Hi,
It looks like the weather is finally starting to warm up outside and that means soon we'll be back to hosting our weekly free Yoga in the Park classes on Wednesdays and enjoying SUP Yoga out on Christie Lake! Okay, 'soon' might be a little ambitious, but it IS inevitable that someday we'll be doing yoga together outside and this long, cold winter will be a fading memory. As the weather does start to get warmer, it's time to embrace the outdoors once again, but don't just drop your yoga practice! It's the key to feeling happy, healthy, inspired AND injury-free to do everything else that you love to do like running, biking, and climbing the Chedoke stairs for Team Moksha (hint, hint...)
