A beloved member of our MYH family passed away on October 19th from a rare form of aggressive cancer. Nicola Jones had a mission in life. It was to be a conduit for light, bringing more peace and positivity into the world. Through her meditation and vision board workshops, Prescription 4 Peace blog, Take it Outside program on CHCH, and through her general way of being in the world, she taught us to see the light in ourselves, the beauty in the world around us, and to see love and compassion in the eyes of others. She also taught us to cultivate peace from within, not to feed into the drama and distractions of the world around us, and most of all, she taught us to live in an intentional and selfless way, shining brightly to those around us, so that they too can flourish in the light. 

This is the legacy that we are committed to carrying on through Moksha Yoga Hamilton.

In honour of Nicola, and to help cover the costs of her medical expenses and care for her 9 year old son, all staff and teachers will be volunteering their time at the studio this weekend, and proceeds from classes and retail sales will be donated to Nicola's family.

Here's what else we have going on this month at MYH...

flowYoga For Nicola

 

Our beloved Nicola fought an aggressive cancer for a year and never gave up. She wasn't afraid to die, but she wanted to live. She fought to the end, and when there were no more options in Canada, she went to Mexico for alternative treatment.

 

This weekend, Sat Nov 1st and Sun Nov 2nd, all Staff and Teachers are volunteering and proceeds from class and retail sales are being donated to Nicola's family to help cover medical expenses. Any additional funds will go to her son in trust. 

 

Please come by this weekend for support. There's never been a better excuse to buy lulu!

Join us for Friday night Karma classes every week at 7:30pm. It's a regular Moksha class, but it's run by-donation (minimum $7) and this month it all goes to Movember!
