We pay respect to the traditional guardians of this land, the Algonquin people. We acknowledge that our classes take place on their territory which remains unceded.
“Time is a gift that only you can unwrap.”
Busy lives. Achy bodies. Racing minds. Rarely enough time.
We’ve all been — and probably are still — there.
Yoga is an ancient system of philosophy and practice that helps us connect more deeply to ourselves and to community. In the ancient language of Sanskrit, “kāla” has many meanings, including “time” and in a modern context with Yoga Kāla, practicing yoga is a true gift of time.
Time to slow down the pace of life (even if just for an hour).
Time to care for the achy, stiff body.
Time to calm the racing mind.
Time to just be… be on your mat, be with your breath, be mindful of your body and be still.
