February is a perfect month to reflect on the beauty around us, and the things that we love, to bring us into a space of possibility.  The intertwining of love—passion, even—and possibility. Of course we have Valentine’s Day, and all the love and passion celebrated mid-month. But earlier than that, February 2nd, is celebrated in the Celtic tradition as Imbolc. It’s a holiday marking the arriving whispers of spring, welcoming the as-yet invisible life beginning to push its way through the to surface of the still-frozen earth.

All that effort to push through the cold times, present in each blade of grass and winter tree bud, demonstrates what seems to be a passion for life that is woven into the cells of living things like us.

So it is worthwhile to remember– to remember on purpose—the things that kindle our passion. So what does it? What does this for you?

At Aurora, we love getting to see this unfolding of passion and possibility, for so many people. Sometimes it’s in response to a pose that catches your attention, or an experience that comes during meditation. Sometimes things push to the surface in conversations after class. We love hearing about the things that bring you joy in your practice and in your life, and the possibilities that announce themselves when you pay attention to that joy. And we thank you for sharing it all with us.

Let's keep that Passion and Possibility flowing, Live Everyday Sacred, Namaste.

Local Artist and Instructor, Pegi McGillivray, will be hosting the following 5 sessions to unleash your Passion for Creativity!

A Guided Practice - Paint Sessions

Every Sunday in February from 1 - 4 pm

Each Sunday in February we will explore a different strategy into the subconscious world of imagery while developing understandings in colour theory, composition and technique.

I AM Creative - Smoke Drawing Session

Sunday, March 1st from 1 - 4 pm

Unleash your creative potential by exploring the magic of smoke drawing. Connect with your imaginative intuition and subconscious by playing with the element of fire.

This is perfectly safe and fun!

Open your Heart to Valentines!
During this week of Valentine’s Day, we honour the holiday with a theme brimming full of love. Not necessarily for a girlfriend, boyfriend, or significant other love; Today we are celebrating that full-on unabashed love we all need to give ourselves.
This love shouldn’t just be commemorated on Valentine’s Day, but each and every day of the year. I’m talking about letting go of self-judgment, taking care of yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, and believing in yourself

Our body is made up of the same elements, minerals, and energy that makes up the planet. Wellness is essentially being in tune with nature and aligning ourselves with the inherent wisdom that is within each and every one of us. So this month we'd like to connect with Mother Nature by getting out onto the ice to fish and soak up the suns rays!
We’ll meet at Aurora at 2pm then drive out to Aurora’s nice warm Ice shack to fish. Bait and some gear will be provided but welcome to bring your own. Dress warm. There will be warm food and beverages served.
We’ll even do some Yoga Flow together out on the ice!
