FINE-TUNE YOUR VOICE AND ELEVATE YOUR TEACHING

🔹 Unlocking Your Best Voice — Vocal Awareness for Yoga Teachers
🔹 Allison Smith
🔹 Saturday, October 26, 2024
🔹 Time: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
🔹 Location: Kensington Studio
🔹 $35 – Sign up by clicking the link in our bio 🔗✨

Join Allison Smith for a masterclass designed to help yoga teachers refine their most essential tool—their voice.

Through thoughtful exploration and practical techniques, this workshop will provide insight into the nuances of vocal delivery, ensuring your voice enhances the experience for every student.

Yoga is an auditory medium, not a visual one. Unless you’re demoing a pose, your students are listening to your words. Your voice sets the tone, carries meaning, and guides them through their practice.

Sign up today to fine-tune your voice and elevate your teaching.

Symmetry & Asymmetry Workshop
Friday October 25 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Kensington Location

Arm balance lovers unite! Join Santosha’s inspiring arm balance enthusiast, Jasmine Burton, for a playful and informative workshop designed to fine-tune your practice through symmetry and asymmetry.

What you’ll take away:

• A deeper understanding of symmetry and asymmetry in arm balancing and inversion postures
• Tools to identify and strengthen imbalances in your body
• A renewed sense of strength, playfulness, and encouragement

All levels are welcome! Some familiarity with basic arm balances (like crow pose or tripod headstand) is recommended.

Got questions? Send us a message, and we’ll connect you with Jasmine for all the details.

✨ Maggie, one of our beloved teachers! You’re used to seeing her every Saturday at 10 AM, guiding us through her energizing vinyasa flow. Did someone say plank pose? 💪

But wait… there’s more! 📅 Starting at the end of November, Maggie will be adding a new class to her schedule at our Mission location. Any guesses which class will soon be hers? We’d love to hear what you think! 😉 Stay tuned to find out!

“Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.” — Wayne Dyer

At Yoga Santosha, we are committed to creating a space where healing, understanding, and connection can flourish. Today is an invitation to deepen our awareness of the history, strength, and contributions of Indigenous communities, while also acknowledging the impact of colonialism and the ongoing journey toward reconciliation.

We acknowledge that Yoga Santosha stands on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations), the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley Nations). We also honor the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, and all those who make their home on this land.

Let’s take a moment in our practice today to reflect, listen, and hold space for reconciliation.

This is one of ours 📖

The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer is filled with insight and words that resonate with a deep wisdom.

✨Real growth happens when there is only one of you inside. There is not a part that is scared and another part that’s protecting the part that’s scared. All parts are unified. Because there is not part of you that you’re not willing to see, the mind is no longer divided into the conscious and the subconscious. Everything you see inside is just something you see inside. It’s not you; it’s what you see. There is simply the pure energy pouring inside of you that creates the ripples of thoughts and emotions, and there is consciousness that’s aware of it. There is simply you watching the dance of the psyche. In order to reach this state of awareness, you must let your entire psyche surface. Every little fragmented piece of it must be permitted to pass through ✨🙏

Welcoming all parts of ourselves and bowing towards every color, every shade, and every texture. Om Shanti
