Anahata: Opening to the Wisdom of Your Heart
February is known as Heart Month. We may have taken a cue from the stillness of winter, and especially during our lockdown, to explore new ways to support our health. As we venture down these new paths, be it through experimenting with nourishing foods, or embracing new activities, how do we decide where to direct our energy? What patterns do we choose to repeat and which ones are we better off without? In other words, what makes your heart happy?
The heart chakra, or heart energy centre, is referred to as Anahata which is Sanskrit, meaning infinite, or boundless. When we engage in activities or make choices that make us feel light and joyful, we are acting in alignment with our heart wisdom. These generative choices "feel good" in our bodies and the benefits go well beyond the physical. We are inspiring an abundance of love and joy which begins within us but quickly spreads to connect to the world around us.
We hope to support your ongoing physical, mental and spiritual development as our studio re-opens this week with the return of our in-studio offerings, while continuing to offer a full roster of virtual classes, workshops, and mini-sessions. It is our heartfelt desire that you continue to have access to explore all paths that align with your inner wisdom and make your heart happy.
Shining your inner light from this heart happy space and continuing to Shine Brighter Together in community.
Thank you,
Your Beyond Team

We are excited to announce our new working relationship with James Knight, founder of Gentle Somatic Yoga.

New Virtual Workshop, Gentle Somatic Yoga |
|

Our first virtual collaboration is set for Sunday, March 28th, and is an afternoon dedicated to sharing an introduction to this liberating art of movement practice.
Awaken what’s Possible for you with Gentle Somatic Yoga®. In this practice, you’ll experience restorative sequences, called Somatic Movement Flows®, which are ideal for unwinding stiffness, pain, and postural imbalances, and will dramatically increase flexibility through brain-to-muscle re-education.
Many of our instructors will be in attendance and we would love it if you could join in too!

This flavourful warm cabbage salad topped with crispy tofu is a delicious, simple dish. It can pair nicely as a side dish or hold its own as a main. Add the veggies you have on-hand and top with seeds, nuts or crisp noodles to make it your own. It can be eaten immediately or prepared ahead (save those crunchy toppings for serving.) |

We've reached out to our Beyond instructors and staff and asked them to share some of their own practices with you, our Beyond community.
