Yoga from the Heart Canada

We took advantage of the warm weather last week to hold one last yoga class this season on the rooftop patio. The last hour of the class was by candlelight since it's getting dark earlier. The participants had the big city view (including CN tower). It was a magical night.

We are offering a free online study circle on the book written by Sri Aurobindo entitled The Mother (Monday evenings, 7pm, starting September 12, 2022). We will explore this short revelatory book in connection with the experiential commentary of enlightened master Sat Shree of New Dharma (who is Anne's meditation teacher).

This course is for anyone who is interested in spirituality (or anyone who is simply wondering why the hell she/he is here on this earth in a human body ... what is the purpose of our lives?). If you are interested to join the introductory meeting on Monday Sept. 12 (to see if this course might be for you) then please send a message with your email address, and we will forward the invitation email to you (with more information, and the Zoom link).

It's been great getting back to in-person classes at the downtown Toronto studio after the pandemic shutdowns. And now that it's summer, we're just loving it out on the rooftop patio!
Feel free to reach out for more information in case you'd like to join us.

An in-person Covid-19 yoga class wearing masks, sparsely attended by two dedicated students. It was such a warm evening, we managed to hold the entire class on the rooftop patio. Final shavasana under the rising moon.

Anne just returned from South India where she attended a 6-week meditation retreat with her new meditation teacher Sat Shree of New Dharma. Both India and the retreat were magical. Anne will try to bring some of that magic into the regular weekly yoga classes in Toronto which resume Monday, March 4.

Today the final class of Yoga from the Heart Canada to be held in the sweet boutique studio setting at Spiritwind Centre in Kensington Market took place. It was both a privilege and a delight to run the program out of this space for the past 5 years (but now the landlord is taking it back). Thank you to Dylan Kirk, director of Spiritwind Centre, for creating the friendly community vibration around the space, and for renting it out at affordable rates. In spite of how much we will miss this space and community, nevertheless, we look forward to holding the yoga classes at the new location at the Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at 283 Spadina Ave (at Dundas), starting in the new year. Om.

Anne just returned from Italy where she attended a yoga seminar conducted by spiritual teacher, Heinz Grill, founder of Yoga out of the Purity of the Soul, upon which Yoga from the Heart Canada is based. The graceful Heinz Grill teaches out of Aatman (the Higher Self), and Anne did her yoga teacher training with him in Austria in 1993. The formal topic of the seminar was the first region of the soul (called mooladhara 1st chakra in the Hindu tradition) ... that primordial force, that primary building power which rests at the base of the spine in each individual. Anne is inspired to deepen her studies, to try to bring some of the insights received into her yoga classes here in Toronto.

Here is an essay by Anne. It first asks the question "Who is a spiritual person?", and then goes on to talk about the meaning of Bhakti (devotional) yoga. Feel free to make comments and share if you decide to read it:

Here is a radio interview with Anne which was broadcast last week on Drishti Point Yoga Radio out of Vancouver (Co-op Radio station 100.5fm). The interview topics reveal how Yoga from the Heart Canada differs from other types of yoga, and include free-flow breathing, ordering of the soul powers (of thinking, feeling, and willing), and inspired pictorial spiritual “imaginations” relating to the classical poses of yoga.
Please enjoy listening to the entire 37 minute interview, or if you have less time, try randomly clicking in the middle of the interview to find some of the deeper level discussions. Comments /feedback are welcome and appreciated.
