Meditation from the Mat

We can easily practice santosha in the beautiful moments and joyous experiences of our lives.  But Patanjali asks us to be equally willing to embrace the difficult moments. 

               ~ Judith Lasater

Santosha is the practice of being still with faith, with an open heart and an open mind.  We have an opportunity to do this in the postures that we like and the postures that we don't like.  Watch your reactions as you move from posture to posture.  Where does your mind go when things are going well?  Where does your mind go when things are hard?  Can this moment ever be enough?.......
                   

Health & Wellness  

If you are feeling sick, are coughing and sneezing we appreciate the fact that you feel yoga will help make you feel better.
Please be aware that the other practitioners & teachers in the room really don't want to catch your illness or cold.
Please practice at home or take a few days rest in these circumstances.

Karma Program  

If you are interested in exchanging unlimited yoga and a place on our 'Karma' team for ~3hrs of tasks around the studio a week please drop us an e-mail.
Parking   

The entrance to our parkade is at the back of the building off 18th Ave. and is available to you for $2 a class. You need to purchase the exit passes from our front desk. The parking level 'P3' has a back entrance to the studio.

It's a convenient option if you don't feel like finding a free 2hr street parking spot!

Movie Night - cancelled 

Unfortunately we overlooked the fact that we have a big, bright studio and it doesn't get dark until too late to host a movie!

We will reschedule this movie (Naked in Ashes) in the fall. 

Ashtanga Classes

Our Ashtanga classes are changing format slightly.  Now called just Ashtanga.  No more Level I or Level I/II. 

 

They will now be multi-level classes which follow traditional primary and second series sequencing.  Modifications and adjustments will allow newer students to feel guided at their level, while assisting experienced practitioners further in the practice.
This class is paced at a moderate cadence and is deeply cleansing as well as strengthening to body and mind.  Ashtanga Yoga is the root of many forms of yoga known today, it is an essential addition to your yoga experience.

Nicki Doane is back in October   


Nicki DoaneJust to give you the heads up!
Nicki will be here for another inspirational weekend workshop from October 7th-9th 2011.
