Themed Yoga Classes

During the month of March, the Studio will donate $1 to the One City Scholarship Fund for everyone participating in every yoga class, in person and online.

Please boost your attendance – perhaps try something new? an early morning series? a breathing session? a different teacher? – and help us help young people thrive.

Any additional donations you wish to make directly to One City are welcome and will receive a charitable tax receipt. Many thanks!

All proceeds go to the One City Scholarship Fund (www.onecityfund.com) supporting graduating Toronto high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds, who have excelled academically, with their college and university education. Scholarship recipients are hopeful and committed to making a difference. They are talented young people who are changemakers and community builders – not of our future, but of today.

Curving, continuous movements, the hallmark of Qi Gong, are rare in yoga and introducing circles, figure 8s and spirals – mentally and literally – warms and lubricates all the systems of the body creating an overflow of pure enjoyment and assuring us there’s always another chance, another beginning.

Discover yoga practice as a circle game of free movement, cumulative learning, awareness and delight.

Join us for fun and effective ways to improve our balance. We’ll develop the basics of balance through breathing, eyes, focus, hands and feet and stepping patterns. Plenty of ‘brain aerobics’ exercises are included that we can easily practise on our own.

A morning practice – pranayama, guided and silent sitting meditation, finishing with yoga nidra. Start your day here, right here. Energized, grounded, present, free, easy, infinite capacity. Everyone is welcome – both those new to meditation and experienced meditators.

It’s that time of year to Rise Up, awaken and renew the energy core within us, the spine. Let’s invigorate this glorious structure as we gently explore and weave together the breath with the movements within Sun Salutation. We’ll take our time basking in the different asanas that create this vitalizing sequence. This series is not about how many rounds we do – rather how we move mindfully from one asana to the next.

Julia’s class was brilliant. Her creativity to do Sun Salutation even lying down, her thoughtfulness and care and energy are inspiring. I always know I will feel safe and have fun experimenting with all the movements from simple to the most complicated. Delightful!

As human beings we need both movement and stillness to balance body, mind and soul. We will use movement sequences, familiar and new, to energize, ease and nurture. After each movement exploration we will rest in stillness and awareness. The temporal balance between these two states is different for each individual. There will be the opportunity to explore our personal relationship between activity and quiet, exuberance and rest, reaching outward and inward throughout the week.

Let’s spend one session on each sense in order to enhance our awareness of our environment, learn to use the mind productively and appreciate our ability to attend deeply to anything and thereby relax.

Postures, movement and breathing practice will be included every day.
