[COLLECTIVE CONVERSATIONS] Part one: How did you find yoga? I honestly never ever ever tried it or wanted to do it. I always thought, I’m so inflexible, I can’t touch my toes, I’m never going to yoga. Then I found myself alone in India for an internship. No family, no friends, so much silence. I told myself I needed to bring home something more than material goods. I needed to bring back awareness, a new way of thinking, a practice. So I tried my first yoga class: it fell ...right in my lap. My guru was authentic and real. I went everyday for the remainder of my journey there and found so much peace in the time I spent with myself. When I got back to Canada I definitely struggled with practicing for genuine reasons versus to fuel my ego. But, slowly, as I started to realize problems within myself in other realms of my life (my relationship with myself, with my partner, with trust, with my thoughts) yoga became so much more than pretty photos and a workout. It became a way to sit with discomfort and comfort. It became a way for me to learn about all the ways my mind had been wired. It became a way for me to learn about my higher Self. So I went back to India to get my training. From there, everything started falling into place. I am loving this journey. Lucid has been so pivotal in it: as have all of you. You all teach me so much. Not only about the practice but about how to be: how to be true to myself, how to respect the space of others, how to deal with certain things I struggle with, how to be a better person. Thank you all so much ~ @jahaan_satya See more
[COLLECTIVE CONVERSATIONS] How did you find yoga? Part 4: I was exposed to the Asanas in jr. high and high school. And then when I was 17, I signed myself up for 10 days of yoga at this ashram in BC. It was not what I expected. Everyone was all modest dressed and quiet and going inward. The ten days of yoga ended up exposing me to all of the limbs. I hated it. I couldn’t wait to go home. I was so anxious to be facing myself for the first time. The stillness was too much. The... silence was deafening. But I saw the whole thing through - and that’s when the journey really began. The first night I got home, I was smoking cigarettes again and drinking. It felt so good to hide again - to abandon myself. When I got home, I started university and kept doing asana. Yoga was more of an ego based thing for me back then. I identified as a yogi. But I would still party on the weekends & get black out drunk - all the time. I was suffering inside. Flash forward a year: I was the worst I had been. Nineteen and a functional MESS. I just kept dragging myself to yoga. Just go tanj. Just go. It’s all I had to keep me grounded. I started doing slow classes instead of faster flows and found myself really sitting with my self. I found some peace here. After that, I went travelling for four months - when I came home, I quit drinking and met myself for the first time. My REAL self. I did my yoga training a couple months later. ~ @tanjeryne See more
[COMMUNITY] We start showing up to the mat for ourselves as individuals - but what keeps us coming back (even in the cold weather!) is the community we have here. Thank you to the collective for continuing to show up to our classes through snowy days and blue skies! The community of wholesome individuals we have here makes it possible for us to keep offering quality & affordable yoga downtown.... If you haven’t signed up for Month of Love yet, make sure you do soon! We have 15 passes total & spots are filling up quickly. We are looking forward to the journey of self- love we will take as individuals & the sharing we will do as a community. xx - Lucid See more
[COMING HOME] Our lovely foundational flow teacher @_kimberlyyu is finally home from her journey through the Philippines. She has spent the last month reconnecting to her roots & exploring herself on her trip. We are all inspired by her adventure into the the world and into the self. We are so happy to have you home & back at Lucid, Kim!! (Especially because there was a volcano eruption right before she made the journey home.) Join her for her Foundations class Tuesday at 6pm ||
[SATURDAY FLOW] Our beautiful instructor, Jahaan, this morning after leading her Saturday morning Flow class. It was a grounding & invigorating start to the day. Jay takes care of a lot of the social media posts you see here to keep the collective alive & running smoothly. Thanks Jay, we all appreciate you.
[ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & RECONCILIATION] At lucid we are made up of a culturally diverse collective of teacher and are inclusive to people from all walks of gender orientation and/or cultural backgrounds. We want to acknowledge and honour the land which we are so lucky to host our classes on, Treaty Six Territory - as the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We are grateful to them for sharing this land with us so that we may offer classes for everyone from all walks of life to gather together & rejoice in the universally inclusive practice of yoga. @ Lucid Yoga Collective
