Dearest Nirmana Community,

As we transition into the Spring & Summer season, it's time that I share with you a bigger shift upcoming for our space & community.

After a long process of inner reflection, soul searching, and multiple reports, it is with deep peace and a full heart that I announce: Nirmana Yoga will be closing its doors permanently at the end of our lease, October 31, 2025.

This decision has not come easily, but over the past year it has become clear that maintaining our physical studio space is no longer financially sustainable. Our move from the vibrant, waitlisted classes in our original Bowmanville home to the serene and sacred setting in Orono brought change—not just in location, but in community rhythm. While we lovingly said goodbye to some familiar faces, we also opened our doors to new ones. What blossomed in Orono has been deeply meaningful—a quieter, more intimate chapter that many of us have called the most beautiful yet. We’ve expanded in spirit, deepened in connection, and honored the essence of yoga in every breath we’ve shared here.

This ending does not diminish the sacredness of what we’ve co-created—it invites us into the sacred dance of transition, a release of the past so that we can fully embrace what lies ahead.

As we move forward, we will begin adjusting our class schedule to reflect current attendance trends. If there are classes you love and want to see continue, please show up for them in May. Consider it a loving vote with your mat—your presence helps shape our final schedule together.

Here’s how you can support us now:
1. Show up. Come to class regularly and help shape the schedule by attending your favourites this month.
2. Join upcoming workshops and trainings that speak to your heart.
3. Use all remaining class passes before they expire on October 31, 2025.
4. Stay present. Let this time be a living practice in presence, gratitude, and community.

From the very first class to the final savasana, we are so incredibly grateful for every single person who has walked through our doors. Your presence has shaped this space into something truly sacred.

Let's make these final months meaningful & magical ✨️🫶

Unity | Yoga

In a world that often feels divided, the ancient teachings of Samkhya and Yoga offer a timeless reminder: beneath all differences, we are interconnected.

Samkhya philosophy teaches that the universe is composed of Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter)—a duality that exists within each of us. Yet, beyond these distinctions lies an inherent unity, a shared essence that transcends the surface of our identities.

Yoga, as described in the Yoga Sutras, is the path that helps us experience this unity directly. Through practice, we move beyond the fluctuations of the mind (chitta vritti) and recognize that separation is an illusion. When we cultivate awareness, compassion, and presence, we create a collective harmony that extends far beyond our mats.

Now, more than ever, these teachings call us to rise above division and return to what truly connects us: breath, awareness, and love. Enrich your mind with these teachings and deepen your personal practice with one of our many Yoga training programs.

How can you embody unity in your practice today? Share your thoughts with us below... ✍️

Move with Purpose, Give with Heart

Join us for a special gentle yoga flow infused with breathwork and mindfulness in support of Bethesda House, a vital organization providing safety and support for women and families in our community.

This all-levels class will guide you into a space of deep relaxation and awareness, leaving you feeling refreshed and centered.

This event is proudly sponsored by lululemon Oshawa Centre, and we encourage you to continue the spirit of community by shopping local after class—including at 2nd Chance Thrift Store, located just across the street, which directly supports Bethesda House.

These 2 little monkeys are counting down the days...

Okay, hear me out… What if, instead of daydreaming about warm weather, you actually woke up in Bali this April, sipping tea by the river, stretching into the most delicious morning yoga practice, and soaking in the magic of this sacred land?

Our Return to Love retreat (April 13–23) at Fivelements in Mumbal, Bali is the dreamiest way to wrap up this long & snowy winter—and we just might be able to snag one more cottage for a sneaky last two guests. Hint, hint!

Picture this:

✨ Waking up in a luxury eco-suite with an open-air bathhouse and the sounds of the jungle around you.
✨ Daily yoga, meditation & heart-expanding workshops to nourish your soul.
✨ Plant-based feasts (think three-course gourmet meals that make your body sing).
✨ Balinese healing rituals like Agni Hotra fire ceremonies and spa treatments.
✨ Adventures & cultural experiences that will make you fall in love with Bali.

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deep, and return to love.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to do something unforgettable this year… this is it. Let’s make some magic together!

Tag your retreat buddy and DM us for details!
