Metta Yoga Calgary

Building a yoga community extends beyond the mat and the hot room; it’s about forging meaningful connections that support and inspire. Cherishing the moments shared off the mat is as vital as the practice itself.

Kickstart your week by motivating yourself this Monday with Metta. Embrace the heat, challenge your limits, and leave feeling revitalized and ready to conquer the week ahead.

Remember: We aren't responsible for others' poor behavior—only for how we respond, set boundaries, and protect our beautiful souls.

Introducing Sinead to the Karma schedule. Sinead’s passion for yoga and her massage therapy practice makes her a welcome addition to our Metta team.

Our Karma charity of the month is Miskanawah. Each Friday evening 7pm Karma class is an opportunity not only to practice at an accessible fee of $10 but it also goes to a charitable organization.

Miskanawah in Cree can be translated as “many little roads and paths.” Since 1988, their organization has led the effort to support vulnerable children and youth in a holistic way through out Calgary and the surrounding area. They are a leader in the social services field working from a harm-reduction and strength-based perspective with a focus on Indigenous teachings and traditions.

The website is provided for you below for further interest. Thank you for your support to this amazing cause.

Yay! Jenny is teaching her first Wall Yin class this evening Thursday 5:30pm - 6:30pm. Come out to this accessible and healing practice.

METTA BY CANDLELIGHT 🕯 Wed, Jun 12 12PM

We believe we FINALLY have a solution to our ongoing power problems today! Thanks to Enmax!

We have made the decision not to delay the repair, and they are working on it immediately. This means, unfortunately, our power is OFF while they work.

The noon class will proceed by candlelight. Please note, with our heat panels off, it will probably not feel like a hot class, but the room will hold warmth.

Thank you all for your understanding and ongoing support, patience, and prayers 🙌🥰💕

📵 At our yoga studio, we kindly ask that you refrain from using cell phones in the change room to respect everyone's privacy. Let's maintain a serene and comfortable environment for all our members.

Don’t let the water restrictions deter you from practicing because the benefits of sweating are astounding.

Sweating during yoga helps detoxify the body by flushing out toxins through the skin. It also improves circulation, promoting better cardiovascular health and muscle recovery. Additionally, sweating enhances skin health by clearing pores and promoting a natural glow. See you in the hot room.

NEW SHIPMENT OF STOKE JUICE

So excited for this assortment of juices from Stoke. Come in and get one before they fly off the shelves.

Stoke juice is 100% organic with 2-3 lbs of produce. Add this to your wellness program.

ealing is essential to prevent your past pain from affecting innocent people in your present. Which is why yoga is such an important practice that helps us process past wounding. A gentle reminder that, unresolved wounds can harm those who never caused them.

Tuesday 9:30am Yang/Yin class is back on.

TUESDAY JUNE 4TH 9:30AM CLASS CANCELLATION

As many of you attending classes this past week have noticed, we are having power issues at the studio. Thankfully the hot room is hot 🔥🔥🔥 and we are still able to function to the best of our ability. We do apologize for the inconvenience the dim lighting has caused, specifically in the men's change room.

We have been working diligently with our landlord and mechanical and electrical professionals to get to the bottom of this, and we hope to have a solution and it all fixed this week.

In order to accommodate all companies involved in our space at once to work on this repair, we have to cancel one class. Please be aware that our TUESDAY JUNE 4TH 9:30AM class will be canceled for that day only.

Again, our apologies for this inconvenience. We appreciate you all, your patience and understanding!🙏💕

HAPPY JUNE METTA COMMUNITY!

Please be patient with us as we try to restore power to the lights in the studio. This does not affect the hot room so you will be able to enjoy your practice.

This mostly affects the men’s change rooms. However please be mindful of the extension cords running from the women’s change room into the men’s change room. We hope to have this all sorted out as soon as possible.

Benefits of Arriving Earlier to the Studio

We’ve all been there before. Hands white-knuckled to the steering wheel. Screaming un-yogi like phrases because the person in front of us is driving too slow. And now you need the whole class to recuperate from your stressful commute.

Here are some benefits of arriving early.

1. Relaxed Mindset: Give yourself few minutes to unwind and transition from your day

2. Prepare physically: Warm up and get comfortable on your mat

3. Connect with Community: Chat and connect with fellow yogis before class starts.

4. Set Intentions: Use the extra time to focus on your goals for the session.

$10 for a Yoga Class?

We are continuing our Saturday $10 drop in Community Classes from 1:30pm - 2:30pm.

These are great beginner friendly hot yoga classes for all levels and everyone is welcome.

Cellphones and Smartwatches are connection killers!

Yoga is an escape from distractions so why would you want to be distracted.

Yoga is a time to restore and rejuvenate, and in order to obtain these benefits you have to be willing to disconnect and turn off the outside world. Be present in the moment, quiet the mind, and take a technology break for yourself and for the good of your fellow yogis.

LANA IS TEACHING YIN!

We are excited to announce our newest Yin Instructor — LANA! It was a matter of time and we know she will be an excellent addition to our teaching team.

Don’t miss out as she instructs the 90min Yin this Sunday at 5pm.

Let's kick off this week with a dose of inspiration on the yoga mat! Remember, every breath is a chance to start anew, every pose a testament to your inner strength.

Choosing the path less traveled isn't always easy, but it's where true fulfillment lies.

Embrace the journey of nurturing your long-term self over instant gratification.

It's brave, empowering, and ultimately leads to sustainable happiness.
