🎉Happy birthday to the founder of Reiki, Master Mikao Usui! Born on August 15, 1865 in Japan. After a 21-day meditation on Mount Kurama, he received a profound spiritual awakening and discovered his ability to heal with his hands. He coined this energy, Reiki! ✨✨✨ Usui's teachings emphasized spiritual growth, self-awareness, and compassion. He founded the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, a spiritual society of healers, and spent his life sharing Reiki with others. Let's take a moment to appreciate the impact of Mikao Usui's work on our lives. ✨🙌✨ #thereikischoolofenergyhealing #reikiteacher #reikimaster #reikiclasses #reikicourses #reikischool #reikicommunity #reikipractitioner #reikitraining #reiki #reikiteachertraining #reikipractitionertraining #annemariecaicco #mikaousuis #usuireiki #usui

Every time you step onto your yoga mat, you’re saying yes — to yourself, to your body, to your breath. It’s not about touching your toes or nailing the perfect pose. It’s about arriving. Here. Now. Your mat doesn’t judge the week you’ve had, the thoughts you carry, or the weight on your heart. It simply holds space…for you to move, to pause, to breathe, to release. Today, let your practice be your reset button. One inhale. One exhale. One step closer to the version of you that feels most at home in your body. ✨Your mat is waiting.

It wasn’t easy to get here. You had to commit to yourself. You had to push through the “I don’t have time,” the endless to-do list, the housework that could’ve filled your whole evening, the phone calls, the emails, the “maybe next week.” You could’ve stayed home. You almost did. But you came anyway. And then… you exhale. Your shoulders soften. Your jaw unclenches. Your mind stops running laps. Your body whispers, “Thank you.” In that moment, you remember— this isn’t just movement, it’s medicine. This is the pause that lets you keep going. And here’s the truth — it’s always worth it. 💛

This isn’t just rest. It’s resistance to the culture of burnout. 👉A nervous system reclaiming balance, one breath at a time. Nervous system before everything. Because your health literally depends on it. When the nervous system is dysregulated (stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn), the body stays in a chronic state of stress. And chronic stress? It’s not just a feeling. It’s a full-body event. 🔬The science: ✨Chronic stress increases inflammation, suppresses immune function, and disrupts digestion and hormone regulation. ✨Long-term activation of the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight) is linked to anxiety, depression, heart disease, IBS, autoimmune flare-ups, and even reproductive challenges. ✨Over 75% of primary care visits are for stress-related conditions (American Institute of Stress). ✨The vagus nerve is key to parasympathetic regulation and plays a critical role in emotional resilience, heart rate variability, and recovery from trauma. ✨Studies show mind-body practices like yoga, meditation, and breathwork can restructure the brain, increase gray matter in areas responsible for emotional regulation, and reduce cortisol levels. 🧠 In other words: Regulation isn’t just spiritual — it’s physiological. It’s preventative health care. It’s the foundation beneath mental clarity, digestion, immunity, sleep, fertility, and emotional stability. 👉 This is why we rest. Why we breathe. Why we slow down. Not just for a moment, but as a practice. Because nervous system first means health first. Your body deserves more than survival mode. 💛

Relaxation level: 11/10. Tonight’s Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath was pure nervous system magic. ✨ Still floating… • @glowcrystalbowls

NEW Monthly Meditation Offering The Pause. A moment to step away from the noise. This monthly guided meditation class invites you to slow down, soften your breath, and come home to yourself. Through stillness, breathwork, and gentle awareness, The Pause offers space to reset your nervous system, reconnect with your inner calm, and simply be. Take the pause—you deserve it. 🔗 in bio to register or comment PAUSE and we will send it to you!

