The fall is often a time for new beginnings and new learning.  As children, the fall heralded a new school year, and as adults, many of us relate to this seasonal pattern; we’re ready for a new start and fresh ideas. Yoga can help us to maintain the flexible and curious mind of the life long student. It can help us to integrate the body and mind, guiding, informing and enhancing our life journey.

This fall, in addition to our ongoing weekly classes, we will be offering workshops in Vedic chanting, asana for meditation, yoga for fibromylagia, anxiety and insomnia (click on Workshops to view a wide variety of topics). We welcome Edward Brown back to our Studio, for the ninth year, to lead us in a weekend of his intelligent and delightful form of sitting and walking Zen meditation. His teaching is infused with humour, stories and gentle and purposeful guidance (click Special Events).

For those of you interested in expanding your yoga practice or becoming teachers, our Teacher Training Programme begins with a day long workshop on October 5. We will be hosting an Open House for the Programme on September 14 (click on Teacher Training). This event is free and open to all who are interested.

We are offering a number of retreats this fall at inspiring destinations in rural Ontario. Take a weekend to bask in the beauty of our natural surroundings and deepen your yoga and meditation practice (click on Retreats). Monica Voss will be leading her annual Yoga Holiday in Oaxaca, Mexico, in October/November.  Oaxaca is an enchanting destination and the Day of the Dead celebrations that are part of this retreat offer an unparalleled experience.  Consider attending an Open House for this trip on October 4 at 5:30pm.  All welcome, bring your questions.

If you enjoy travel to exciting and exotic locations, you may want to plan to attend a yoga adventure with us.  In addition to Oaxaca, we will be leading retreats in Tobago, Costa Rica and Israel this year (click on Retreats).  Dive into learning and adventure for the pure pleasure of it.
