Studio Closure Announcement
Doors closing February 28th, 2021
It is with heavy hearts that we are announcing the permanent closure of Vraie Nature Yoga & Mouvement.
The lockdowns and restrictions required since last March have sadly impacted our business to the point that it is no longer financially viable and we have exhausted our resources.
We are so very grateful to the community of students and teachers who have remained constant and supportive through the challenges we have faced due to the pandemic over the past year. We have enjoyed practicing with you in the Yoga tent at Hendrick Farm; on-line via Zoom, and for a brief few weeks in the Fall, back in our welcoming studio - thank you all.
You will continue to find us, and all of our teachers, in and around the community and hope that we may find ways to gather again when conditions allow; maybe even back in a summer tent! Until then, please take good care and stay safe.
You will find contact information below for our teachers at the studio who continue to offer their services outside of our studio space.
We are so proud to have had these amazing, talented teachers on staff over the years and hope that you will support them as they continue to run classes locally.

Brendalee Wilson’s availability for yoga instruction
Brendalee believes that everyone can do some form of yoga no matter what their level. She is available to give small group classes or private instruction in English, French, or bilingually and has extensive experience teaching people recovering from illness, such as stroke, or those living with chronic conditions, such as multiple sclerosis. Her approach is lighthearted and fun; she spends extra time on breathing instruction that can be helpful to musicians, athletes, and people who have difficulty sleeping.
Brendalee specializes in gentle yoga; somatics for neurological reprogramming and relaxation; Yin Yoga; and Chair Yoga for seniors. She delights in leading a traditional India-style Hatha Yoga class that includes vigourous Sun Salutations and breath work known as Pranayama. She also has a pretty mean sequence for working on very stiff hips and the lower back.
Classes will continue via zoom on these days:
