AWAKENING TO SPRING | RETURN TO LIGHT
SATURDAY March 23rd 5:30-7 p.m
Location: 359 Bank Street Pure Yoga Centretown
The start of Spring is a time for “Spring Cleaning” – the idea of “out with the old, in with the new” with which we are all familiar. Consider how in Winter we are cold, often introspective and huddled up under layers and layers of clothes, and then how Spring is the first opportunity to cast off these layers and lay ourselves open to new possibilities and opportunities.
The return of the light, the warm air and the earth awakening after a long Winter all encourage us to listen to what is yearning to come forth and blossom within us.
The Spring Equinox represents the halfway point between Winter and Summer. Day and night are equal. And Spring officially begins!
Join Andrea Robertson as we welcome the return of the light, warmer air and reawakening of the earth. Detoxify the body and mind through dynamic vinyasa flow that includes cleansing breath work, deep twists, inversions and, of course, some sweat, we will bring balance with yin poses and stillness. Let’s celebrate the light and reawaken with Andrea. Set to music, with a playlist intentionally designed to enhance and deepen the practice. Please bring a journal and pen

Join us in 2019 as we explore the journey of the self and find the place inside where nothing is impossible!
