Itinerary For Sat Oct 26:
3:30-4:00 pm Arrival:
On the afternoon of Sat Oct 26, arrive at the bright, zen, newly-renovated space at 1805 Gaspe. Unroll your mat, and settle in for refreshing yoga beside more lovely humans.
4:00-5:00 pm Yoga Part:
Revitalize with this uplifting class to flush circulation and cleanse toxins. We’ll mindfully build strength, regain mobility, tone our core, and stretch out sticky spots. I’ll offer modifications to safely suit your own joints & injuries.
Everyone is welcome. You belong in this all-levels, all-bodies asana class.
5:00-6:00 pm Yummy Part:
Elevate your experience with scrumptious provisions. This delicious, plant-based, gluten-free dinner will be catered in such a way as to be waste-free—meaning there won’t be any garbage created.
Amy Longard studied at the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC, and then the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition to become a registered holistic nutritionist and to gain a more sophisticated understanding of exactly how plants impact our health. She’ll prepare a light & yummy meal that still saves some space for the wine.
Afterwards, it’s only a 3-min walk to the scenic Ottawa River Pathway that winds along the river, where you can stroll & daydream. Or choose to chat & laugh with others on the walk. Or even stay indoors to read, write, sketch, or nap. Stretch out on your mat and soak up the self-care.
6:00-7:00 pm Wine Part:
Our tastebuds lend themselves well to mindfulness. As you sip and savour different “low intervention” wines (the opposite of industrial wines), you’ll learn why all low-intervention wines are organic, but not all organic wines are low-intervention.
Passionate wine enthusiasts, Ashley & Erin, from Talk Natty To Me, 5:00-6:00 pm Yummy Part:

The Wine Part:
6:00-7:00 pm Wine Part:
Our tastebuds lend themselves well to mindfulness. As you sip and savour different “low intervention” wines (the opposite of industrial wines), you’ll learn why all low-intervention wines are organic, but not all organic wines are low-intervention.
Passionate wine enthusiasts, Ashley & Erin, from Talk Natty To Me, will guide us through the tasting of a few “low-intervention” wines, and teach us about the simplicity & sustainability of this old-yet-new approach to grape growing & winemaking.
Give your glass a gentle swirl, then appreciate each unique aroma, appearance, body, and flavor. Let your palate guide you.
7:00-7:30 pm Funny Part:
After the food & wine, there’s a lot of giggling. You’re making new friends, you’re feeling connection to a new community, and you’re in a festive mood. Kick back with this warm & welcoming yoga community. We finish with some closing stretches & final meditation. Relax and de-stress.
7:30-8:00 pm Goodbyes
Then we pack up our bags, share some hugs, and float home (taxi, Uber, designated driver).
Spoil yourself and feel connected to community.
xoxo
