Love and Yoga: Happy Valentine’s Day
Yoga isn’t just about physical poses… it’s a mind-body-spirit connection. Through this personal growth and connecting to self, yoga teaches us to embrace love: for ourselves, for others and for the world around us.
Through mindfulness and movement, we cultivate compassion, gratitude, and harmony, discovering that love is the ultimate thread weaving us together.
Let love guide your practice, both on and off the mat.

How can I “shop local” and support our yoga community here in Alberta?
❤ Rather than take a yoga class from a “celebrity” teacher on YouTube, consider the hundreds of qualified and LOCAL yoga teachers we have in this province, doing both online and in-person classes. Visit our TEACHER DIRECTORY to find someone near you.
❤ Purchase your yoga props from our yoga store - we source as close to home as possible for our products (some are even made in Alberta), and just shopping with us helps us fund our outreach programs.
❤ Consider joining a local advocacy organization like ours! Sign up for a membership to the YAA and you’re supporting yoga in Alberta through Outreach Programs, teacher and student training programs, and much more. Your membership has so many perks, including a full library of recordings of different classes and professional development webinars that you can watch anytime (full and lifetime members only).
Turbulent times help remind us what is important - building our communities and spreading the benefits of yoga!
