Always like this from Mahatma Gandhi.

No doubt we are all inspired by the coming of Spring! Relieved to move with new energy, and inspired just like the plants, to reach for the light and bathe in the glory of the sun. Spring reminds me to be alertto wake up to the changes and transformations in Nature that are manifesting before my eyes! The unsettled weather agitatesa necessity to shed the thick Winter skin. Spring demands the birth of the new, of fresh potential to grow into Summer's abundance! In the spirit... of Spring, we'd love to be adding to our Schedule but find, for now, that the small, closed groups are working well. This also helps us to maintain our protocols within the Provincial Health regulations as a Low Intensity Studio. As the weather warms up we are optimistic we can soon open the Studio once more to a larger audience. There are a few spaces available in the Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am classes. These are Celeste's regular classes, subbed at the moment, by Jane Lloyd Jones and Sarah Jane Smith. If you would like to join in these sessions, or want more info about anything to do with classes or rental space at Ganges Yoga Studio, please email [email protected] Read our latest newsletter https://mailchi.mp/88865/ganges-yoga-newsletter-march-2021

"Meditation is not a matter of trying to stop thinking or make your mind go blank but rather to realize when your attention is wandering and to simply let go of... the thoughts and begin again. It is a way of changing our relationship to our thoughts, so we’re not so consumed by them, with no sense of space. Having a newly spacious relationship to our thoughts brings both peace and freedom." - Sharon Salzberg Image by Gemma Correll

Free is not free from feelings, but free to feel each one and let it move on, unafraid of the movement of life. Excerpt: A Path with Heart #mindfulness #compassion #jackkornfield

Thank-you to everyone who has been offering me their attention over the last few weeks. Tomorrow, Monday 22nd, is the start of the next leg of my journey. I feel the loving support and know that we are all blessed in this together. The thawing snow today, a confirmation that Spring Flowers are just waiting to burst from the ground! Prayers too for Sudha whose post this is, to the Baba Hari Dass, FB feed. Om

..and so we sit.

Seems to be a theme tonight. A hint from within? Above, below or all around?

A sweetness and purity in the voices. Hang on to the memories....

Even as classes are temporarily suspended, and our beautiful Studio, our Sanctuary and Refuge closed for now, we have many places of refuge in Nature on our exquisite Island. Walking outside and taking in beauty, sitting quietly in a warm place at home, by the fire, or basking in a sunbeam coming through the window can be a place of refuge. Closing your eyes and taking refuge in the rhythm of your breath, all can be of great help at this time.

I'm delighted to be involved in this venture! Check it out.

The Studio is Temporarily Closed Until Dec 7th It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the temporary closure of Ganges Yoga Studio effective immediately, until 7 December. As requested under the following updated guideline by BC Provincial Health, the Studio will close while guidelines are under review.... BC Provincial Health Guidelines: Group indoor fitness activities https://www2.gov.bc.ca//covid-19-provincial-/restrictions Even though I know we have been doing everything in accordance with the guidelines and have offered a safe sanctuary for you we have to follow the order. All the teachers at the Studio want you to know that we care about you and we will be thinking of ways to maintain contact with you during this period. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your teachers if you need to. This is a temporary closure in accordance with the guidelines. There is no room for creative interpretation here and so, as our civic duty, we shall close and know that it is only temporary. From our hearts to yours Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi
