YOGA IN THE PARK

Fundraiser for the CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY

Sunday, August 23rd ~ Heritage Park, Mission BC

The weather was perfect and we gathered under an ancient tree to practice yoga and meditation in harmony with Nature. We had 26 amazing yogis come out for Yoga in the Park this morning!  And would you believe that this amazing group raised $365 for the Canadian Cancer Society?  Holy Cow!! In one hour!

The event would not have been possible without Andrea Exner, Deborah Clysdale and Norine Longmire-Aarons.  Thank-you for being such an inspiration! 

I’d also like to thank the gals from the Canadian Cancer Society here in Mission who came out this morning with free sunscreen, water bottles and info about all the work the CCS does for people in need.

Plus, we’re famous!  Well, sort of.  Thanks to Sarah from Country 107.1 Radio who came out to support the event and help us promote it!

In Loving Memory of: Victor Loffler ~ Robert Exner

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

During the week of June 22-27, men came to a yoga class for free! Men need Yoga! All the professional athletes are doing it and men all over North America are reducing stress, increasing their flexibility and realizing that “real men” do yoga!

“It’s time to take control of your health; Learn practical ways to reduce the risks of cancers.” Anne Arsenault from www.healthbrights.com presented this one hour, practical workshop. We had door prizes, tea and snacks!

Wasn’t May 3rd extraordinary?!

Our Yogathon fundraiser for www.shantiuganda.org raised almost $2000! Do you know how far that goes in Uganda? Thank-you to everyone who came out to support Shanti Uganda and to promote yoga and community in Mission. Our teachers (Natalie, Jaromey, Andrea and Padma) were truly inspiring, and the energy we created as a group was beautiful.

We had some great community involvement and would like to thank FRASER VALLEY BUILDING SUPPLIES for donating an outdoor clock which went to Nicole for bringing in the highest donation of over $200! Special thanks also go to our door prize sponsors: NATURAL REFLEXTIONS donated a $25 Spa Gift Certificate. The MISSION SPRINGS donated a $25 Gift Card. And STARBUCKS donated a huge tea basket. Thank-you! Please be sure to support these inspiring local businesses!

At Spring Equinox we’re leaving the long winter nights symbolically “coming out of the darkness into the light.” It is a time of renewal, transformation and rebirth. We focused on setting positive intentions for the coming cycle, clearing anything that blocks the flow of divine-universal energy. (The global collective consciousness holds a lot of fear, anger, worry, negative thought patterns.) In meditation we will clear these from our own energy field. Clearing the way for the new and the positive highest vibration of harmony, peace, joy and love to enter.

In the spirit of Karma Yoga, or selfless service, this class was complimentary. Andrea donated her time and Unison Yoga donated the space.

To help spread the health and wellness benefits of yoga, Unison Yoga hosted free classes on Saturday, January 24th!

Thanks to the friends and family that came to yoga for FREE with a donation to our local Food Bank!
