Become grounded with earth energy. Melt into the flow with water energy. Ignite yourself with fire energy. Float into freedom with air energy. And finally, connect to the divine with the energy of Ether. Every intentional movement and breath in this flow will allow you to deeply honour your body, calm your mind and embody your inner bliss & freedom!

Into the fire, we find the sweetness within.

A mix of dynamic Vinyasa flow and Yin postures; This practice steps us into the transformational fires of the heart to savour in the sweetness of Grace. The perfect blend of back bending and hip opening to allow us to truly appreciate the beauty of the moment as it is presented.

How do we heal and open our hearts to ourselves, to others?  And when our heart does open, how do we keep it open even during life challenges?

Yoga shared among the family is such a joyful and meaningful experience.Come enjoy a themed experience that flows through a series of poses, activities, partner work, breathing and guided relaxation. Each theme is influenced by the seasons, nature, the animal world and
traditional celebrations.

Class is complimentary for all and open to the public, no pre-registration required. Simply show up and register at the registration table on the mezzanine at the Fort Garry Hotel between 2pm - 2:45pm

Have you ever heard the instruction "focus on your breath," but wondered at the root and intention of the exercise?

This workshop will explore the origin and goal of breathing exercises through practice, in both gentle yoga asana and the chanting practice of Kirtan.  The breath is a powerful tool that we can use to balance our bodies and minds.  Once learned, one can continue to apply the principles to daily practice.

Join us as we sync breath, movement, and voice to the beat of a drum (and a harmonium!).  No experience necessary, beneficial for all levels of practitioners.
Not sure what Kirtan is?  Check out a live recording of one of our previous Kirtan events at: www.adrienneshum.bandcamp.com

Yogis.....Welcome to the 'CHILL ZONE'. An all-levels, delicious 90 minute yin yoga adventure. Embark on this journey of 'growing younger' as we nourish our connective tissue, promote & restore the flow of chi (energy) + calm the nervous system. We’ll weave in & out of juicy yin postures — exploring long held, static poses, as we cultivate deepened inhales and exhales and invite peace & calm into our yoga experience. This passive class is a beautiful compliment to your more yang style active practices (and lifestyles). Supported by mellow & tranquil back beats, this is the perfect opportunity to give you mind, body and soul some much needed ZEN. **Warning....a deep 'jello-like' state of 'heck YES!' is known to occur and is often accompanied by uncontrollable 'sighs & ahhhhs'.**
