The wheel of time keeps turning, and despite the blanket of snow outside, spring is coming! At this time of year, I love seeing the neighbourhood squirrels become more active as the days get longer – with their biological clocks tuned into the rhythms of nature, they become more lively with increasing daylight and the coming warmth. Sometimes in the busyness of urban life we forget that we too are the same way; luckily yoga and its related practices remind us of our true nature. To welcome the seasonal change, we will be doing a Kirtan at Yoga Public on the Spring Equinox, Friday March 20th (7-9 pm, $10). As usual, my better half David Quiring will be accompanying my harmonium with his djembe. “Bolo” is the Sanskrit word for “chant/proclaim” – so please join us to do just that!

granola bars and other foods.
Thanks so much to everyone that came to the Om Nom Nom Nourish workshop at the Prairie Yogi studio this weekend! It was so lovely to share the practices of yoga and Ayurveda with you. If you are looking for the recipes for the Winter Sun Granola Bars and the Pumpkin Ginger Cranberry Snack Bars that I made for the workshop, please visit my food blog at www.twohollowlegs.wordpress.com.
Until next time, may you keep eating and living well!
Kirtan to begin 2015.
One of my yoga students, Bahram Moterassed, has an established psychotherapy practice that combines Western and Eastern techniques. In the spring he asked me to lead a Kirtan for him and his meditation students, and we are doing another to start off 2015! Of course, anybody is welcome to join us. It will take place on January 9th, 2015, 6-8 pm, at 3-1200 Portage Ave (in the Mediation Services building), Winnipeg ($10 suggested donation).
To get in touch with Bahram, please email him at contact(at)maykadeh(dot)org. Hope to see you there!
A day of silence.
My yoga teacher Jonathan Austman is leading a day of silent practice on Sunday, January 18, 2015, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. There will be guided seated and walking meditation, yoga, and a deliciously Ayurvedic and vegetarian lunch prepared by moi! If you are interested, please send Susan Claire (our lovely administrator and fellow practitioner) an email at: scjohnson43(at)yahoo(dot)com. Space is limited, so consider registering early. I hope you can join us for a contemplative day of study and practice.
