MINDFULNESS TRAINING INFO SESSION ✨ Learn all about our upcoming 6-week Mindfulness Training with @rameenpeyrow tomorrow at 6pm. We invite you take part in this information session, led by Rameen and to ask any questions you may have about the training. This session is FREE of cost- come join us! In this 6-week registered training, you will learn skills that allow you to become more present and aware of your life. This offering is centred around taking back the control, empowering yourself, and living from a place of stability. Mindfulness is not just a concept, it is a practice that brings a greater sense of connection to your life. Come away with various strategies and breathing techniques to become present, and capable, of managing your daily stresses and challenges. Develop the skill of observing your thoughts and emotions so that you may RESPOND, rather than REACT, to your environment while gaining the tools necessary to soothe and nurture your nervous system. Open to all levels of practitioner.

It’s day ✌🏽 of the SATTVA Fall Cleanse and yoga challenge ✨ During our first week, we’re really setting an intention to kindly and gently release foods that are overly stimulating/rajasic (such as coffee, spices, onions and garlic) and overly heavy/tamasic (meat, dairy, processed, fatty and sugary foods) and to begin embracing ingredients that are light, balanced, sattvic. This cleanse is not just limited to the foods we eat and our physical practice, but also to our daily routine and energy that we surround ourselves with. As you integrate the cleanse this first week, take on the homework piece of mindfully eating. Observe how putting away your phone, your list of things to do, and your work to just simply sit with your meal allows for you to become present with all five senses and aware of yourself. Invite peace and balance into your day and allow yourself to embody and embrace all qualities that are sattvic. ✨ We look forward to witnessing your inner evolution through the coming weeks! 🙏🏽 #sattvayoga #sattvacleanse #ilovesattva
SATTVA Fall Cleanse ✨ Our community wide sattvic cleanse and yoga challenge begin tomorrow!

Get in touch with us for your free cleanse guide and to sign-up for our challenge! #herewego #ilovesattva #sattvayoga #sattvacleanse 📷: @ambarsphotos
The Intelligence of the Body ✨ Immerse yourself in the study of the inherent wisdom within your body through the SATTVA Foundational practices with @rameenpeyrow Oct 5-6th ✨ This is a weekend journey into the exploration of how movement through yoga postures allows for the natural intelligence of the body to surface. You will learn and experience how the integrative action line and lines of awareness bring the body back to its balance and alignment. Each individual class is designed to systematically open the body, beginning by increasing the flexibility within your legs, then working through stiffness and increasing range of motion in the hips and pelvis, lengthening and strengthening the postural muscles of the torso, and finally, improving alignment and opening within the arms, shoulders, neck and head. This workshop is meant for EVERY BODY. Whether you are a newer practitioner or have an advanced practice, each of these four sessions will offer you the tools meant to unlock flexibility, heal and strengthen your body.

Committing to the Temple ✨ Welcome to the magic and wisdom of a new season. We are feeling the shift and the call for self-nurturance so deeply. According to Ayurvedic wisdom, the ideal time for this inward journey to detoxify, ground, soothe, and awaken prana is early in the seasons of Fall and Spring. We honour this by coming together as a community twice a year (October and May) to take on the SATTVA Cleanse. This seasonal ritual promotes the sattvic qualities of balance and vitality, offering our agni (digestive fire) the opportunity to rebuild while encouraging the release of foods and habits that may be over stimulating, heavy, and holding Ama (toxicity), and that significantly impact your immunity, energy, and health within the body. Our upcoming fall cleanse is an invaluable opportunity to study the warming, supportive, agni fueling foods, practices, and self-care rituals that fall within the Sattva guna. We also invite you to pair your cleanse with a commitment to a daily practice for the month. It is an experience like no other and one that your body will thank you for! Join us as we come together throughout the month of October to find greater balance, self-awareness and restoration within our physical and energetic bodies in this transition into the fall and winter seasons. We begin Tuesday, October 1st! Who’s in?! DM, email us, or sign up at the front desk for a FREE cleanse guide ✨ #committingtothetemple #sattvacleanse #sattvafallcleanse #ilovesattva 📷: @ambarsphotos

Friday the 13th full moon 🌕 We are feeling today’s lunar energy in a big way. “Pisces is calling us to awaken compassion for our very Selves, and to extend that grace to others, because each of us, no matter what it looks like on the outside, is fighting our own battles. Right now, we don’t have all the answers, nobody does. We are needing to be okay with not knowing how it’s going to turn out. We could want to fall into despair, wanting to escape the harsh realities we are facing, but this is where we find our deep anchor. This is where we dig deeper to fully uncover and recover our primal essence. So that we can find our peace, our presence, among the turmoil and haste. Our presence requires us to be present.” — @mysticmamma So what practices can we take to honour and awaken our deep compassion? In what ways are you nurturing your Self? We’ve carefully curated an abundance of offerings over the coming weeks for you to cultivate and raise the vibration of compassion, to find balance, explore your inner landscape, and receive tools that allow you to become present, mindful and aware. From our annual Peace Day celebration to our Mindfulness Training, there is something for every one and every body. Head over to our workshops and events online to learn more about each ✨ Sending full moon blessings 🙏🏽 #sattvayoga Image: unknown

September 21 is SATTVA School of Yoga’s International Day of Peace Celebration: a United Nations appointed day devoted to the recognition of international peace and ceasefire. On this special day we take time to nurture the peace within ourselves and our environments, holding space for our global community and doing our own small part to support the whole. Inner peace to outer peace. Our goal this year is to come together, as a group of 108 yogis, to meditate on the ancient Tibetan symbol and seed sound of Hung (pronounced Hum)- a powerful and divine sound of wisdom and compassion. When used in meditation, Hum (or Hung) purifies and cleanses the practitioner from anger and hatred and brings one to embrace love, kindness and compassion, helping one achieve enlightenment and self-realization. The syllable Hung means indivisibility or something which cannot be torn apart. It is a reminder that within us all, we hold an unbreakable source of purity and light. This symbol is also adorned by @rameenpeyrow at his heart centre (second image). We invite you to join us in holding space as a collective community for an evening of exploration into the wisdom of this mantra and to honour the Sattvic qualities of harmony, balance and peace that exists within all beings. Saturday, September 21 6:00-8:30pm This event is by donation (cash only), with ALL proceeds going towards the Inner Peace Project. DM, visit, or register online to reserve your space. PLEASE WEAR WHITE! #frominnerpeacetoouterpeace #omshanti #peaceday
