Feel free to bring whatever instrument you like to play, or just bring yourself.

After Kirtan we’ll have an optional picnic to get together and contemplate sunset. Please bring anything you would like to eat and share.

🇧🇷 Esse post foi em inglês, mas todos os brasileirxs em Vancouver estão convidadxs.
As aulas no parque são uma oportunidade para fazer novas conexões e praticar yoga com a comunidade. As aulas deste ano serão provavelmente em inglês - a não ser que os brasileiros dominem tudo. 😍😅

I commit to learning from and supporting these and other Indigenous communities.

Don't forget today is a fresh new beginning and you have the power to shape it however you choose... ✨

As a yoga teacher one of the most common things I hear is "I'm not flexible enough for yoga".

We're conditioned to believe yoga is about getting to touch your toes. Something to "be good at".

What if instead of focusing on what you can't do, you start where you are and take time to appreciate what you can do.

Find whatever strengths you can identify, keep building on them with patience, self-awareness and compassion. Gradually, you'll start to notice things changing.

And while yoga can help improve flexibility, this is only one tiny aspect of it. By having consistent practice, you're going to get much more than just being able to touch your toes.
I promise you.

Let me know in the comments what's stopping you from trying yoga.
I'd love to help you on your journey.

✨🤍
