One more MindFULLness workshop!

Please join Angie Pringle and I for the final MindFULLness workshop on Saturday, January 23rd, 2017 (3:30-5 pm, $35, Yoga Public). We will discuss how plant proteins are a great way to nourish yourself and take care of our planet. We deserve to eat well, but the way our food is grown can have a taxing effect on the environment. We will explore sustainable ways to affect positive change in the health of not only us, but the place we call home.

We are very excited to invite Ryan Pengelly of Tamarack Farms to join us and to share his personal stories of being a quinoa farmer in Manitoba! There will be an opportunity to buy his quinoa (cash only), and sample tasty treats made with his delicious crop.

Hope you can join us! Please register at www.yogapublic.com.

Ayurvedic Cleanse!

Spring is just around the corner – and with a change in seasons, it is an ideal time to inspire change in one’s body and mind. Join Adrienne for an Ayurvedic Diet Cleanse workshop (Sunday April 3rd, 3-5 pm, $50, Yoga Public) and learn about Ayurveda, a 5000-year-old tradition of healing. Learn how to:

– apply the fundamental principles of Ayurveda through a 12-day cleanse,
– discover diet and lifestyle practices suitable for your unique physical and mental needs,
– cultivate deeper self-awareness and harmony, and
– detoxify the body, refresh the mind and reawaken the spirit!

During the cleanse, Adrienne will host a blog for practitioners to receive daily updates of recipes, philosophy and encouragement. No previous knowledge of Ayurveda is required to participate. Register at Yoga Public (280 Fort St, 204 947 9642, www.yogapublic.com).

A kirtan in November!

Join us for an evening of chanting and music! Our friend Bahram is hosting us in his space at 3-1200 Portage Ave (between Erin and Wall Street) on Friday, November 20th, 6-8 pm. Kirtan is the practice of call-and-response chanting rooted in Bhakti (devotional) yoga. All are welcome and no experience is necessary. If you have one, bring a meditation cushion to sit on. There is no pre-registration; it is $25 at the door and free parking on the street. See you there!

fall is here!

I’m not sure if it’s because I was in school for over 20 years, or if fall is really magical, but September feels more like the beginning of a new year to me than January. I’m really looking forward to delving into practice and sharing that with you as the weather cools. The weekend vipassana retreat on October 3-5 with Jonathan Austman is full already, but there is still space in the Ayurvedic Diet Cleanse Workshop at Yoga Public on October 19th, 2-4 pm! A change in seasons is a great time to reset, let go of the past, and make space for what is around the corner. I hope you can join me!
