Lokah Sangha Yoga

I hope you are all feeling refreshed from the long weekend!

Now, let's get back to it! 🏃‍♀️ We have two of our fave classes in the lineup today. Our active HIIT & Run class, a workout class focused mostly on strengthening moves (so you dont get too sweaty on your break) with kinesiologist Candace Glowa. She's motivating and knows how to modify for everyone. Come check it out at our special drop in rate $7!!

Slow flow with Carly is at 7pm. Tonight's class is going to be deep, slow and nourishing. Bring your own bolster if you have one because we are going to try and have 2/person.

Happy Tuesday!

[02/17/20]   We are taking a break for family day today and we hope you are too! See you tomorrow foe lunch time HIIT and slow flow!

We had a blast at Valentine's Day Partner yoga, and the sushi from Crooked Arrow Catering was delicious!

LSY love week continues and today I give my love to our incredible teachers. This quote sums it up completely. Our shared vision in sharing yoga as a holistic science of self-realization has upheld the integrity and focus of our studio. I am so grateful for all the inspiration, love, laughter, friendship and fun they bring to our classes and to my life!

We do all we can to support our clients as they walk on the path of yoga. Countless conversations before and after classes, meeting up for tea, personal messages and instruction. In so many ways our studio is like a home for personal growth for those who want it. We want everyone to know that you have our support, you deserve love, you are important to us and all of our beautiful teachers want to see you grow and succeed.

Cheers to community! We LOVE you!❤🌹🌹🌹

Welcome everyone to our week of LOVE at LSY. This week can bring up a lot of emotions for everyone, perhaps it's not always rainbows and butterflies, but those of heartache and longing.

Yoga teaches us so much about love, about our relationships to ourselves, others and to ou connection to spirit.

Sharing a few of my favourite lessons about love this week in my classes, including self love, service to others, how all love doesn't have to mean relationship, bhakti yoga (the yoga of love and devotion), being in a state of loving awareness, and how to see love everywhere.

Love truly is the heartbeat of all life ❤

Our week culminates on Friday in a special partner yoga and sushi night! Theres room for 3 more couples/pairings/friends!

Lots of love to all of you,

Carly

Threw everyone for a loop today when we had everyone turn their mat sideways for class 😱

It was very interesting to watch everyone roll into class as per usual and be shocked/confused/out of comfort when they saw their fellow yogis with their mats turned 90° !!!! 😬

It was challenging for myself as well to teach this way - a whole new perspective.. it is great to push into discomfort .. it is how we learn.

I must say everyone did so well and all our half moons were AMAZING this way 🤗

Join Carly over your lunch break today for a class guaranteed to reset your energy with positivity, love, kindness and strength. 12:10-12:50! Drop ins welcome!

Tonight at 7pm is our womens circle! Remember to bring your own mug and join us for some inspiration and connection.

We are two days away from this amazing gathering of women❤ All women are welcome to join us, listen to our incredible speaker, Jena McCafferty and partake in some gentle yoga and a self love meditation as well as enjoy a special cacao drinking ceremony 😋 $15 or $10 for members!

The forgotten art of squatting is a revelation for bodies ruined by sitting

This is why I make you do 10,000 squats in a class, work on ankle flexion, strong glutes and stress an importance of balance between STRENGTH and flexibility. Anytime I travel to Asia or South America, I am so amazed at the ease of people (even in their 80s) squatting effortlessly like children naturally do.

Try out your squat... and if it needs some help, come see me! :D 🤣

qz.com Westerners have forgotten how to squat, and it's causing health problems.

I'm baaaacckkk and so ready to dive back into what I love the most...teaching yoga!

We all crave it, we all feel it’s force...now let’s commit to building a solid foundation of deep love and acceptance for ourSelves and watch that Love unfold...

All women are welcome. Please come and experience an evening of support and connection, designed to uplift and inspire you!

Embrace your Tuesday! See you at our classes today!

HIIT at 12:15 and Slow flow at 7pm!

See you there!

So proud of all the new yogis who came out for yoga for beginners this evening. Starting something new can be hard, even scary sometimes. Especially yoga which can be looked at as an intimidating practice, or mystical, or turning yourself into a pretzel.

We took it really slow tonight to familiarize ourselves with our bodies, with the props, intuiting how we felt, listening...

In the next few weeks we will build our foundations in not only asana (physical postures) but also in other aspects such as meditation, mind-regulation, breathing and stress reduction.

Thanks for all who came out tonight, what a beautiful room of people!

One of our longest running classes at Lokah Sangha!

Every Thursday from 12:10-12:50. So much transformation can happen in just 40 minutes. Imagine stopping to pause, deepen, lengthen, expand and radiate? How would the rest of your day look!?

