Luna Podcast

Le baladodiffusion de Luna!

Après avoir fini mon cours en ligne un samedi matin, j’étais contente d’avoir vu tous ces visages que je voyais auparavant à Luna chaque fin de semaine, mais je me suis sentie aussi nostalgique. J’étais nostalgique d’un temps quand je pouvais connecter avec tous ces yogis venants au studio. Jusqu’à ce que Luna puisse réouvrir ses portes, je me suis dit pourquoi pas commencer des conversations et les partager avec vous ! Pour le premier épisode je voulais parler à Jennifer Maagendans, la propriétaire et fondatrice de Luna Yoga, pour savoir comment elle allait durant ces temps difficiles pour le studio, comment elle s’était adaptée à ce nouveau mode de vie lié à la pandémie de Covid-19.

Si vous êtes aussi curieux de savoir comment va Jenn, et d’entendre Jenn partager des souvenirs drôles à Luna, écoutez ce premier épisode de baladodiffusion et n’hésitez pas à nous joindre pour nous dire comment vous avez trouvé ca !

Luna has a podcast!

As I finished my online class one Saturday morning, I felt happy to see so many faces I used to see at Luna every weekend, but I also felt nostalgic. Nostalgic for a time when I was able to connect with the many yogis who come to the studio. Until the studio can open its doors again, I thought why not get some conversations going and share them with you! For the first episode I wanted to talk to Jennifer Maagendans, the owner and creator of Luna, in order to find out how she was doing during these challenging times for the studio and how she’s adapted to this new lifestyle during the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you also want to know how Jenn is doing, and hear about some funny Luna moments, check out this first podcast episode and don’t hesitate to reach out afterwards to let us know what you think!

A first step

With everything that’s transpired over the last few weeks, like many of you, I am horrified and outraged by much of what I see, hear, listen, and read. It’s also been a confusing time as I’ve been asking myself for days how I can help, where I can start, and what I can do to help support this movement and stand together. […]

From Luna yogi to chef

So you’re probably wondering who I am! Yes I am a chef from NYC, and yes I specialize in plant-based cooking. But you may be surprised to learn that I was once a front desk receptionist at Luna Yoga. We go way back! Well, at least back to 2013. I worked at Luna for a little over a year and it became my home away from home as an American in Canada. I felt a sense of community and comfort working there and practicing yoga. I even started to teach yoga towards the end of my time at Luna (and in Canada). […]

Hard Core : Strengthen your Pelvic Floor

Hard Core : Strengthen your Pelvic Floor

I never thought I would have an issue with my pelvic floor, I exercise almost daily, and I consider myself to be in pretty good shape. After giving birth to my second baby, I went for my regular check up with my osteopath. At the end of the check up he asked me if I was planning on doing physio for my pelvic floor. At that point in time I don’t think I had even ever heard of a physiotherapist who specializes in pelvic floor health. He informed me that it was regular practice in France; post birth all women were given a referral to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist. I remember him saying “If you broke your ankle, you would do physio to help recover. Post birth, your vagina has just been through a trauma, so why wouldn’t you do physio?”. His comment made sense, I had already noticed a difference in my body after my first baby. My second baby was breech, during pregnancy there was a lot of pressure on my pelvic floor, and post birth I knew my pelvic floor was not as strong as it used to be. […]
