I was reflecting today on all the incredible people I have met teaching yoga trainings at the studio. I can’t believe we get to do this!

Yoga practice has formed a foundation in my life that has seen me through some dark times, some immense joy, and everything in between.

What I didn’t count on was the incredible community that would bloom out of our love for the practice. We just started our fall training season with our internship program and we have a 200 hour training starting next weekend and my heart could just burst!

We love what we do and we love our community ❤️

Our next 200 hour program runs September 26-December 13th! Maybe this is the program that is calling to you?

On this sacred Śrī Krishna Janmāṣṭamī, we honour Krishna beloved, divine, and one of Yoga’s most profound teachers. 🪷

On the battlefield of Kurukṣetra, when Arjuna was overcome with doubt and grief, Krishna offered his timeless Gītopadeśa….the wisdOM of the Bhagavad Gītā.

A teaching that reminds us that Yoga is not an escape frOM life, but a way of meeting life, through dharma, devotion, wisdom, and action without attachment.

The battlefield may look different today, but the questions of the human heart remain.

Happy Janmāṣṭamī from Mā Wellness & Yoga. 💙🪷

🌾 THE TURNING: CULTIVATING THE EARTH ELEMENT IN LATE SUMMER

With Jenica Geisler R.Ac

Friday, September 25, 2026
5:30–8:00 PM
$65
MĀ Sky Studio | Victoria, BC

As summer begins to turn toward autumn, the Earth Element invites us to pause, receive nourishment, and allow the experiences of the season to settle into something that can truly sustain us.

In Five Element Chinese Medicine, Late Summer is a season of nourishment, integration, and transition. Just as the body transforms food into energy, the Earth Element helps us transform our experiences into something we can carry forward. It is where one season becomes the next and where transition can become transformation.

Through the lenses of Five Element Chinese Medicine, The Tao of Trauma, somatic practice, and group acupuncture, we’ll explore how cultivating the Earth Element can support our ability to receive nourishment, digest our experiences, and move through life’s transitions with greater steadiness, embodiment, and resilience.

The evening will include:

🌾 An introduction to the Earth Element and its organ systems
🌾 An exploration of nourishment, integration, and seasonal transition
🌾 A guided somatic practice
🌾 Restorative group acupuncture

This is a space to pause, settle, and discover what is ready to nourish you.

You will not be asked to share personal stories, process your experiences aloud, or hold the stories of others. This is a space for inward exploration, held in shared presence.

You don’t need to feel energized, certain, or “ready” to attend. This space meets you where you are.

Optional: Bring a small item for our Altar of Harvest—an object that represents nourishment, transition, transformation, or the Earth.

Space is limited.
