2025 Yoga Calendar
Inspired by Elle D'Amico's yoga students, her poem, I Would Practice Anywhere," was written and then created into a 2025 wall calendar. Illustrated by accomplished artist, Aura Vanderwal, each month features an animated, hand-painted image to accompany the playful verses.
Excerpt from "I Would Practice Anywhere"
By Elle D’Amico
I would practice anywhere, on the floor or in a chair.
I would practice in the cold, Sun Salutes then Forward Fold.
A blue, a green, or pink yoga mat, on my face I’ve fallen flat.
I don’t care if people stare, I would practice anywhere.
This richly illustrated calendar is a trove of rhyming simple truths, that will make any yoga lover smile.

Kirtan: An Evening of Song and Devotion
w/Ricardo Allen
Sunday, January 12, 2025
7:00p-8:30p $25 + gst |
For those who find meditation challenging, kirtan, offers the possibility for the same stillness of mind, without the struggle or striving to concentrate. By simply repeating mantras or words, you can release your mind from its daily chatter. This practice has a powerful heart-opening effect as well.
Traditionally, kirtan is sung in a group with the kirtan walla, or chant leader, calling out words or phrases, which the audience repeats back in kind. (You may have already experienced this by chanting, "om" in class. ) The singing is often accompanied by musical instrument such as a harmonium and guitar. Everyone is encouraged to join in. Try it! |
