Room to Read Benefit Class
with Athanassia Bitzakidis
We
are proud to participate in the global charity yoga event
"Namaste India!" in collaboration with the Room
To Read organization. This event is an opportunity for
the worldwide yoga community to give back to the country that
has given us the incredible system of yoga - teachings that
inspire millions of people on a daily basis. All proceeds
will go to support Room to Read's Girls'
Education Program in India, because we know that when
we educate a girl, we educate the next generation. Educating
girls is the most powerful and effective way to address global
poverty. Room to Read supports girls so that they not only
graduate, but also develop the skills they need to negotiate
key life decisions, by assuring that each girl gets the material
and emotional support she needs to succeed in school and beyond
through an enhanced approach that includes academic support,
mentoring, and life skills training.
Montreal's Chapter of Room to Read, and Zak the Yak the Yogi, are pleased to announce that they will held the first edition of Namaste India – a Room to Read global yoga event happening simultaneously in more than 50 countries around the world. Chapters from Brisbane, Chicago, New York, St.Louis, Perty, Sydney, Westchester, Vancouver, San Francisco, London and Zurich Chapters, to name just a few, will be part of this year event. In Montreal, this yoga event will be a benefit yoga class that will be held in various yoga studios in Montreal on Saturday June 16th (i.e. during the 24 hours between Friday, June 15th and Saturday, June 16th, 2012). This worldwide event will thus start in Australia and end in San Francisco.

Weekend Yoga Retreat at Eastman Spa
July 27-29th, 2012
Treat yourself to our weekend Yoga retreat at the Eastman
Spa and tap into peace and serenity in the beautiful countryside
of the Eastern Townships. Deepen your practice with classes
led by Jivamukti teachers Jennifer Maagendans and Frances
Vicente: one invigorating and inspiring morning class and
a softer evening practice exploring meditation and pranayama.
The rest of the day will be free to explore the pools, hammam,
outdoor baths, 15 km of walking trails, gym, etc… or
treat yourself to any of the myriad of spa treatments, massages,
and other services offered on an à la carte basis.
Located on 315 acres with an incredible view of Mont Orford, the Spa Eastman is a bona fide vacation spa. With its seven pavilions for accommodation, its 15 kilometers of nature hiking trails, its gardens and picture-perfect scenery, you'll feel instantly at home. The local flora and fauna are the perfect environment for the Centre's activities, and the air, water and land come together to create a memorable setting. Enjoy local, organic food made mostly fresh from their garden. Approximately one hour from Montreal, two hours from Quebec City and a few hours from several American states, this is a destination that is certainly worth the trip.
Spa Eastman has won the prestigious Phénix 2008 in the Sustainable Development category. They are also one of the pionneers in the Réser-Vert certification process and were recently given the highest level of performance in Recyc-Québec's "Ici on recycle!" program. These honours reward our actions and our environmental consciousness: but most of all, they celebrate our fundamental values.

Yoga Retreat in Croatia

It's
once again time to take a yoga vacation! Yoga retreats give
us the best opportunity possible to not only explore areas
of the world we've always dreamed of visiting, but to also
incorporate our yoga practice into the experience. Start your
day off with a 90-minute yoga practice led by certified yoga
teacher, mentor and Lululemon Alumni Ambassador Bram Levinson.
Then take the rest of the day to explore the wonders of the
island, go on an excursion exploring the natural wonders of
Croatia, or simply take an advantage of the hotel's beach-front
location.
With the one daily yoga practice, participants are encouraged to spend their days treating themselves to this hidden wonderland. Boasting the most beautiful beaches in the world, and situated in the vicinity of the romantic city of Dubrovnik, Mljet Island is covered with lush vegetation, nursing the most valuable gifts of Mother Nature. This remote location attracts tourists, fans of nature holiday and wanderers on the track of legends about Odysseus and St. Paul. The beauty of Croatia awaits us!
