It’s time for a reset! Feel vibrant, happy, and resilient in 2022 by aligning with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga to build healthy habits for life.

Date: Wednesday December 8, 2021
Time: 7–8:30 pm

January 1 might feel like an arbitrary date upon which to build a new outlook, and in some cases a new life. But this celebration has deep roots in history. After the Winter Solstice, a time of equal day and night, our days stretch out longer and extend further. Our bodies feel this transition – even in our modern world of artificial lights, shift work, and alarm clocks. So, January is a good time to put in place new rituals and add some healthy practices to familiar routines.

Join me in this 90-minute talk that will combine the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga paired with behavioural science to learn how to build healthy habits to help you shine – inside and out. In this talk we will dive deep to give you some new tools and techniques to start your journey to a healthier, happier, and more vibrant life.

The holiday season is coming! If your stress levels are rising, Ayurveda and Yoga can help you boost your resilience.

Date: Wednesday November 24, 2021
Time: 7–8:30 pm

While the holidays should be a time of joy and peace, for many of us they can also be stressful. Planning gatherings, visiting family, buying presents, worrying about budgetary constraints, battling holiday traffic—it can all add up!

But what if instead of getting swept up in the tide of the season, we instead initiated habits now to help eliminate the discomfort we’ve come to accept as normal at year end – exhausted, bloated, broke?

It’s entirely possible to sail into the New Year grounded and healthy and partake in all of the celebrations and beautiful traditions that give the season it’s meaning! Yoga and Ayurveda offer a wealth of simple, easy, natural ways to take the edge off stress around the holidays and otherwise.

Join me in this 90-minute talk that will combine the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga with western behavioural science to build some new healthy habits that will help you manage stress now, through the season, and beyond. In this talk we will dive deep to give you some new tools and techniques to start your journey to a healthier, happier, and more vibrant life.

My favourite part of yoga is the coming together of people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, ages, and interests to breathe, move, and share the same experience. The community is why I return every day as a teacher and as a student. When I first heard about the government orders to stay at home, my biggest concern was the impact of isolation on health. We are social beings and we need to be around other people. Dozens of studies show that spending quality time with family, friends, and community is the secret to a happier, healthier, and longer life.

Community is about union and connection. A yoga community allows you to feel comfortable. It allows you to feel like you can be yourself, instead of just attending another yoga class. A community helps you grow, not only as a yogi, but also as a person. A community motivates you and allows you to build connections – to learn from each other, to share your struggles and your successes.

So how do we build community when we can’t be physically together? Yoga is adapting to this by creating communities in different ways. We’re using facebook live, YouTube, Instagram, and live-streamed classes on zoom. There are lot of different options out there for collaborating, for gathering virtually, and for trying to gain that community that we’re all craving without actually being physically together.

I encourage you to join an online public class, either by yourself or with a group of friends. Come and build the kind of yoga community you want to be part of. At Slowpoke Yoga we welcome everyone, whether you are new or a seasoned yogi, to join and share your practice with us.

Until we see each other again (online or in-person),

Namaste
