School Wellness Programs

We offer comprehensive secular wellness sessions for students K-12. Our lead instructor Amber Pavey is an expert in her field as an experienced teacher with over 2 decades of teaching experience, in addition to certifications in yoga (250 hour YTT) and mindfulness (350 hour CMI).

Our programs provide evidence-based mindfulness practices, and youth yoga (if space permits) to help students cultivate focus, concentration, calm, improved self awareness, and emotional regulation with a focus on social emotional learning.

Lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate and based on developing sensory attention (paying attention to the breath and senses) as well as equanimity (learning to accept the thoughts and feelings of the present moment as they arise). Our programs prioritize curiosity, compassion and self-connection. All of our lessons are intended to help students improve their brain, breath and body connection.

School programs and sessions align to the Alberta Curriculum and are customized to suit the needs of your environment, budget, and timeline.

*Our instructors are Alberta Certified Teachers with specialized training in yoga & mindfulness for youth.

Amber is a Beautiful, gentle and welcoming Soul.

As an empath and a sufferer of fibromyalgia, the turmoil of the world the past few years has caused me ongoing physical pain and tension. I needed guidance to overcome this as well as rescue my mental health. I have found my “medicine” in Amber who has a balanced approach to yoga knowing exactly what the mind and body needs to come into alignment. Her wisdom in her yoga practice and teachings has provided me with the physical, emotional and spiritual guidance that I needed for healing.

Her space at Rocky Ridge Retreat is warm, beautiful and inviting with a breath taking full unobstructed view of the Rocky Mountains. A piece of Heaven on Earth.

Amber emulates sincere love and compassion in her teachings and I am grateful that she is with me on my journey. So Blessed.

We always look very forward to our weekly Tuesday night yoga with Amber.

Unlike many studios, we enjoy ample space and a serenely slow pace in this deep stretch Yin Yoga class at her stunning countryside studio. Amber greets each guest with sincere warmth, welcoming all levels and abilities into her space.

In fact, it's hard to believe that we can arrive in such a transformative environment in less than 15 min from our home in Lake Bonavista.

It's our weekly rejuvenation!

Amber’s expertise in the field of mindfulness, yoga and energy work (to name a few) have been extremely beneficial for our entire family. Rocky Ridge Retreat and its incredible surroundings offers a beautiful backdrop to retune, recondition and reset! The last few years have been tough on many, and the tools and techniques Amber shares pave the path towards ‘pressing the pause button’ more often. Not only is Amber at the forefront of this movement, she has helped our family to thrive at work and at home by teaching us that the best way to speed up is to actually to slow down.

Amber is an amazing educator, mom and friend. She cares deeply about children and their mental health. Amber has such a calming presence and is extremely knowledgeable in mindfulness. My children and I have benefited from the various sessions and camps Amber has offered over the years. Her new location, Rocky Ridge Retreat, is exactly that! A beautiful space that overlooks the Rocky Mountains and rolling hills. She has created both an indoor and outdoor area that allows for comfort, discussion and exploration. Taking a class or enrolling in a camp is a must!!

Rocky ridge retreat is breath taking!

The energy of the space, the view and the essence of Amber and what she brings into her practice is truly a gift. I leave my weekly class feeling like I just pampered my soul. Deep healing, grounding and love is always the experience I can expect when I attend her yin yoga and mediation class. Amber is a true gem, always full of light and showing up with authenticity and grace. Blessed to have this sacred being and her beautiful space apart of my weekly ritual.

I liked doing crafts, the sound bath, and also the breathing ball. I didn’t like it, I loved it.
