Not flexible? No worries, neither am I!
I often struggled going to yoga classes since I often did not know what I was doing, and I never really felt like I belonged in a class full of super flexible people. That said, I have found yoga to be one of the most complete and, if done correctly, one of the best whole-body (and mind) workouts ever.
As such, I invite you to come join me, the world’s least flexible certified yoga teacher, as we try to bend the trend and get more newbies (and anyone who is interested) to join us for a slightly different type of class. Yoga is a beautiful practice that goes well beyond the physical exercise and is a wonderful antidote to overstimulated minds (like mine). I am hoping to create a safe space for anyone who, like me, is generally result-driven and who might not regularly seek out mindful practices like this. We will focus on the movements and mindfulness that comes with the practice of yoga with two goals in mind: 1) you will get a great workout (and sweat your butt off), and 2) everyone will be able to participate in the entire class.
Class details:
- Day/time: Weekly on Mondays @ 6am
- Cost: By donation only (suggested price $15-20 but essentially free so don’t let the cost stop you from coming)
- Proceeds: 100% of proceeds from the class will be donated within BC (targeting habitat protection organizations – as per my daughter’s suggestion)
- Location: Nectar Yoga dome (Thank you Andrea and Satjeet)
- Equipment: Everything is provided by Nectar Yoga studio so you do not need to bring any equipment
We are limited to approx. 18 people on a first come first serve basis.
