Prana Yoga Festival
197 1 St SW T2P 4M4 Calgary, AB, Canada

Yesterday we sent an email out to our subscribers with a pretty vulnerable message. While it's a little long to post here, we'll give you the gist of it. Two years ago we decided that Calgary needed a yoga festival, just like every other big city. We felt like our yoga community was strong, supportive, and we were not disappointed in the response. With the help of studios, teachers and all fellow yogis the Prana Yoga Festival came together successfully. The next year we switc...hed things up and decided that one day festivals were more financially feasible for both us AND our attendees so we teamed with Amy Thiessen and developed Your Yoga Collective, a series of four one-day events. Our first event in January, INTEND, was beautiful and incredible. Our next event in May, ENGAGE, had its own quirks but was still a success. To plan, organize and implement these events we have put in hundreds of hours of work and, despite the apparent success of them, have lost thousands of dollars. After two years of planning and hosting events while working full time jobs has made it very clear that the reason we are continuing to do this is because we are passionate about bringing events like these to our yoga community. All that being said, our next event, REFLECT happens next weekend on October 13 and we have only sold 12 tickets. This is why we are calling on you, Calgary yogis, to help us spread the word about our event and buy your ticket now! We need to sell 38 tickets in the next three days in order to move forward with REFLECT. Help us bring this beautiful event from dreams to reality. We're counting on you! With love, Amy, Danielle and Rebecca Tickets reflectcollective.eventbrite.ca

Fall is so beautiful, but just SO EFFING BUSY for everyone! How did summer go by so fast? How did I not go/do/see all the things/people I wanted to? I'm not ready for the holiday season/dealing with my kid's school/cold weather... That's what's going on in our brains, and we think there's a good chance you can relate. This is why REFLECT is curated the way it is! It may only be a one day festival, but sometimes that all we can afford in either time or money. It's a day focuse...d on taking a f*cking breath, letting your muscles relax and allowing your heart to expand. It's a day we want all of you to be a part of. Our full line up and class description is up on our website. Have a look for yourself and before you let that little voice tell you, "No", take the leap and buy your pass. You won't regret it. reflectcollective.eventbrite.ca

To help make your day at REFLECT even more stress-free, we have teamed up with Turmeric to offer four plant-based food bowls you can pre-order and simply pick up and eat at the festival. Do you think you would like the Popeye Bowl, Tamarind Tango, Cozy Cumin or Mighty Eggplant? Check out the options at eatturmeric.ca/yogacollective

Dive in to realign. Set your intention for the day with a traditional Puja Ceremony with Pooja Tolani. Flow in a 90 minute class with Kate Mak while listening to the story of Sati and Shiva, all curated to music by Amy Thiessen.... Break for lunch and some gentle contemplation. Pre-order your lunch with Turmeric to make the day even more stress-free. Root into your being with movement and yin taught by Stephanie Nosco, accompanied by a harpist. Be enveloped in sonic soundscapes and let the music heal you. Come together in meditation and mantra to seal it all in. See you October 13!

"Because its primary purpose is to free up space for us to grow and discover, a retreat of even brief periods can really help." You don't need a full weekend to enjoy a recharge. REFLECT is a one day yoga festival happening Saturday October 13. You don't need to be there super early in the morning, and it finishes at 4pm, leaving your evening free for whatever else you love to do on the weekend!
