Has India been on your radar of places to experience?

If so, perhaps a guided pilgrimage into the foothills of the Himalayans would be a good fit for you!

March 2026, .ji.c will be in India and has made some space on her schedule to host a small group of people who would like to explore yogic living, cultural experiences and retreat into a spiritual journey from March 10 - 21!

Maybe this is the nudge to think about an Indian pilgrimage a little more seriously! And if it is, REACH OUT for details!

***Please note that we will not arrange any travel related activities. However, are very happy to help guide you to people who can arrange your travel and support you along the way to finding your way to India with us!***

Why Yoga? And why keep coming back over and over again....

Good question.

I guess first we have to know what is yoga. Yoga is a practice of purposefully knowing what it feels like to be here and now. Using a mat, thats a form of yoga that allows us to access the practice from a physical approach. Touching your toes... cool. Folding in half... fun? But lets be honest, you can do that in a gymnastics class too! What makes yoga, yoga... is purposefully coming back to the mind and its busy-ness. OVER and OVER again.

The body also has a brilliant way of holding our emotions. Fears, insecurities, joy, memories, they all hide in our body. So does stress. So as we move the body with purpose, there is an intention to feel. Sometimes we feel great, other times, we get so ANNOYED by the teacher who keeps telling us to slow down and breathe. Noticing this all, without reacting hastily - NOW, this is a mature practice.

So why do we keep coming back to it over and over again?
Because we are human! Having daily human experiences. We experience stress, fear, grief, joy, excitement and so much more. The practice of consistently coming back to the mat gives us the reminder to breathe and know that all of this will pass - and with space, we can see further and wider.

Yoga - creating a flexible mind for over 5000 years!

Wednesdays under the Bodhi Tree are very special days! They are a day where you can settle into this mid-week, and do so supported by this lovely gem!

Cindy holds space for you with two offerings:

9am gentle hatha - a practice intended for all that supports your restfulness, while moving the body in ways to keep it going for the rest of the week!

11am chair yoga - using a chair as the support, this practice aims to build strength for longevity and mobility, while stretching out the tight spots!

You can go on to our website today to pre-register for either of these classes, stock up on your class packages (which the Bodhi Summer Sale is still active!!) or to plan the next week of classes!