Change from your clothes here in our washroom, or wear your stretchy Jean's and you'll be fine 😄

Take advantage of our new lunch class pass for only $72 or pay $7. Treat your co-worker!

There is no match for the intelligence of the body, REST. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Making time for rest can recharge your ability to deal with commitments, relationships and impact your overall health. This is because your mind and body are intrinsically connected.
😴
Lack of sleep can also manifest physically. When you're overworked, cortisol and adrenalin pump through your blood. The boost of these hormones long-term can lead to adrenal exhaustion and an overall hormonal imbalance. Symptoms of which can include depression, weight gain, estrogen dominance, and chronic fatigue— all accelerating the aging process.

Restorative Yoga is proven to help relax the nervous system and improve sleep. Come try it for yourself!

See you for classes today at LSY!

Our lunch class is taught by kinesiologist Candace Glowa. Come for a moderately sweaty class (focus is more on strength then cardio to sweat a little less on your lunch break) and take advantage of our 50% off lunch classes for $7!! Or save even more with our 12 lunch class pass for $72 plus tax!

This evening our slow flow practice with Carly is back at 7pm. This popular class instills deliberate movements, longer holds and deeper experiences that culminate in stillness, meditation, mantra and deep relaxation.

See you tonight! 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🕉

[01/14/20]   JUST 3 SPOTS LEFT IN YOGA FOR BEGINNERS! Message us to save your spot!

There is beauty and grace in yogic movements (called asana). Whether it's the discipline of holding, sustaining, or the acceptance of working within your own capacity, or the expansion of energy that comes in finding length, depth, and space or the sweetest place of all, where movement merges into stillness and there is an integration of body, breath & mind.

One must not get intimidated by these postures. Yoga is not about becoming a "poser", but embodying the above qualities and invoking these states from within. As my beautiful teacher Indu Arora states, "Yoga is a Work-In."

There are still spots left for kids yoga winter and spring sessions.😀

Looking to support your child both physically and mentally?

Yoga is a great practice.

Integrated in to the kids’ classes are activities to support self awareness, mindfulness and self regulation, all very important practices that we need to navigate the stress that life presents us with each and every day.

Give your child the gift of inner peace.

@bethany.bullock.9 led our Full Moon Women's circle last night and it was incredibly moving as she talked about faith, trust, devotion and dedication. She linked traditional yoga teachings to traditional ojibway teachings and how both of her spiritual guides from each path bring you to the same place: peace and love.
.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We finished with an Ojibway tobacco ceremony that focused on cultivating gratitude. What an incredible experience. Thank you Bethany! 😃💗 @ Lokah Sangha Yoga

Our next yoga for beginners class starts next Thursday 🧘‍♀️ JAN 16th
.
Perhaps it's the perfect time to give it a try! We will cover all the basics, show you all the ways to modify postures, teach you how to listen to your bodily cues, work on mindfulness, breathwork and go over some main philosophies of yoga that translate off the mat and into.our day to day lives.
.
$101.70 with tax- this can be paid via EMT to [email protected] to register right now!

Awaken | Awaken with Carly

A big part of my job is working one-on-one with individuals of all ages. Here is something I created for one of my 8 year old clients! I have had amazing results with many of my clients who have chosen this route to help aid in their goals of health and healing. Yoga Therapy is complimentary to everything else you are doing for your physical and mental wellbeing, and helps empower the individual to take an active role in their healing journey.

There are many things yoga therapy can work wonders with from postural correction, to aches and pains to breathing issues, to finding clarity and purpose, to ADHD, to mental illnesses and so much more.

Every session looks different depending on what is going on and what is specifically needed. Absolutely zero "yoga" experience is needed.

To learn more about Yoga Therapy, or to book an appointment click here:

I will be opening my books after feb.6th with appointments available Tues 9-12 & 1-5, Thursdays 9-12 & 1-6, and Fridays 10:30-12. Also available will be sessions for Reflexology and Reiki. All can be booked and paid for online :)

My clients are my number 1 priority and giving you my full attention and support is guaranteed.

Here's to health and happiness in 2020. Namaste! 🙏

🕉Our NEW YEARS DAY Class is being taught by the lovely Shauntelle Pihulak who will be leading us through an Intention Setting Practice:

January 1st 10-11:30am!!

A new year can bring up a lot of emotions. All too often, we look back at all the things that went wrong or that we didn’t accomplish instead of honouring where we are at and how far we have come. We make resolutions, that are unrealistic and beat ourselves up again next new year instead of reflecting and moving forward with love and intention.

Join Shauntelle January first for a 90 minute yoga practice to start the year with inspiration and clarity. We will be doing a physical practice, meditation and an intention setting exercise to lead us into 2020.

Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy! 🙏🙏🙏
