I just wanted to put out a quick note about a local law firm.  I have had to contact Welwood Wiens & Warkentin , in Abbotsford, a couple of times this past year, regarding both business and personal issues.  Both times I was advised that the best course of action was no legal action at all. (to be honest, I found this a little surprising and quite refreshing)  Both of the lawyers I spoke with took their time, answered my questions and mapped out some possible courses of action.  I’ve posted a link to their site  www.w3law.ca    Hopefully, you will have no need to contact them, but if you think you do need some legal assistance, it might be worth checking out their site.

On July 11, 2009, almost two thousand people participated in the Camp Moomba Yogathon to raise awareness and funds for children impacted by HIV/AIDS. Participants collected pledges prior to the event and then on the event day as they convened to practice yoga.

UBC Thunderbird Stadium hosted Canada’s largest outdoor gathering of yoga instructors, yoga students and people in the ‘health and wellness’ industry. The event also included a Blissfest Marketplace and Food Fair, a showcase of local consumer products, services and delicacies, a fashion show, and special musical performances by Eileen Rothe and the Ghost Brothers!

Mission Yogis were out to this great event!

Dads, role models and father figures in your life honoured!

We challenged our students to come to as many classes as possible between June 15th & August 15th. The goal was at least once or twice a week, every week, all summer long! Michelle came to the most classes (27) and she won a 10 Class Pass! The runner up was Isabel (26) and she won a 5 Class Pass!  Thank-you to everyone who participated – you are one committed group of yogis!
