Inspiration

Feeling complete and at peace

30/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Are you ready? 2016 is about to grace us with it's presence. For many people the anticipation of the new year often bubbles up much excitement and for others may cause anxiety. What I have discovered is that the ritual of closing a chapter is fulfilling and leave me feeling peaceful. 

In light of all of us moving into a transition period, I would like to share with you a few things I do at end of each year. If some or all of these ideas resonate with you, I would encourage your to reflect and complete this chapter in your life.
​

First gather these items:
  • paper or journal and pen 
  • a cushion and blanket
  • a candle and lighter

Find a quiet place where you can be alone and uninterrupted.  Pause for a moment then as you light your candle see the candle's flame as representing 2015. Get comfortable on your cushion and wrap a blanket around you. Place your pen and paper on your lap.

Simply write these questions on your paper:
  • What did I learn and what insights did I gather this past year?
  • Where did I let go and how did it make me feel? Is there anything else I wish to release or forgive in order to feel complete? 
  • What are my accomplishments?
  • How did I give to myself?
  • How did I give to others?
  • What are my intentions for 2016?

Gaze softly at the candle, and begin to connect to your breath by breathing more deeply. Once you feel more relaxed allow you eyes to close. Continue to focus on our breath and observe your emotions or any images that arise in your mind.

When you are ready open your eyes and begin to write answer the questions and expressing any other thoughts or memories you wish to include.  

Write, pause, breathe and repeat as much as you desire until you feel complete. Sign your name. Smile softly. Meditate longer if you wish then blow out the candle's flame and let go of 2015 and get ready to step forward into 2016.

Many blessings and well wishes to YOU!

We're inspired by what you do every day. Every time you step on your mat, you're making the world a happier, healthier place, by starting with yourself and we're honoured to serve and help you grow and succeed. 

This past two years, we've invested more in our business and our community than we have in the history of Yogadown. Delivering a new and updated facility with more amenities, increased space, classes, staff and teachers. Our commitment is to continue to improve our services to create a more delightful experience for you.

As a result, we are restructuring our pricing to better align with our services, and ongoing investment to our community. Beginning January 1, 2016, most Yogadown passes and memberships will be increased 5-10%.
Please take note that we have not increased any of our prices in over 5 years. 

Below are a few of our investments in the past two years:

  • NEW AMENITIES In 2014 Yogadown expanded and developed an additional 2400 sqft of space now totalling 4233 sqft and created the convenience of showers, lockers, change rooms, tea lounge, three yoga studios and shopping boutique. 
  • BEST PEOPLE & MORE HOURS We've hired and trained professionals to help take care of you and ensure you have the best experience possible each time you come to class.
  • TOP QUALITY TEACHERS All of our classes are inspiring and taught by knowledgeable instructors that continue their education after initial certification. 
  • YOGA PROPS Each studio is equipped with an abundance of props to provide every student with one of each item. Props have been added, updated and repaired. Did you know..... That you are using $200 worth of merchandise when you use one of each of these items?
  • UPDATED WEBSITE & COMMUNICATIONS Our website is constantly updated and mobile friendly and have established an online partnership with MindBody and HealCode to create a seamless user friendly experience. Your personal online account with us, allows you to make secure payments, register for classes and more. Plus we send you auto emails for receipts and friendly reminders. 


What makes YOGADOWN special?

  • ATMOSPHERE Right when you walk through the doors stress melts away. The calm and tranquil atmosphere welcomes and inspires while supporting you on your journey.  
  • WE GIVE BACK We regularly schedule karma yoga classes and events to support our local and global community such as Okotoks Food Bank, and Yoga Gives Back, the Rowan House women's shelter and others.
  • TOWELETTES At the end of every class you will receive a chilled towel that is scented with real lemongrass oil. Freshen up before you go! Made with LOVE!
  • COMPLEMENTARY TEA Enjoy a hot beverage before or after your class and enjoy getting to know your classmates. 
  • CLEAN AS A WHISTLE We take pride in deep cleaning our studio and ensuring that every need is met and we hope that you are pleased with our beautiful space. 
  • LOCATION!  LOCATION! Enjoy our central location in Down Town Okotoks where you can get to our studio in 5 minutes from anywhere in town limits! 
  • FREE PARKING Oh yes! Need we say more?

Thank you for choosing YOGADOWN as your second home and hub to connect with yourself and your community. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.

With Gratitude,

Jerusha Francisco 
Studio Owner & Director