Nature doesn’t shout. It doesn’t rush. It just leaves signs…for those who’ve slowed down enough to notice.💛

This month, we’re so here for this kind of energy 👇 ✨Nervous system first, everything else later. ✨Saying no like our peace depends on it (because it does). ✨Moving slow on purpose. ✨Catch us journaling, napping, and cutting cords. ✨Schedule full of: breathwork, boundaries, and baths. ✨Hydrated, grounded, and slightly feral. We’re loving this August energy already! Are you with us? 😂🙏🏼☀️💛

Sometimes the darkness can feel overwhelming in this world. Let your beautiful, precious soul seek the good. Feed your spirit with beauty. Not as a way to pretend everything is ok, but to nourish your soul and your genuine nature. Let the beauty of the world remind you of the beauty you have within. #thehealingloft #mindbodysoul #healingjourney #saultstemarie #comeasyouare #beauty #seekbeauty #chooselove #choosetoseethegood

Signs you need a yoga class this week: ❒ You’ve been in a 3-day spiral ❒ You almost cried in a parking lot ❒ Your jaw is currently clenched Come breathe it out. Your mat is waiting 🫶🏼

Are you ready for the best sleep you’ve ever had? Late-night, lights low- candlelight. Glow Crystal Bowls vibrating. Blankets, eye pillows & sandbags waiting. Stretch in, lie down, and drift into guided Yoga Nidra with a layered in sound bath. Rest is not “nothing”—it’s repair. Come cozy. Come tired. Come as you are. (Cozy socks + layers welcome.) Join us at The Healing Loft for Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath on Tuesday August 5 at 8:30pm 🌙 • Free for unlimited members or use 2 classes from your class pass.

✨Reminder: Choosing yourself isn’t selfish. It’s magnetic. When you say yes to your own healing, you say yes to the life that’s waiting for you. Come soften. Come shift. Come heal. We’re here for it. 🫶🏼

The energy you carry into the weekend matters. Let it be grounded, soft, and entirely your own. We’re here cheering you on—for showing up, for resting when needed, and for doing the deep, beautiful work of being human. Happy Friday!✨🫶🏼

We’re feeling refreshed… because Bloom Kombucha is now available at The Healing Loft! 🌿✨ @bloomkombuchaco #thehealingloft #kambucha #summerfun #refreshing #saultstemarie #supportlocal #femaleownedandoperated

Everything we do here is offered with care: ✨ Not to push you harder, but to soften what’s heavy ✨ Not to change you, but to help you return to yourself ✨ Not to fill space, but to hold it This is healing with intention. Every practice. Every pause. Every breath. Offered with intention, love, and light. ✨

Didn’t “get things done”? You restored a whole human nervous system. Sometimes what looks / feels like “nothing” can be profound integration—healing, repatterning, repair and so much more. It’s everything. Rest is not nothing. 🤍

Even when I’m not on my mat, yoga is with me. ✨It’s in the way I pause before reacting. ✨In the way I breathe through discomfort. ✨In how I soften when I want to close off. ✨In how I return to presence—even when life pulls me in a thousand directions. Yoga isn’t just movement—it’s awareness, devotion, and compassion. It’s a practice of coming home to myself, again and again. The mat is where I remember. Off the mat is where I live it. 🖤 Do you feel this too? #yogaislife #beyondthemat #yoga #thehealingloft #mindbodysoul #breathe #alignyogamethod #livingyourpractice #yogaphilosophy #mindfulmoments #meditation #prana

Fast. Shallow. Tense. Or slow. Steady. Full. Your breath tells the truth about your nervous system — About how present (or not) you really are. Pause. Breathe deeper. Live softer. Because how you breathe… is how you feel, move, and show up in your life.

Pre-weekend movement just hits different. FRIDAY✨ 🖤 Pilates 10 AM 🖤 Flow Yoga 5:30 PM Before the busy, before the plans — Take a moment to move, breathe, reset. We’ll meet you on the mat.

✨ Teamwork in Tranquility! ✨ 🌿🌈 Under the vibrant glow of the “Peace” sign, we gathered to brainstorm new ideas and strategies to elevate your wellness journey. Together, we believe in the power of collaboration and positivity. Stay tuned for exciting updates and initiatives that will help you find your balance and thrive! 💖 @peacerestaurantssm #WellnessPartners #Peace #Collaboration #Teamwork #HealthyLiving #mindbodysoul

Something new and refreshing has arrived at The Healing Loft! We’re now stocking Bloom Kombucha — @bloomkombuchaco 🌸 Small-batch, woman-owned, brewed right here in Sault Ste. Marie. 🙌🏼 A beautiful complement to your yoga, reiki, or breathwork practice — nourishing both body and spirit. 💫 Big flavour. Beautiful ingredients. Local love. We’re obsessed with the taste — and we know you will be too. Come by and try a bottle! 🫶🏼

