"Gratitude and attitude are not challenges; they are choices. "

Robert Braathe

Honouring the season of gratitude, we would like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to our members, class pass holders, and all who have attended classes, workshops or trainings with us. At Beyond Yoga & Wellness Studio we love what we do and we're grateful to have such a wonderful community who shares our passion for health and wellness.

Wishing you a calm and energizing autumn!

Please make sure to visit our website. We have a variety of classes and workshops not mentioned in this newsletter. So many wonderful classes, inspiring workshops, and opportunities for yoga teachers to deepen their knowledge.

Featured Workshops

The process of creating Mandalas is about self-healing, self-expression and self-exploration. Your feelings and instincts guide you through this creative process. The very nature of creating a Mandala, it's healing geometric designs, is both therapeutic and symbolic.

Our workshop begins and ends in a circle of connection wholeness and unity. A guided chakra meditation will allow you to energetically connect deeply within and help to guide your colour choices and intention for your unique soul stone.

Restorative yoga activates the body’s rest, digest, and heal response. For pregnant women and new moms, whose bodies and minds are constantly working to support new life, restorative yoga is a perfect way to help your body rest and regenerate. Restorative yoga also allows your mind a rest from the stresses and anxieties you may be feeling during pregnancy, in preparation for birth and beyond.

Connect to the present moment through a yoga flow sequence to release and understand forgiveness. Discover the power of how your thoughts shape your reality and through introspection discover barriers to love's presence. Pause for a nourishing snack and connection. Conclude the day with sound meditation wrapping you up in the most powerful healing force there is…love. This workshop offers deep connection to yourself, the season of autumn and the HYL teachings that positively impact your life and those around you.
