I’ve been thinking for a while about how I use Facebook and I’m making some changes.

Starting with phasing out the use of this page.

I plan to close this Page Sept 1/2023

Facebook only shows 1-2% of my posts to those of you who have liked this page 🤦🏻‍♀️

The algorithm is such (and has been for a long time) that unless a business pays for Facebook ads they bury your posts in your followers' feeds.

And since I NEVER plan on giving Facebook my Ad money
I see no reason to keep this page.

To be clear I’m not leaving Facebook just slowly closing this page.
So we can stay connected in a couple ways:

My private Facebook group for Students Nyk Danu Yoga - Yoga Misfits Secret Club

This group is only for folks on my email list.

To join this group
1) click that tag above
2) answer the screening questions (including adding your email)
3) Password if prompted is: MisFit

The other way to still get my content is to follow my ‘personal’ profile which I will now be using mostly for Business and networking.

To be clear ‘following’ me is not the same as a friend invite.

I won’t see any of your posts in my feed (unless we actually are friends already) and you won’t see my private posts either.
You just see the same content I’ve been sharing here

Hi Yoga Misfits!
Once a season I do a free class!

If you're an existing student then this is a thank you AND an invitation to invite friends, family or neighbours to join you all you need to do is share this post with them or Tag them.

If you are new to me this is an opportunity to sample a class to see if we are a good fit.

For Springtime our Free class is Tuesday, April 11 from 6:00-7:30pm (pacific time)

This class will be a hybrid of in-person and online so you'll be able to choose according to how you want to join depending on where you are in the world.

In this class, we focus on Nourishing our Nervous system and Back Pain relief.

We start with a grounding and centring. Then slow flow through therapeutic movements for joint mobility, flexibility and strength (including the core).

Then we move back into stillness & long holds of Yin. And finally, we finish this class with a Yoga Nidra practice.

Yoga Nidra, sometimes called yogic sleep, is a highly beneficial guided relaxation. Where I will take you through a body scan.

This draws your attention inward, putting you into a state of consciousness that sits on the border between waking and sleeping.

To join me in person at Christ Church Cathedral click here to save your spot: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19572410&appointmentType=43350702​

In-Person Equipment:

Bring a Yoga Mat and a Blanket

To join me online: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19572410&appointmentType=43351089​

Hi Victoria Friends,

Happy New Year!!
The winter semester of classes at Christ Church Cathedral starts on Jan 17, 2023.

I run these classes in pre-registered seasonal semesters for a bunch of reasons.
I have been teaching Yoga for just over 18 years and time and time again the proof is in the practice and my students can see that committing to a pre-registered series is so much better than the drop in model (more on the class below).

But I also know it can be tough to commit to a full season of classes when you haven't tried the teacher, aren't familiar with the location or don't know the style of practice.

So I'm offering a donation-based tester class on Tuesday Jan 10, 2023 from 6:00-7:30 pm

In this Therapeutic class we focus on Nourishing our Nervous systems and Back Pain relief.

We start with a grounding and mindfulness.
Then move slowly through therapeutic movements for joint mobility, flexibility and strength (including the core).

Then we move back into stillness & long holds of Yin.
And finally we finish this class with a Yoga Nidra practice.

Yoga Nidra, sometimes called as yogic sleep, is a highly beneficial guided relaxation, where I will take you through a body scan. This draws your attention inward, putting you into a state of consciousness that sits on the border between waking and sleeping.

Please Bring BOTH:
Yoga mat and a blanket or two

Location: Christ Church Cathedral - 930 Burdett Avenue
* there is parking just off Burdett Ave
* enter through the Burdett Ave doors
* take the elevator or stairs all the way up

You can make your payment online with your card when you RSVP or if you want to do cash then click the 'cash' option.

RSVP to save your spot (no dropping by) by clicking this link and signing up.

Link in my bio that RSVP

Please Note:
The doors will be locked promptly at 6:00 pm so arrive 10 or so min early to allow for set up time.

Please feel free to invite friends, family neighbours etc.

If you have any questions please reply in the comments.

I look forward to seeing familiar faces, and meeting new one too.

With Gratitude
nyk

Happy Bodhi day!

Dec 8 is the day that Commemorates the historical Buddha’s enlightenment (buddha means awakened one)

You see the Historical Buddha - Siddhartha Gautama (Shakyamuni)
Was a man not a god.

Although raised as a prince with all the fixings that life brings. He left his palace life, gave up his fine garments and jewelry in order to find the causes of this suffering and the means to overcome it.

So he left home and became a radical.

He became a wandering yogi practicing extreme asceticism for a number of years before he realized this too was not the path.

He decided to swim against the stream from the common practices of the day.

So he sat down under tree and After about six years of study, self-deprivation, and deep meditation he finally realized his goal. He had become an enlightened one (a Buddha) and then became known as Shakyamuni (Sage of the Shakya tribe)

One of the things I like most about the Buddha and Buddhism is the inherent belief we as humans can all become enlightened.

We can learn to see things as they are, we can practice metta (loving friendliness) karuna (compassion) mudita ( Sympathetic joy)
Upekka (equanimity)

The Buddha was a radical, a questioner and he carved his own way aka the middle way.

And I find that pretty inspiring ☸️

Some thoughts on this AI trend.

I totally get the temptation is does look really fun.

But here’s somethings you may not know and is worth considering:
These AI apps mine the artwork of real artists and then pilfer (steal) parts of the artists work to create that AI image … all that without paying the artist or giving credit to the artist.
I would rather use my money to pay an artist to draw me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I also have serious concerns about the transhumanist agenda (transhumanism, philosophical and scientific movement that advocates the use of current and emerging technologies—such as genetic engineering, cryonics, artificial intelligence (AI), and nanotechnology—to augment human capabilities and improve the human condition.
www.britannica.com)

People identify with humans by seeing their face especially their eyes.
(Mirror neurons) it increases our sense of connection and trust.

If you hadn’t thought of that look at those AI images again and notice the detached, impersonal feeling you get from them.

I don’t need an app to make me into a supershero I already know I am one.

The age of filters, airbrushing etc. has already caused so much damage especially to girls and teens who try to live up to these fake standards.
This AI thing takes this to a whole new level.

I value humanity and all the beautiful ‘imperfections’ we each have its what makes each of us special and unique.
I want to see more authentic real unfiltered unique beauty… the kind we each have in our own way.

I’m not judging those who have bought into the trend, again I totally felt the pull too. My hope is that these points might give us something to consider?

So here is a simple unedited, unfiltered picture of me taken a while back by crust

Thanks to for the nudge

P.S. not to pull out my tinfoil beanie or anything but I hope you read the fine print on that app cause you just gave them a bunch of your selfies to scan and do what they want with them. 😬
