Charlottetown Yoga Space

"I would much rather sit here and think about why we overreacted, than be here trying to explain why we didn't react enough." Even as one of the businesses that is often directly impacted by lockdown measures, we are grateful to Heather Morrison and her team's decisions to take swift action when necessary

Brought some of the old into the new! Love that we were able to repurpose the flooring for The New Space

We now have to wait a little longer to unveil The New Space to you, in the meantime here is a little sneak peek at one view! Erika will be offering her classes via Zoom during the shut down. That schedule will be adjusted online, just sign-in for class as you normally would and you'll receive an email with the Zoom link prior to class.

This guy! Because of David's endless reno work ethic we are making great progress getting The New Space ready for you! HUGE THANK YOU to all the volunteers who have helped make this happening in RECORD time! We cannot wait to reveal this awesome sanctuary to you very soon!

Special attention for those snow shovelling shoulders in SomaYin tonight! Reserve your spot at the Charlottetown Yoga Space only 6 spaces left! tinyurl.com/n61w5e26

Here we often speak of mindfulness without giving it a proper explanation. If you want to know what mindfulness is, it’s best to try it for a while. Since it’s... hard to nail down in words, you will find slight variations in the meaning in books, websites, audio, and video. , , . When we’re mindful, we reduce stress, enhance performance, gain insight and awareness through observing our own mind, and increase our attention to others’ well-being. Mindfulness meditation gives us a time in our lives when we can suspend judgment and unleash our natural curiosity about the workings of the mind, approaching our experience with warmth and kindnessto ourselves and others. When we think about mindfulness and meditating, we can get hung up on thinking about our thoughts: we’re going to do something about what’s happening in our heads. It’s as if these bodies we have are just inconvenient sacks for our brains to lug around. Meditation begins and ends in the body. It involves taking the time to pay attention to where we are and what’s going on, and that starts with being aware of our body That very act can be calming, since our body has internal rhythms that help it relax if we give it a chance. That approach can make it seem like floatingas though we don’t have to walk. We can just waft.
