Please join us on Sunday, April 25th as world-renowned yoga and meditation teacher, Padma presents ‘The Elemental Series Workshop.’

Ready to take your practice to the next level?  Delve deeper into your yoga practice and discover how the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space affect you and your practice.  You’ll also learn how the elements affect your physical, energetic, mental, intellectual and spiritual bodies and how we can connect to their powers within us.  This workshop will include classical hatha yoga exercise, breath techniques to deepen your yoga practice and awaken your spiritual awareness.

Many of you will remember Padma from our Yogathon last May, where she made yoga, meditation and yoga philosophy accessible to all.  She truly is an inspiration.

Padma holds a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Biology from McGill University and is the host of two nationally syndicated TV shows called “Padma Yoga: The Elemental Series” and “Living Yoga with Padma”.  She has travelled extensively, teaching international courses, workshops and retreats across Canada, the USA, France, and Japan.  To all of her teachings, Padma brings a rich wisdom of physical, intellectual and spiritual knowledge. She aims to awaken freedom and inspire health in all aspects of our lives.  To learn more about Padma, please see her inspiring website at http://www.padmameditation.com/

All of next week (Feb 8 – 13) we’ll have some special treats at the studio (it’s ok, some of the “treats” will have zero calories!) and as always, we’ll make you feel oh-so-good while you’re in class (don’t get the wrong idea here!lol) 

But we’re also doing something a little extra special next week, kinda like a “Love Challenge”.  Everyone who comes in for a class next week will be entered to win a Free Synchrohearts game from fellow Mission yogi, Bobby O’Neal. 

And, your name will be entered into the draw for each and every class you attend next week – so the more you come, the better your chances to win this inspiring board game. (which makes a great Valentine’s gift, by the way – I’m planning on playing the game with my husband this Valentine’s)

And of course, we are always called to show and express our Love, to Love unconditionally, to Love and be Loved in return.  So see if this week of Love, can inspire you to Love – Love others, but don’t forget to Love yourSelf.

AND THE WINNER IS: Shelley M!  Congratulations!  Shelley has won a Synchrohearts Game, donated by Mission’s very own, Bobby O’Neal!!!

Again, thanks to everyone who participated and visited the studio in December!  Here’s to 2010 and a year filled with Yoga!

What a great morning! 19 of us came out to our special Family Yoga Class on Christmas Eve morning.  Poses like “Christmas Tree”, “Downward Facing Reindeer” and “Turkey Pose” were a lot of fun and very festive!

This class was Free, but we graciously accepted donations for the Food Bank.  See you next year!

17 of us came out to welcome the Winter Solstice as Andrea guided us through 2 transformative meditations.  Symbolically saying goodbye to the darkness and welcoming the Light.

This class was Free, but we graciously accepted donations for the Food Bank.

The more the merrier!  Your friends and family came to yoga for FREE with a donation to our local Food Bank. 

On a side note, we accepted donations for the Food Bank all month long.  Thank-you for your generosity.

The winner will receive (bragging rights) and a FREE 5 Class Pass!!

And even if you’re not sure how many times you’ll be able to make it (although I would encourage you to keep your practice up; the holiday excesses of food, wine, shopping and partying need to be balanced with some peace and quiet and yoga)  Sorry, I got off track, as I was saying, everyone who signs up for the 12 Days of Yoga Challenge will be entered to win a COUPON FOR 25% OFF YOUR NEXT PASS!

The sign-up sheet is at the studio.

Oh, I almost forgot – the Discount!  If you purchase your Monthly Pass between December 1 – 12, you will receive a 12% DISCOUNT*!!  * The discount only applies to the Monthly Unlimited Pass.

Thank-you so much to everyone who came out for this fun, festive, ethical evening in our brand new location!  We had a tremendous response and so enjoyed hanging out with all of you… and nibbling on all the treats!

Our kids were there doing a bake sale with all of the proceeds going to Shanti Uganda and they raised $73!!! Way to go guys!  We are so proud!  And how about those muffins?!

Shanti Uganda was there with handmade paper jewellery and bags, and 100% of the proceeds will help support women and children living with HIV in Uganda. Monica’s Mobile Massage doing chair massages… ahhhhhh.  Michelle Cervo Photography had some amazing photos and bookmarks.  Julia with Arbonne Vegan Skincare and Brenda with Monavie also contributed to Shanti Uganda.  Bonnie Dobbin’s Art Prints and recyled books were beautiful.  And Kim Pechet was on hand doing Tarot Card readings, donating $5 from each reading to Shanti Uganda.
