Winter Yoga Nurtures the Perfection Within

We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves birds and animals and the ants - - -
Winter Classes
We already are whole, complete and perfect.
But we forget.
And then we act out of fear, loneliness, emptiness, anger, or any number of bodily sensations filtered through perception or thought process.
The result can be that our innate goodness is inadvertently disguised, even to ourselves.
This winter focus is on nurturing the perfection within.
We gather as community on Monday evenings and Tuesday noons at Shaganappi Community, Wednesday evenings at Westgate Community, and occasional Monday afternoons at St. Gerard's. There still is room in the Wednesday evening class at Westgate. Please contact me if you are interested!
Winners of Winter Registration Incentives
Recipients of the perfect attendance half-price registration incentive this term are Karen Mott and Leigh Cunes. Congratulations, yoginis, for your dedication to this life-affirming practice.
I, Lonnie, love to practice using Healing Energy and so I decided to draw the names of four early-bird registrants randomly this term to receive complimentary sessions. Phil Michaud, Linda McAtamney, Wendy Burrowes and Gretchen McKay have or will receive a complimentary Reiki, or Healing Energy, treatment of approximately one hour duration.
Early Fall News

It has been a couple of weeks since the last news post, because I was busy returning from SYTAR (where I was entirely BLOWN AWAY by the level of knowledge and phenomenal depth of yoga therapy being practiced in the world) and happily greeting new and returning students to fall classes. Private lessons and therapeutic sessions continue as well. Life is good, and I'm hoping you think so as well!

Also, on a different note, expert and author, Lyle McWilliam, will be in Calgary to promote the latest edition of his book, The Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements on Thursday, October 27th.
Mr. McWilliam is scientist, and also an MLA of British Columbia and former Canadian MP. Through his work on legislative committees, he saw the need for the general population to know what makes a nutritional supplement valuable and how to evaluate the multitude of different brands. I encourage you to put aside that evening to attend. Watch here for more details in the near future!

No need to pre-register. Multi-level, but you should be of average fitness level for a lay person.
Cost is $15.
How to find Shaganappi Community Hall It is located at 2516 14 Ave SW. Sometimes a little hard to locate the first time out, you will find it between Bow Trail and 17th Avenue, on 14th Avenue east of 26th Street (on the south-east corner of this intersection is Alex Ferguson School). Shaganappi Community Hall is a little log building located next to the tennis courts on the east end of a green space that lies along the north side of 14th Avenue. Park on the street and walk down the sidewalk next to the alley to access the front door.

YogInsight Offering You MORE Expertise!
In May I spent ten silent days studying Vipassana meditation with Insight Meditation Society-trained teacher, MaryJo Meadow, and also completed the second professional level of Critical Alignment Therapy training with Gert VanLeeuwen of Amsterdam.
In August I spent five days practicing with and learning from Vipassana meditation teacher Kavindu of Mexico City, and senior Alberta-based international therapeutic hatha yoga teacher David McAmmond.
This week, from August 31 to September 4th, I am traveling down to Monterey, California with friend and colleague, Nancy Hong, for the 2011 Symposium on Yoga Therapy and Research (SYTAR).
While there, we will be practicing with and learning from some of the world's most recognized yoga therapists. I am looking forward to honing my ability to assist people who, amongst other things, suffer with chronic pain, specific types of back and pelvic pain, "cranky" hips, stress, mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, or who are recovering from cardiac events or dealing with eating disorders. I cannot experience all of the many opportunities being offered, but Nancy and I will be sharing and comparing.
I am committed to providing the best possible yoga instruction that speaks to you, my client, as a whole, precious, and sacred person.
