In Sanskrit, viveka (विवेक) means discernment, discrimination, or the ability to clearly distinguish between things especially between:

* the real and the unreal
* the eternal and the temporary
* truth and illusion
* the Self and the ego/mind

This is such an important thing to fine tune when we are understanding our alignment in the world and where to put our energy.

At the same time when we distinguish something that is not for us, that is enough information. Sometimes the constant justification is just the mind spinning and pulling you away from where you need to direct your inner forces.

I hope we all can clear the space we need on this auspicious day of the month.

Happy full moon 🌕

🌑 Sound Journey with Ocian Ward

Another opportunity to drop in, soften, and be held in sound.

✨ Expect:
• Deep relaxation + nervous system reset
• Gentle emotional release

Ocian is a seasoned sound practitioner and medicine song carrier, weaving together sound healing, Reiki, breathwork, and shamanic practices to create profound and safe spaces for inner exploration.

Teacher Feature: Meet Tracey ✨

With 25 years of teaching experience and a heart rooted in joyful movement, Tracey brings warmth, rhythm, and intention to every class she leads at MĀ. Her classes weave together breath-based vinyasa flow, mindful sequencing, music, and moments of restoration — creating a practice that feels like a journey through the body.

Originally introduced to yoga during her first pregnancy, Tracey quickly fell in love with the power of slowing down, breathing deeply, and moving with awareness. Since then, she has studied with incredible teachers around the world, including Shiva Rea, Janet Stone, Rodney Yee, and Schuyler Grant.

Students love Tracey’s welcoming, enthusiastic approach and the way she encourages everyone to meet themselves exactly where they are while feeling supported every step of the way. 💛 Her noon classes have become a community favourite and often fill up quickly — advance registration is highly recommended.

You can practice All Levels Vinyasa with Tracey Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 12pm.
