🧘🏻Yoga

We’ll start with a 1 hour yin and yoga nidra yoga class. Yin is a beginner-friendly, calm, and gentle type of yoga. Yoga nidra is a super relaxing type of yogic sleep to help you relax. (see the FAQs below for more info). You'll be taught by 200-hour certified yoga teacher, Mon. She'll explain everything step by step, so you'll be in safe hands.

🧀 Charcuterie board (nom, nom, nom)

For this edition of yoga nom, you'll be feasting on a variety of gourmet nibbles including different cheeses, dips, crackers, cold cuts, and other yummy food. We only source high-quality food for our platters, and they're lovingly put together by Mon.

💬 Guided discussion about ADHD

While you're enjoying the charcuterie board, we'll be connecting as a group in a guided discussion. For this yoga nom, we'll be discussing the theme: rest and recovery. It seems we're all so depleted, and it's only the beginning of the year. Let's discuss how we're all feeling, and share our insights and tips.

Monica will offer talking prompts and help to guide the discussion based on each unique group.

You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. yoga nom is all about creating a safe space for all attendees (our 'nommers').

☕Savour a warm mug of chai

yoga nom is an event that combines yoga, yummy food, friend-making, and giving back. Each yoga nom event brings together a small group of like-minded women to enjoy a few hours together in a safe and welcoming setting. We'll practice yoga, eat yummy treats, and get a chance to get to know our fellow nommers through meaningful conversations.

Info: Arrive at yoga nom venue and settle in. Yes, this means extra time on your mat! It also ensures we can start the event on time. You're welcome to completely chill out by lying down or sitting up in a comfortable seated position, meditate, or do some gentle stretches.

Info: We'll begin yoga nom with a 60-minute yin yoga and yoga nidra practice. Monica will guide you through each posture. Yin yoga is made up of long-held floor-based postures. Yoga nidra is yogic sleep. You'll feel super relaxed and refreshed after the practice.

Info: Start to get to know your fellow yoga nommers! Take a chance and say hi to someone. We'll get to know each other better in the discussion circle, so think of this as a chance to get acquainted. You can talk about anything you like! While you're busy making your new BFF, Monica will be preparing the food and chai for you to enjoy!

Info: This is where we'll all get to know each other and form connections. Our small group will gather in a circle and discuss the topic: ADHD burnout. Monica will guide the discussion based on the dynamics of each group. This is one of the things that make yoga nom so special -- every group is different, and the conversation can freely flow and take shape according to each group's unique character. You're welcome to share as much or as little as you want.

Info: Did we mention all the yummy food you'll have? Yes, maybe just a few times... that's because it's one of the most exciting parts of this yoga nom. There will a variety of cheeses, dips, crackers, and other tasty treats for you to feast on while we have our discussion. Plus you'll get a warm cup of chai to top it off!

Info: If time allows, we'll do an Oracle card pull. The beautiful deck was lovingly made by Monica's stepmum, who is a very talented artist. There's truly something special about this deck!
