The Spring Equinox represents a time of rebirth and new beginnings, making it a great time to detoxify the body. 108 Salutations... It is believed that the fire (internal heat) that you build during this practice is cleansing, detoxifying, and gets you more in touch with yourself. There are many benefits to practicing 108 Sun Salutations. Move Energy Sun Salutations heat the body and activate Prana, or upward energy. You’ve probably heard in yoga class that the active parts of class (like a Vinyasa flow) help create and move energy and stuck emotions. The slower parts of class (like hip openers and reclined poses) help release energy and emotions that no longer serve you. Surrender During 108 Sun Salutations, you will at some point think, “Why did I sign up for this?” If you keep going, you will find a state of ease, and even a sense of flow. You will surrender to the process, acknowledge what arises emotionally, and then let it go. When you finish, you will feel lighter and find meaning in this ancient ritual. Here are 6 things you will learn or experience when you practice 108 sun salutations: 1. You are stronger than you think 108 sounds like a lot – you may not reach that number the first time. Regardless of the total number, you will be surprised at your strength and how many rounds you can do. Give yourself some credit for what you’ve accomplished, because you are powerful and deserve the recognition! 2. Negative energy does not define you Negative energy can stay trapped in the body. Sun Salutations activate stuck energy, help you move through it, and ultimately let go of things that no longer serve you. Releasing negative energy is an important step on the path to happiness, and this practice will show you that you have the power to release anything holding you back. 3. You have the power to shift your perspective If you practice with a positive mantra, like “I am at peace,” then you may see significant changes in your mood and perspective. Focusing on positivity as you practice has the power to transform your entire outlook. Once you accomplish 108 Sun Salutations, you may event notice a boost in your overall confidence! 4. You can find grounding amidst any challenge The repetition and ritual of 108 Sun Salutations will provide a sense of grounding. Remember that Sun Salutations are named in honor of the cycles of the life. 108 Sun Salutations is definitely challenging, but while you practice them, you will find a sense of grounding and learn how to access it with any challenge you face. 5. You will discover your inner drive While this will be different for each person, you will see emotions and sensations arise that you never knew existed (or thought were long gone). You may learn what inspires you to flow or even how your dedication can cultivate confidence. Throughout this practice, you will continue to witness your incredible drive. 6. You will have more energy afterwards You will feel an increase in energy once you complete your Sun Salutations because they generate Prana. Afterward, you may find yourself feeling more energized, more alert, and empowered overall – now that’s a great feeling! Join us ~ by donation... Proceeds go to support the Orillia SPCA

Today is the day. The culmination of a year, a lifetime of plans... The day that 19 beautiful beings (mostly strangers) will come together on the sunny beach of Tulum, Mexico, having taken a huge leap of faith in themselves, in the universe and in me... And for this I am so grateful. So humbly full of gratitude for the ability to share and serve. Beginning as strangers, we will build friendships and connections, we will discover commonalities amidst our uniqueness. We will laugh and possibly cry. We will give and receive. We will let go and we will grow. Today is the day. Let the magic begin... #yoga #yogaretreat #nourishyourlife #discover #wanderlust #tulum #mexico #bliss #friendship #yoga #itsallyoga

The Medicine of Mindfulness: Healing the heart in a troubled and divided world with Gen Kelsang Suma Saturdays, 9:30 am - 12:00pm Many people are interested in mindfulness and meditation, but what exactly is mindfulness? How do we do it, and how does it help us in our daily life? Mindfulness training and meditation have been understood by Buddhist practitioners for centuries to be key to a happy and fulfilling life. They are skills cultivated not merely in the formal setting, but as a regular part of a practitioner's everyday life. The practice of mindfulness is about more than just "being in the moment". Originally taught by Buddha, it is a training that prompts us to always remember - and thus constantly practice - beneficial ways of thinking and acting that will protect us from problems, and bring ever more happiness into our lives. Feb 3 Mindfulness and the power of pure intention March 3 Mindfulness and a generous heart April 7 Mindfulness and self control May 12 Mindfulness and the confidence to change June 16 Mindfulness and the space of infinite possibility Everyone is welcome. Cost is $15 per class. We are so honoured and grateful to have Gen Kelsang Suma at the studio - Always so much to learn and discover, she has a way of providing us with new ways to understand, grow and let go.
