We honour this day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, with learning and reviewing the 94 Calls to Action, sharing images, information, stories and recognition. Connecting with one another, the earth, and in silence for those lost and those still suffering.

The meaning behind these visuals, bring together symbols of the 3 Indigenous groups across Canada: the eagle for First Nations, the narwhal for Inuit, and the beaded flower for the Métis. At the centre is a circle which symbolizes unity and the spirit of reconciliation, while the pathway running through it represents the reconciliation journey. The stars symbolize the children who never returned home from residential schools. The orange colour represents truth-telling and healing.

Alaria at LWMC specializes in somatic movement based approaches for healing, for nervous system regulation and reducing the effects of trauma. We prioritize holistic approaches to wellness and self-awareness. Helping you connect more deeply to self, others and to nature.

If you are Indigenous, please consider booking a Private Somatic Education Session with Alaria. Mention the code Reconciliation50 and get 50% off of your session or class pass until Nov 30/25. For Indigenous students only.

Active Living: Embrace the Energy 🌟

Are you ready to step into a healthier, more vibrant version of yourself? 💪✨

Active living isn't just about being physical—it's about moving your body in a variety of ways every day, fueling your energy through nutrition, good rest, and embracing every moment with purpose and joy.

Active Living encourages us to create healthy social connections through activity. Movement helps us process our thoughts and emotions, grounding us and helping us get through difficult circumstances with greater mental clarity, ease, compassion and resilience.

Ways you can get more active today!

🏃‍♀️ Take a walk in the fresh air down by Cobourg Beach!

🚴‍♂️ Ride your bike to discover new places

🧘‍♂️ Stretch your mind and body with yoga or meditation

💃 Dance like no one's watching for one song a day—because why not?

Every step, stretch, and jump counts toward a life filled with strength and vitality.
Let’s make movement a lifestyle, not a chore 🌈

Tag us and share how YOU stay active! 🌍👇



📸 Reminder: The best time to start is NOW. Let’s do this together! 🙌

Together not only for the great effect of fitness, but also to come together and just be ourselves, and enjoy a sense of belonging together, sharing our energy and unity that Yoga brings.

Yoga is a powerful modality that can help you to grow as an individual in so many ways. We are here to support your growth in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.
