We are extremely excited to announce that Padma will be coming to Mission!

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/

It’s that lovey-dovey, romantic, sappy time of year again!  And this year, we want to let you, our students, know how much we LOVE YOU!!!  Really, if it weren’t for you, fabulous you, there would be no Unison Yoga.  So we want to say “thank-you” for making us your Yoga Home.

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!!!

Shelley M! 

Congratulations!  Shelley has won a Synchrohearts Game, donated by Mission’s very own, Bobby O’Neal!!! 

Everyone who came to a class between Feb. 8 – 13 was entered into a draw, every time they came to class.

Thank-you for supporting Unison Yoga!  We LOVE our students!

After I mentioned running a Couples Yoga Workshop in the last newsletter, it occurred to me that Feb. 12th is the opening day of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.  So with that in mind, I’ve decided to post-pone the Couples Yoga Workshop March (date TBA)  So sorry for any confusion this may have caused, please feel free to call or email me.