We set the space. You set the intention. At The Healing Loft, every candle lit, flower placed, and mat rolled out is part of creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere. But the real energy comes from you — from the intention you carry when you step onto your mat or into the room. Whether you arrive seeking clarity, rest, strength, or simply a quiet moment to breathe… your intention guides your experience. Come as you are. Set what you need. Let it unfold. ✨

✨Surrounded by sound, wrapped in stillness. Each bowl, each vibration, is an invitation to come home to yourself. Sound healing has a way of bypassing the busy mind and speaking directly to the body—calming the nervous system, softening the heart, and guiding you gently into presence. Whether you’re seeking deep rest, emotional release, or simply a moment to breathe… this practice is for you. 💗 NEW Class - Yoga Nidra Sound Bath 🗓️ Tuesday August 5 @ 8:30PM 🤍 Free for unlimited members - you can also use a 10 class pass (2 classes deducted) Link in bio to join or comment NIDRA below and we will send you a link to register.

The room is set. Your mat is waiting. Let’s move, breathe, and unwind together. See you on the mat💛

✨ You are made of magic. Not just in the moments when life feels light and easy — but even in the quiet, messy, in-between. Energy. Breath. Intuition. Healing. It all lives in you already. You don’t have to search for it — just remember.

Some days call for action. Some days call for slowing down. Today feels like the second kind. Inhale. Exhale. You don’t rush a rainy day. You let it be what it is—soft, steady, healing in its own quiet way. Maybe today is about simply allowing. 🌧️ Allowing your body to rest. 🌧️ Allowing your mind to wander. 🌧️ Allowing your heart to feel what it feels. That’s all part of the healing, too. 🌈

✨ Why We Include Hands-On Healing Touch is a language the nervous system understands. At The Healing Loft, we often use intentional, respectful hands-on healing to help your body shift from stress into safety. Whether you’re resting in a yin pose, sinking into savasana, moving through breathwork, or receiving Reiki—just one grounded touch can remind your system: ✨It’s okay to let go. ✨You are supported. ✨You are safe here. Hands-on healing can look like a light touch, energy work, or simply a presence beside you. We offer this gentle support in Yin, Restorative, Reiki classes, and breathwork journeys—always with care and always with consent. You’ll find consent cards in every class, and your boundaries are always honoured. Because healing happens best when you feel safe to soften.

Come As You Are. Messy. Tender. Curious. Quiet. Burnt out. Lit up. Somewhere in between.

The summer solstice invites us to pause — to honour the light, the growth, and the journey we’ve been on. This is a sacred midpoint. A moment to reflect on what’s unfolding in your life and what you’re ready to let go of. To return to your intentions and move forward with clarity and heart. What are you calling in this season?

Let nature show you the way back to yourself. Back to your breath. Back to your body. Back to yourself. This is the practice. This is the path. 📍Orphan Lake, Lake Superior Coastal Trail

Repeat after us: Thank you, body. You are strong. You are wise. You are enough. ✨🫶🏼☀️🙏🏼💛

Release. Ground. Let go. This variation of Prasarita Padottanasana (Wide-Legged Forward Fold) offers deep surrender for the spine, shoulders, and nervous system. Supported by props, the shape becomes less about stretch and more about softening into stillness. Allow the spine to decompress. Let the head be heavy. Feel the arms drape like vines. Let gravity do the work. This is the art of supported surrender — where the body rests and the breath leads. 🖤 For the nervous system 🖤 For the overstimulated mind 🖤 For the quiet inner release

This Is Your Sign To… 🌿 Slow down 🌿 Light the candle 🌿 Book the session 🌿 Feel what you’ve been holding 🌿 Choose rest without guilt You don’t need permission—but if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

🌱You Are Not Too Much For… 🌿 This space 🌿 This moment 🌿 Your breath 🌿 Your body 🌿 This community 🌿 Your healing Everything you are is welcome here.

