✨ Inner Stillness: Monthly Meditation Group ✨
Wednesday, October 22 | 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm
Join In-Person or Online

There’s a quiet place within each of us—a place of steadiness and peace that’s always there, even when life feels full. I created this monthly meditation gathering as a space to reconnect with that inner stillness, together in community.

Each month we explore a different meditation theme—like breath, mantra, visualization, or working with the mind. We begin with gentle movement to prepare the body, then move into reflection, meditation, and deep relaxation to integrate the experience.

Whether you're building a consistent practice or simply craving a pause in your week, this gathering is for you. You are welcome exactly as you are—curious beginner or lifelong meditator.

🧘‍♀️ Open to all levels
📍 In-Person at PranaShanti Education Centre, 2nd Floor at 950 Gladstone Ave., free parking.
💻 Online via livestream
🕯 Bring an open heart
💫 Drop-in, class passes, and memberships all apply

I’d love for you to join me.

Something magical happens when we unplug from the noise of daily life and return to nature. 🍂✨

Every year I witness it—the moment when someone arrives feeling tired, overwhelmed, or a little disconnected from themselves… and by day two, their shoulders soften, their breath deepens, and their inner light flickers back on.

This is why I’m inviting you to join me for a heart-centered escape into nature:

🌲 PranaShanti Fall Yoga & Meditation Retreat

📅 November 6–9, 2025 (Thursday–Sunday)
📍 Northern Edge Algonquin, Ontario
🧘‍♀️ With me, Devinder

For four days and three soul-nourishing nights, we’ll step away from screens, routines and responsibilities—and step into presence, stillness and joy.

Together, we’ll explore:

✔️ Daily yoga + meditation
✔️ Evening symphonic sound immersions
✔️ Nutritious, wholesome meals
✔️ Nature walks under towering pines
✔️ Wood-fired sauna under the stars ✨
✔️ Cozy lakeside cabins
✔️ Quiet time to reflect, reset and renew

This isn’t just a retreat—this is a homecoming to yourself.

If your heart’s been whispering “I need a break…”
If your body is craving rest and grounding…
If your soul is ready for peace and connection…

This retreat is your invitation. 💛

This weekend always fills up—if you’re feeling the call, trust it.

🌿 A Message from Devinder — Celebrating 17 Years of PranaShanti Yoga Centre 🌿

Seventeen years ago, I opened the doors to PranaShanti Yoga Centre with a simple dream — to create a space where people could come together to breathe, heal, learn, and grow. I could never have imagined how this vision would blossom into the incredible community we have today. ✨

From those very first classes in 2008 to the thousands who now call PranaShanti home, I am filled with deep gratitude for every student, teacher, guest teacher, staff, volunteer, and friend who has shared this journey with us. Each of you has added to the light and spirit of this place — and it’s because of you that we continue to thrive. 💛

To all of the teachers and guest teachers, thank you for sharing your wisdom, heart, and dedication over the years. You are the soul of PranaShanti — your guidance and presence continue to inspire and uplift our entire community. 🌟

This October marks 17 wonderful years of yoga, growth, and connection. I invite you to celebrate with us — to practice, to connect, and to share in the joy of what we’ve built together. 🙏

🎉 Join us for celebrations October 10–17, 2025
Watch for details here and in our newsletter — we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Here’s to many more years together! 💛

With love and gratitude,
Devinder

🌱 October Teaching Theme: Growth & Nourishment 🌱

As the season deepens into autumn, we’re reminded by Ayurveda that this is a time to nourish our roots, tend to our inner fire, and create space for steady growth. Just like the trees newly planted this year through the “Free Spring Tree” initiative with the Hintonburg Community Association, we too need grounding and care to flourish.

October’s classes will focus on sustaining creative energy, nourishing body and mind, and building resilience as we move through seasonal shifts. Together we’ll explore practices that balance Vata dosha — cultivating steadiness, warmth, and nourishment through breath, movement, and meditation.

✨ Growth isn’t about rushing forward — it’s about deepening our roots so we can expand with ease. ✨

This month is also a special milestone — PranaShanti Yoga Centre’s 17 Year Anniversary! 🎉 Keep an eye on for fun details, celebrations, and offerings throughout October.

✨ This past weekend I had the honour of receiving The Breathe to Heal Facilitator Training Certificate from the world-renowned Breathwork teacher, Max Strom.

How amazing it feels to be in the seat of the student — a reminder that we never stop learning. Every training, every practice keeps the mind active, the heart open, and the spirit growing. 💫

Breathwork continues to transform not only my own life, but also the way I can serve others. Deeply grateful for the wisdom shared, the supportive community, and the reminder that learning is a lifelong journey. 🌬️🙏
