Hey everyone! It's great to have some new faces in our CommUNITY yoga practitioners, wellness enthusiasts, and yoga teachers and students.

Let's welcome these lovely souls by sharing some calming and inspiring moments...  Post a photo or simply describe how your yoga practice nurtures your overall health and well-being.

Let's continue uplifting each other with our stories of growth, encouragement, and relaxation.

Take this opportunity to connect with others who share the same passion for holistic wellness and ignite others' motivation through your own experiences! Keep spreading positive vibes throughout our amazing community!

I'll start...  If I miss a few days of practice, I feel it!  In every corner of my being.  My body craves the healing and the positive energy.  When I don't practice, even a simple Savasana, my body lets me know. 

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, observed in Canada, serves as an important reminder and opportunity for all Canadians to reflect upon and acknowledge the painful history and ongoing impacts of the residential school system on Indigenous communities. This day emphasizes the importance of truth-telling, listening, and learning in the ongoing journey towards reconciliation. Here's how the day is recognized today:

1. Awareness and Education: Many Canadians take the time to educate themselves about the history of residential schools and their lasting effects on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. Schools, workplaces, and community groups often host events, workshops, or discussions that focus on this topic.

2. Ceremonies and Vigils: Commemorative events, such as ceremonies or vigils, take place across the country. These events often involve moments of silence, readings of the names of children who died in these schools, and the participation of Indigenous leaders, elders, and community members.

3. Orange Shirt Day: Coinciding with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is Orange Shirt Day. Canadians are encouraged to wear orange shirts to honour residential school survivors and to remember those who never made it home. The initiative started to commemorate the story of Phyllis Webstad, who had her new orange shirt taken away on her first day at a residential school.

4. Listening to Indigenous Voices: Many Indigenous communities share their stories, songs, and dances on this day. Listening to these voices helps Canadians understand the experiences of Indigenous peoples and the impacts of colonization.

5. Reflection and Commitment: This day is also a time for personal reflection. Canadians can think about their roles in the process of reconciliation and consider ways to support Indigenous rights and communities moving forward.

6. Public Acknowledgements: Land acknowledgements and public statements from organizations, institutions, and government bodies are common, as they recognize the importance of the day and reaffirm their commitment to reconciliation.

It's essential to note that while the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation serves as a specific time to focus on these issues, the work towards true reconciliation is ongoing and requires a sustained, collective effort.

Happy Weekend to all our amazing CommUNITY members out there!

As we step into the weekend, let's take a moment to find our zen and wholeheartedly embrace this opportunity to feel calm, inspired, and relaxed. It's time to unleash your inner yogi and let your practice ignite your spirit.

Imagine rolling out your yoga mat in the peaceful space of your own home, where you can immerse yourself in the uplifting energy of like-minded individuals. Connect with others who share your love for wellness, health, and, of course, yoga!

Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years, finding your zen is essential in nurturing both the body and mind. In moments of stillness on your mat, the practice encourages reflection and self-discovery. Take a deep breath, inhale positivity, and exhale any tension or stress that may be weighing you down. Let go of any distractions from the week behind us as we refocus our attention on creating balance within ourselves.

Let's inspire one another in this wonderful journey by sharing our most calming poses or favourite quotes that motivate us to keep going even during challenging times. Help someone else discover their inner strength by encouraging them during their practice or providing tips on how to achieve a deeper level of relaxation.

Remember that finding your zen doesn't have to be limited only to these two magical days - it can be cultivated all week long! Each day brings fresh opportunities for growth and mindfulness. Let this post serve as an invitation for self-reflection as we embark on a weekend filled with tranquil vibes and profound serenity.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the classes that have made a true impact on our journey!

Today, I would love to hear about your favourite classes here on our platform. Whether you're primarily a yoga practitioner, wellness enthusiast, health conscious individual, or even a yoga teacher looking for new inspiration - this one's for you.

Share with us in the comments below. Perhaps you've stumbled upon a class that's incredibly motivational or has an encouraging teacher that keeps you coming back for more. Your insight might help others find exactly what they need to enhance their yoga practice or overall wellness lifestyle.

Hello Lovelies!

As the Autumn Equinox approaches, it's an ideal time to embrace the season and reflect on our practice.

For many of us, autumn brings a tranquil and serene energy that perfectly aligns with our yoga journey. The changing leaves and crisp air seem to coax us into a state of peacefulness and revitalization.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting your yoga path, I invite you to share in the beauty of the Autumn Equinox together. Let's use this opportunity to connect with one another, inspire each other, and deepen our yoga practice.

How does the transition from summer to fall affect your practice? Do you find yourself craving grounding poses like balasana (Child's Pose) or focusing on balance postures like vrksasana (Tree Pose) to restore harmony as nature shifts around us?

Let's discuss how incorporating elements of nature into our yoga practice during this equinox can help us embrace calmness, introspection, and adaptability – much like the changing seasons themselves.

Share any inspiring rituals or practices you have experienced during this time of year. Maybe you find solace in outdoor sessions surrounded by autumn foliage, or maybe you incorporate gratitude journaling into your practice.

Whatever it may be, let's celebrate the autumn equinox through intention-setting, breath-work exercises, or inspirational readings – something that resonates deeply within our hearts and souls.

By coming together as a community, yoga practitioners, we can support each other and encourage personal growth as we deep dive into our yoga journeys during this special season.

So dear yogis, how do you plan to honour the upcoming autumn equinox on your mat? Let's uplift each other with calming words and insightful experiences that will motivate us in every savasana shared under cozy fall blankets.

Namaste!
