It’s true! I thought this blog would be a great way for our yoga community to connect more deeply, expand and reach out beyond the studio doors. So much yoga happens off the mat and in our everyday lives. I hope this will become a forum or platform for sharing and getting to know each other.

After leaving Canmore for almost a year, it became apparent to me that we have a special and vibrant community here. One that is so supportive in healthy relationships and lifestyle. I’d always known this but I guess it took a step away to solidify.

I want to share with you a quote that was passed on to me from my dear friend Alli in Squamish. For me it embodies the true essence of community.

Community

I believe we are destined to meet the people who will support, guide, and nurture us on our life’s journey, each of them appearing at the appropriate time, accompanying us at least part of the way. I think specific human beings, sometimes only in spirit, will present themselves in a way that their presence will shape and reshape our hearts until we are more fully who we are. This particular magic or synchronicity is activated by something both simple and profound: we must adhere to our own particular way. That is the only chance we have to meet those spirits who wander along our road…we must persist in being true to our most individual soul.
