You're invited to NOURISH: A Holy Yoga + Zero-Waste Brunch taking place on Saturday, June 8th at St.Vital Park from 9am-11am.

NOURISH seeks to nourish your mind, body and spirit through an outdoor all-levels holy yoga class followed by a vegan, gluten-free zero-waste brunch. Each portion of the event is intentionally curated with the theme NOURISH to nurture a deeper connection to self, nature, community and your faith.

Colossians 2:7
"Let your roots grow down deeply in Him, and let Him build you up on a firm foundation. Be strong in the faith, just as you were taught and always spill over with thankfulness"

As we grow in our faith, we realize more and more that as we overflow with thankfulness, we naturally gravitate towards intentionally being good stewards of the life we've been given. Becoming a good steward involves taking responsibility and caring for yourself, your relationships, the Earth and trying to become a force of positive change in every place you find yourself. We may not do this perfectly, we may be figuring it out as we go, but we know with a firm foundation of Truth, we can consciously NOURISH ourselves, our community, and the place we live.

About the Yoga:
With our scripture as our focus, we will flow to worship music and take opportunities to step off of our mats and feel our feet firmly planted on the ground. The all-levels yoga class will begin with a focus on the nourishment of breath work, moving into a slow flow which will allow you to explore the postures with a mindset of finding nourishment for your body as we move. At the end of class, you will be adorned with essential oils.

About the Brunch:
A menu hand-selected by Kayla of her favourite foods, the vegan, gluten-free brunch will be nourishing and delicious. The entire brunch is zero-waste and will be enjoyed outdoors on vintage tea-sets as you connect with your new community. Kayla will share from her story and passion for nourishing mind, body and spirit with the support of food and striving for zero-waste living, especially in the kitchen.
