Did you know? We are 31% more effective when we have a positive mindset! And the quickest way to cultivate positivity?? ... GRATITUDE. So simple! Expressing Gratitude every day can boost your mood, productivity, and even your health. It also transports you right into the present moment. So amazing! So our tip for you today is to practice Gratitude, and it's super easy to get started. Try a gratitude meditation; start a gratitude journal; post your top 3 Gratitudes on social media every day; or text them to a friend and start a gratitude practice together! The key is to really FEEL the gratitude. So close your eyes, put your hands on your heart, and take some deep, heart-centered breaths. Allow the warmth of gratitude to begin to grow in your heart, and ask yourself who/what you are grateful for in this moment. Don't stifle it, just let it flow! Say them out loud, or write them down to feel it even more. Bask in that warm feeling. So here's your first opportunity: Who or what are you grateful for RIGHT NOW? Tell us in the comments! #kalayoga #orangeville #orangevilleyoga #yogastudio #yoga #meditation #mindfulness #gratitude #gratitudepractice #gratitudejournal #gratitudemeditation #grateful #mindfulmonday #mindfulmondaytip #selflove #selfcare #positivity

We know things are tough right now... so let’s raise the vibration together! Please enjoy this clip from our Virtual Sonic Kirtan last month, with the beautiful combination of Jason Maraschiello on the Auracle Drum and Laurin Wolf on vocals and frame drum. You can totally just chill out or sing along as loud as you like! Hope it helps you unwind tonight, Yogis

It's Mindful Monday! And we have another Meditation technique for you to try today Single-Pointed Focus is a style of meditation that's pretty much what it sounds like ~ you pick one thing to focus on, and let that be the anchor for your meditation. This can include many things! You could choose to focus on your breath, one of your senses, a mantra, or something more external like a Yantra or Candle-Gazing Meditation. ... Jason has some great guided practices on his Insight Timer page for you to practice with! We suggest trying the Yogic Breath meditation, or the Ganesha Mantra. Link below! Let us know if you try some Single-Pointed Focus Meditation, we would love to hear about it! Have a great Monday, Yogis https://insighttimer.com/jasonmaraschiello #kalayoga #orangeville #orangevilleyoga #yogastudio #yoga #meditation #mindfulness #mindfulnessmeditation #mindfulmonday #singlepointedfocus #yogicbreath #mantra #yantra #trataka #focus #meditationpractice #mindfulnesstip @jason.hpl @jasonmaraschiello

5 YEARS AGO we officially opened the doors of Kala Yoga! In some ways it has felt like it has flown by, and on the other hand it’s like, Five years? Is that all?!??! So much has happened in these last five years, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found a home here. We wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for our amazing Community of Yogis ~ our teachers and students, our families and friends, our beautiful little town. ... We look forward to continuing this journey with you, navigating the unforeseeable future and helping to dream and create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. For us, that’s what it’s all about!!! Special shout-out to our beautiful friend Michelle @parivartanyoga. Without you, we wouldn’t have had this amazing opportunity when we did!

This weekend is Black Friday, yes... but even better it is Small Business Saturday!!! On a weekend that is infamous for consumerism and big box store blowouts, let's bring some consciousness instead to Small Businesses! Who, in these difficult times, desperately need your support. Wherever you live, we would love to invite and encourage you this weekend to have a re-think about where your money goes. Your purchases say everything ~ where your money goes is where emphasis, en...ergy, and importance are placed. So, with your money, wouldn't you prefer to support small, local businesses, entrepreneurs, and makers of all kinds in YOUR Community, that directly impact where you live, and who put their money BACK into your Community? When you support small businesses, you are supporting people JUST LIKE YOU, and you are telling them with your dollars, that they are valued and what they do is important. Sadly right now, so many small businesses have had to close ~ either temporarily or permanently ~ while uber-rich corporations are making more money than ever. It is through these small acts of conscious consumerism that we can support one another in these difficult times, strengthen our Communities, get to know each other better, and make a real difference in the world. Truly. Think globally, act locally. So if you have a small business, please comment with your handle or website below! You can also add your location/community and what you do/make if you like We would love to support you both in-person and online, as so many of us are in lockdown right now. Gift cards are always wonderful gifts, and they support businesses who are struggling now to stay afloat so they can re-open when the time comes. #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssaturday #blackfriday #consciousconsumer #consciousconsumerism #supportsmallbusiness #shopsmallbusiness #shoplocal #ecofriendly #ecoconscious #community #supportoneanother @kalayogainc @healingmoon_on_mill @the.aurahouse @amberastrology @taphousecraftbeer @orangevilleveganmeals @carleyjohnsonhealing @parivartanyoga @yogawithhema @the.willow.tree.path @the_untamed_goddess @elevate.hersoul @theknotandneedle @hotyogawellnessbrampton @thevillagerefillery @orangevillechristmasmarket @crossfit.orangeville @piasonbroadway @wckdshortbread @toprockclimbing @emerson_coaching_services @luckylimeclinic @bearcubcoffee @downtownoville @honeybee.apothecary.spa @goodlot.beer @hockley.pickling.co @rjdayspaorangeville @busy1izzy @crafting_in_the_valley @branchingoutsupportservices @jkskarateteam @naturalchoice205 @jason.hpl

Happy Diwali, Yogis! Today (and for the next 5 days) we celebrate the triumph of light over dark, which seems especially powerful and hopeful right now than most years. Let's challenge ourselves to focus on being kind to each other and seeing the light in other people over the dark. Let's focus on the ways in which we CAN gather and support one another in Community. Let's build each other up, and stop tearing others down. ... Let's strive to be our best selves every day, and to take care of the other beautiful beings and this beautiful planet we call home. Let's BE the light. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. Om. #kalayoga #orangeville #orangevilleyoga #yogastudio #yoga #diwali #diwali2020 #festivaloflights #hindufestival #celebratethelight #bethelight #bekind #ganesha #kali #lakshmi #ahimsa #lokahsamastahsukhinobhavantu

We have two NEW CLASSES starting this week! Community Class: Fridays at 6-7pm... Community Meditation: Sundays 7:30-8:15pm We are so excited to be able to offer these classes again, because we have several new Yoga Teacher Trainees who are starting to teach public classes! Both of these classes have a rotating roster of instructors, both new and experienced, and they are also both Pay What You Can ~ meaning, you can use your existing membership/pass or donate to attend the class. Suggested donation is $5-15. Any donation is welcome! And these donations go towards our Kala Community Projects, such as fundraisers for special causes and Yoga Scholarships for those in financial need. There are 2 more spots left for tonight's In-Studio Community Class with Ann (and plenty of space online), and you can also join in both at the Studio and online for this Sunday's Community Meditation with Claudia. Practice with us from wherever you prefer!
