic wisdom teachings with a grounded and skillful application of physical practices. Her background includes many years of professional tutelage in therapeutic yoga and rehabilitation exercise, and has had the privilege of attending many births – all supported by a deep understanding of the complex issues relevant to women’s experiences gained in her life experience (including as a mother of twins) and in her intensive graduate studies.
Clearlight passionately shares practices and strategies that transform, enlighten, and empower women to navigate life’s joys and challenges from a place of grace, wisdom and confidence… and offers ways to reclaim a unwavering sense of wellbeing amidst the ups and downs of life’s journeys.
Finally, since the question does come up so frequently, it must be shared that Clearlight was named Clearlight at birth by her mom and dad, and that she feels a deep gratitude for this beautiful gift from her parents!
