108 SUN SALUTATIONS CLASS

Celebrate the arrival of summer with Diane Lanthier on June 21st from 9:30 a.m. to 12;00 p.m. for "108 Sun Salutations", an ancient yogic tradition that welcomes the change of seasons.

Why 108? A sacred number in many traditions...
- There are 108 Upanishads - Indian Philosophy's Vedic Text
- Shiva, an important in Hindu God, has 108 names
- Traditional Tibetan malas are strung with 108 beads
- According to Yogic tradition we have 108 marma points of life force energy in the body

That's a whole lot of Sun Salutations right? No worries, we will be giving you lots of breaks and options throughout the practice so that you can work at just the right pace for you.

Cost: A minimum donation of $20, which goes to support our community partners, the Kanata Food Cupboard and Chrysalis House. Register here

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Meet Diane Lanthier...

How has yoga made a difference in your life?

Prior to starting my personal yoga practice, I was considered somewhat shy and lacked the self confidence to talk in front of even a small group of people. Yoga helped give me a level of confidence and self esteem that I didn't know that I had. Read more...

How do your students inspire you?

My students inspire me to become a better teacher. The students challenge me to continuously improve my teaching as they grow in their own practice. I am excited to see when a student has an "aha" moment when they realize that they can do what they thought was not possible. Read more...

What's on your playlist?

I love all types of music, but not all are appropriate for a yoga class. My playlist has some Norah Jones, James Blunt, Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran, Enya, Eva Cassidy and for Yin, Todd Norian and Temmy Lewis.

Join Diane on Sunday, June 21st at 9:30 a.m. for the 108 Sun Salutations class. Diane also teaches Hatha All Levels and Gentle Yoga at Beyond.

BEYOND THE MAT... FUN FACTS FOR THE INQUIRING YOGI!

Namaste- An ancient greeting

It's so common for yoga teachers to end classes with "Namaste". We place palms together at the heart, bow and end our practice with this simple greeting. This is a simple gesture with deep roots. "Namaste" or "Namaskar" is the common form of greeting in India, often used by Hindus when greeting or parting company. It is similar to when we say "Hello" and "Goodbye" to each other. The combination of the "Namaste" greeting accompanied by a slight bow and hands pressed together at the chest known as Anjali mudra literally means: "The Spirit in me salutes the Spirit in you" or "The Divine in me honours the divine in you" and my personal favorite "The light in me honours the light in you".

Whichever greeting appeals to you, it's a simple gesture to honour one another, our teacher and the tradition of yoga.

Until we meet again ....Namaste

WELLNESS TIPS WITH THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS

Whole Body Healing

Longer daylight hours and warmer days means summer is just around the corner! More people are out on the Greenbelt pathways and River Parkways engaging in great exercise such as walking, running and biking. In general, our spirits and energy are up. To help support our increased drive for health and wellness, it's important that we nourish our bodies with lots of water and nutrients. Here are a couple of suggestions to help support your body during the summer months:

1) Infuse your water. Infused water with such combinations of mint and cucumber or lemon and lime citrus give extra nutrients to our bodies and are often more inspiring to drink.

2) Buy local. Check out local farmer's markets or sign up for a community shared agriculture to not only support local farmers but also decrease your carbon footprint and increase the nutrients in your food. Nutrients deplete during transportation from fields to plates so optimize on nutrient consumption with locally grown food.

Therapeutic Effects is located at Beyond! Appointments can be booked at http://www.therapeuticeffects.ca/ or by calling

613-797-5481. For more information on the services that Erin and Nicole offer, click here