Touch is a language. We use it to say: You’re safe. You’re not alone. You don’t have to hold it all. You can breathe now. You are seen. You’re allowed to receive. It’s okay to soften here. Your body is wise. You are deeply supported. ✨✨✨

✨NEW CLASS Restorative Yoga with Ascension Reiki Join us next week, Thursday June 12 at 7pm, for a deeply nurturing evening that weaves together the grounding power of rhythm, the gentle stillness of Restorative yoga, and the high-frequency support of Reiki energy healing. We’ll begin with a soundscape—bring your drums and rattles as we move energy through vibration and rhythm, creating space for release and realignment. Drums and shakers will also be available if you don’t have your own. Then, settle into a Restorative yoga practice guided by Sarah, while both Sarah and Anne-Marie offer hands-on Usui and Ascension Reiki as they move gently throughout the space. ✨Restorative Yoga: Supports the body in passive, fully supported poses, encouraging the nervous system to unwind and the body to open gently and naturally. It’s a beautiful way to release tension, improve circulation, and calm the mind. ✨Reiki: Helps to balance the energy system, reduce stress, and promote emotional and physical well-being. With both Usui and Ascension Reiki being offered, you’ll receive deeply personalized, high-frequency healing energy tailored to your unique needs. Space is limited—reserve your spot today and give yourself the gift of deep rest, renewal, and energetic alignment.

Sometimes the most healing thing you can do… is nothing at all. Viparita Karani — or Legs Up the Wall — is a deeply restorative pose that gently soothes the nervous system, supports circulation, and invites full-body surrender. ✨ Reduces swelling in the legs and feet ✨ Calms the mind and slows the breath ✨ Supports lymphatic drainage and venous return ✨ Relieves tired legs and low back tension Propped with a bolster and blanket, this version adds comfort and encourages even deeper release. Take 10 minutes here. Let gravity hold you. Let stillness restore you. You don’t always have to move forward. Sometimes the medicine is in being still. We have so many classes dedicated to just this - and we’d love for you to join us! Monday & Wednesday | 7:30pm Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday | 7:00pm

🎉Tonight marks the culmination of our Reiki Master Course at The Healing Loft, and I’m filled with gratitude and joy witnessing this remarkable group of Reiki Healers! The shift in energy has been palpable and truly special. ✨✨✨ Being a Reiki Master is not just a title; it’s a profound journey of spiritual growth and transformation. As we attune to the Reiki Master energy, our own energy evolves, our vibration rises, and we become vessels for the universal life force. This journey is about surrender, trust, and allowing the energy to flow through us. It’s a path of personal growth, self-awareness, and compassion. As Reiki Masters, we become facilitators of healing, not just for others, but also for ourselves. If you’re drawn to this beautiful modality, our First Degree Reiki course is perfect for those new to energy healing and new to Reiki. It’s a beginner-friendly program designed for personal growth, healing, and spiritual expansion. Many people take Reiki to deepen their connection with themselves and the world around them. Our Reiki courses are offered both in person and online! ✨✨✨ If you’re curious about Reiki or would like to learn more, please visit my websites or reach out directly to me at annemarie@thereikischoolofenergyhealing.com.

BECOMING✨ Every so often, you catch a glimpse of the person you’re meant to be—the one you envision when you dream big. That version of you isn’t far away. It’s a reflection of your deepest potential calling you forward. Keep going. Keep growing. Every step you take closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Nothing is out of reach. Tag someone who’s becoming. 🙌🏼

Unwind. ✨ Let go. Be held. We offer Yin & Restorative classes 5 days a week—so you have more chances to slow down, tune in, and truly rest. Supported by props and guided by breath, each practice invites you into deep stillness. Your nervous system will thank you. 🙏🏼

You are not broken. You are not powerless. You are whole. This is the heart of healing work—not to fix, but to hold space, to witness, and to walk beside one another as we remember the light within.

