Yoga for Fascia Stretch and Release with Padmini
November 22nd, Saturday: 1pm – 3pm
Cost: $38
Fascia is connective tissue in the body that supports muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, bones,
organs, blood vessels, and nerves. It plays a key role in flexibility, mobility, and posture.
In this workshop, yoga poses (asanas) will be held in a yielding and meditative manner for longer periods in order to stretch and loosen fascia in selected areas of the body. To enhance the benefits of the asanas, breathing exercises and a short meditation will also be included.
Benefits:
. improved mobility and range of motion
. improved flexibility
. improved circulation
. removal of blockages, which allows Prana, the vital energy, to flow more freely
. deep relaxation and inner stillness
. reduction in stress and tension
This workshop is suitable for yoga students of all levels.
Please feel free to bring your own blocks, cushions, belts, bolsters, and/or blankets.

Kirtan for Community – Forth York Food Bank
Saturday, November 22nd, 5-6.30pm (minimum donation $15 to Forth York Food Bank)
Yoga asks us to act—not only on the mat, but in our communities. Kirtan is a practice of chanting for the divine, which we can recognize within ourselves, in our family and community.
This month, we will use our voices, music, and resources to support our neighbours through the work of Fort York Food Bank, which provides food to individuals and families in need, and also offers support with employment, housing, and access to social programs.
Participation is open to everyone. Bring your voices, instruments, chants, or lyrics to share – or simply come to listen and join the collective chanting.
REGISTRATION: Please donate directly to Fort York Food Bank (minimum $15; please contribute more if you are able)
After making your donation, please email us at [email protected] with a confirmation (screenshot or email receipt). This will serve as your entry for the kirtan.
