A lot of the images we've seen surrounding yoga in the media show incredibly strong and flexible yogis bending their bodies into pretzel-like shapes. These images make a lot of folks—especially those who have never done yoga— hesitant to try it because they don't feel strong or flexible enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're here to tell you that asana (the physical yoga practice) is about working with the body, not against it! There's no such thing as "not strong enough" or "not flexible enough" in yoga. If something doesn't feel good in your body, you don't have to do it. If laying in Savasana for an entire class is what your body needs some days, so be it! Wherever you are in a posture is the "full expression of the pose". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your body is beautiful and capable and IT IS ENOUGH. Always. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Welcome to December, everyone. ❄️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's incredible to see how much has changed over the course of one year. This time last year, we were prepping for Community Week— our week-long virtual studio open house full of free classes and new opportunities. We loved it... in fact, we loved it so much, we may just want to do it again this year. Keep your eyes peeled (;⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

‘Tis the Season to Support Local ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re almost through November and before we know it, the holidays will be upon us! Last year, we all heard the cry to support small local businesses during the holidays. For many small businesses in Brampton, a successful holiday season can make or break their year. The call to support small is something we will forever shout from the rooftops. We’re not just a yoga studio— we're also a retail space and have several small businesses and local makers who sell their products through The Aura Store. Whether you’re treating your loved ones or treating yourself, The Aura Store is a great place to start. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out our most recent blog post to learn more about all of the amazing local makers we represent in our store!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The rays of sunlight and smile say it all. Diana - we are so grateful to have you as a meditation guide, yoga instructor, reiki practitioner and oracle card reader for our community ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"“I was raised in a home where breathwork was important and the elements were always at work to heal you. As I grew older, I began to study yoga, finding my way into a Kripalu class. It was a class that spoke to my soul, using breath and movement as one, where what I did on the mat I could carry into the world. Reiki came later, energy healing was a common practice that I knew, but this Japanese alternative medicine brought a different light to my journey. I spent 5 years working my way through the levels, studying, practicing and ensuring I was ready to take on the master class. Meditation is the foundation of everything I practice, it’s the skill I used to survive, but it is also what helped me learn to live.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The body has an incredible capacity to heal. You've seen it before. As a kid, you fell and scraped your knee or got a papercut on your finger and watched as slowly, over the course of a few days, your body healed itself by sealing up the wound. Before you knew it, it was okay. Maybe not perfect—maybe it left a scar. But still, you were okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your mind, heart, and spirit have an incredible capacity to heal as well. It may not be as easy to see as a papercut or a scrape on the knee, but it's happening. It might happen slower than you'd like, and it might hurt along the way, but you can trust in yourself to close the wound. And like your body, maybe it won't be perfect. The scars left will serve as reminders, sometimes painful reminders, of what you've been through. But you are strong, and you will be okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