💕A Love Letter to the Breath💕 There’s something sacred about watching a person breathe. Not just the everyday breath that keeps us moving through life — but the kind of breath that cracks open something deep inside. The kind that shakes loose the stuck emotions we’ve been carrying for far too long. The kind that says, “I’m ready to let go.” Facilitating Somatic Breathwork isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love. Something I live. Each session is a ceremony, a gentle unraveling, a return to the body. And I get the honor of holding space while people remember what it feels like to be free, even for just a moment. There’s a unique kind of beauty in the vulnerability that surfaces during these sessions. Sometimes it’s tears. Sometimes it’s shaking, laughter, sound, or stillness. But always — always — there’s truth. The body doesn’t lie. It stores our stories, our traumas, our joys and heartbreaks. And when we breathe consciously and somatically, we give the body permission to speak. What I love most is that Somatic Breathwork doesn’t require you to explain, justify, or even understand what’s coming up. You don’t have to “figure it out” — you just breathe. The breath knows. The body remembers. And healing happens in ways that often go beyond what words can capture. I’m just the guide. The real work — the real magic — comes from within each participant. And every single time, I’m reminded of the resilience of the human spirit. This work has changed my life, not only through my own practice but through witnessing the quiet bravery of those who trust me enough to guide them. It’s the most beautiful kind of intimacy — raw, real, and restorative. If you’ve never experienced Somatic Breathwork before, know this: you don’t need to be “ready.” You don’t need to be fixed or healed or perfect. You just need to be willing. Willing to breathe, feel, and come home to yourself. The rest will unfold — one breath at a time. With love and deep respect,

Savasana teaches us that rest is part of the practice. The gentle sound of the chime is a signal — not to rush, but to move slowly, carrying that sense of peace forward. In that quiet space between resting and rising, yoga leaves its imprint — teaching us to return with presence, gratitude, and awareness. What’s your favourite sound to guide you out of Savasana?

There are many ways to be a mother. Motherhood looks different for everyone — but every version is full of courage, tenderness, and fierce, unconditional love. Today, we see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🙏🏼🤍

Came across this passage from Journey to the Heart by Melody Beattie, a beautiful daily meditation book that offers gentle guidance for inner healing, self-discovery, and reconnecting with your truth. This one is today’s entry—May 8—and it felt especially meaningful. Sharing it here in case you need the reminder too: “No matter what, love yourself. Love yourself, even if it feels like the world around you is irked with you, even if it feels like those you’ve counted on most have gone away, even if you wonder if God has abandoned you. When it feels like the journey has stopped, the magic is gone, and you’ve been left sitting on the curb, love yourself. When you’re confused and angry about how things are going or how they’ve gone, love yourself. No matter what happens or where you are, love yourself. No matter if you aren’t certain where you’re going or if there’s anyplace left to go, love yourself. This situation will change, this time will pass, and the magic will return. So will joy and faith. You will feel connected again—to yourself, God, the universe, and life. But the first thing to do is love yourself. And all the good you want will follow.” — Melody Beattie, Journey to the Heart (May 8) 🙏🏼🤍✨

💫Tonight I gathered together at The Healing Loft in Sault, Canada with a group of incredible students for class 3 of 6 of the Reiki Master Course! 🌟 We dove into profound discussions about the vibration of emotions, the possibilities for higher vibration realities, and we explored how Reiki embodies and radiates loving kindness. One of the highlights of the evening was guiding my students through an experiential exercise I call “receiving yin messages,” which helps them tune into the vibrational frequencies that may or may not be fully integrated into their system. This practice allows them to become more aware of their energy and to fill their energetic voids in order to embody a sense of wholeness and completeness. ✨✨✨ We also explored two powerful Reiki attunements. Students practiced working with the 4-symbol attunement to release what no longer serves them and the 6-symbol attunement to manifest their desires. Witnessing their growth and understanding was truly beautiful.💖 Our conversation extended to the importance of energetic protection, the transformative power of loving kindness, and the crucial role of maintaining a balanced energy system. I’m so proud of my students’ dedication to their Reiki journey and their commitment to spreading more love and light in the world. 💫✨🩷 ❤️ #ReikiMasterCourse #LovingKindness #EnergyHealing #SpiritualGrowth #ReikiClasses #reiki #reikicourse #reikihealing #reikischool #thereikischoolofenergyhealing #thehealingloftcanada🇨🇦

