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.

an evening of kirtan.
Winnipeggers, it’s your turn: I hope you can join me at Yoga Public on Friday December 5th, for a lovely evening of music and mantra. As winter begins to reveal its frosty limbs, it is so nice to gather together and build joy and energy. Check this out to hear a sample of Kirtan from our summer events to get you in the mood!
a fall cleanse.
A change in seasons is the best time to cleanse the body: when the environment is in a state of transition, it encourages similar transformation within ourselves. This fall, the Ayurvedic Diet Cleanse Workshop will be on October 19th, 2-4 pm, at Yoga Public (Winnipeg, MB, Canada).
During the workshop, we will ground ourselves in studying the fundamental principles of Ayurveda, set our intentions for doing a 12-day cleanse and discuss its parameters. Taking simple but nourishing foods gives the body time to detoxify and re-establish a state of harmony and stability. During the cleanse, participants will have access to a private blog hosted by Adrienne which will have daily updates of recipes, philosophy and encouragement. This cleansing practice is an opportunity to purify the body, clarify the mind, and reawaken the spirit! No previous knowledge of Ayurveda is required to participate, and students of all dietary persuasions are welcome (specific concerns can be discussed privately with Adrienne).
Registration for this workshop can be completed online at www.yogapublic.com or by visiting the studio (280 Fort St, 204.947.9642). Please consider registering early; this workshop tends to sell out.