Our Glow Crystal Bowls are tuned to 432 Hz, often called the “heartbeat of the Earth.” This frequency is deeply grounding, calming, and restorative. It aligns with the natural vibrations found in the rhythms of the ocean, the rustle of trees, and the pulse of the earth beneath us. When we play these bowls, we’re not just creating sound—we’re syncing our bodies and minds with the pulse of nature itself. It’s why we feel more at ease, more aligned, more whole. In every tone, there’s an invitation to return—to balance, to presence, to the wisdom of the earth. When we listen to or experience sound healing at 432 Hz, it’s like tuning ourselves to the same frequency as the Earth, helping us feel grounded, relaxed, and energetically balanced.

No matter what today brings, you have everything you need within you—just start with a breath. 🫶🏼

This week’s mantra is here to guide your practice. A gentle reminder to stay rooted in who you are—especially in moments that ask you to shrink or bend. Let your practice be a place where you reconnect with your strength, your voice, and your quiet knowing. Let it echo through your breath, your movement, your stillness. Join us in the studio and embody this energy together. 🫶🏼

You don’t need a perfect routine—just presence. Roll out the mat. Take a sip. Breathe. That’s how we begin again. Even if the dishes aren’t done, the to-do list is long, or your mind is scattered—this small act of showing up is enough.

What if doing less could bring you more? More clarity. More breath. More presence. Give yourself permission to pause. Let your soul exhale — it’s been holding so much.

Your nervous system’s new favourite place.🫶🏼

Today’s the day — your voice matters. Show up, speak up, and vote for the future you believe in. 🫶🏼

The circle is ancient. A sacred shape found in the moon, the sun, the earth beneath our feet. It teaches us about cycles, about flow, about trust. The circle has no sharp edges, no corners to hide in. It asks us to show up fully, gently, truthfully. When we sit together in circle, we return to something primal— a knowing that healing is not linear, but round, always leading us back to ourselves.

You are whole, even in your healing. The cracks you feel are spaces where light can reach you. The ache you carry is a sign you’ve loved deeply. Let this be your reminder: You are allowed to take your time. There is no rush. You are enough, even now.

🔥Sphere weights. These 2 lb weighted balls are the perfect addition to your flow—helping you build strength, enhance stability, and deepen your body awareness. Created with the intention of sculpting, toning, and refining as you incorporate this duo of weights into your next movement/sweat session. You’ll find them regularly in our Energy Flow, Power Flow, Deep Flow & Mat Pilates classes. Ready to level up your practice? Let’s move. 💪🏼

Yoga is a personal practice— but it’s never something we have to do alone. There’s something beautiful about being supported— a gentle hand, a grounded presence, a reminder that you’re held. Whether it’s a cue, an adjustment, or simply shared breath in the same space, this practice reminds us: connection is healing. You show up for yourself— and we show up for each other.

Sound has a way of reaching the places words can’t. One breath. One pose. One vibration—and something inside you begins to soften. Join us Friday, May 9th at 7:00pm for a powerful evening of yoga and sound healing. We’ll move gently, breathe deeply, and close with the resonant tones of crystal singing bowls, harp and other instruments —guiding your body and nervous system into deep rest and renewal. Let this be your invitation to come back to yourself. Space is limited—save your spot early.

Every inhale is an invitation. Every exhale, a softening. You don’t need to go anywhere else or be anyone else— just breathe, and come home to yourself.

Sometimes the most powerful part of the practice is simply arriving. Rolling out your mat. Grabbing the props. Taking that first breath. Yoga isn’t about how deep you go into a pose or how long you hold it. It’s about how deeply you’re willing to meet yourself in the moment. Whether it’s movement, stillness, breath, or rest— Yoga offers a space to reconnect, reset, and return to what matters. You don’t have to show up perfectly. You just have to show up. 🤍

✨ Healing doesn’t ask us to rush. It asks us to return—to our breath, to our body, to our truth. ✨ You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be “better.” You just need room to breathe. Today, may you pause. May you come home to yourself. And may you remember: Even in the tender, in-between places, you are enough. You are healing. You are held. • #thehealingloft #healingjourney #comeasyouare #breathe #pause #inhale #exhale #love #light #compassion
