Here’s your fall update from the Goldenhorn Wellness Society yoga program. I’m really looking forward to welcoming everyone back into the space and settling into another season of practice together.

TUESDAYS Goldenhorn School (Gym)
September 15 to December 1 (12 weeks)
$15 per class

All levels welcome, props provided

This year, the later class will have a more yin‑focused flow. We’ll be working with longer holds, exploring fascia, and giving the body time to soften and invite deeper release. It’s a slower, steadier practice that supports grounding, mobility, and nervous‑system regulation.

Everyone is welcome at all classes.

Membership:
The Goldenhorn Wellness Society membership is $25 this year. Purchasing a membership is deeply appreciated, as it helps cover insurance costs for using the facilities and keeps these community classes sustainable.

Payment:
You’re welcome to send an e‑transfer to this email for the weeks you plan to attend, or simply bring cash to class. E‑transfers before class are also totally fine.

Please spread the word . it’s always great to see new faces and familiar ones returning.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Jess

The Ramayana retold by Krishna Dharma
Summers Big book .

I spent the whole summer with this book as my companion , listening to it while driving around the southern lakes for work, windows down, everything green and bright.

The Ramayana is a great ancient epics of India the story of Prince Rama, his wife Sita, the demon king Ravana, and the long, devotion‑filled journey to bring her home. It’s cosmic, detailed, and full of honour, love, loyalty, and dharma.

As someone who practices yoga, it felt like such a natural extension of yoga. So many of the teachings you can find in a yoga practice devotion, steadiness, right action, compassion, humility. It’s like the philosophical roots of yoga wrapped in an adventure. And Hanuman… I absolutely fell in love with him. His devotion, his courage, his sweetness the embodiment of bhakti, and I felt that so deeply.

Listening to it in audio form made the whole thing feel even more immersive. It’s a big story, but every day it felt like a delicious ritual something steady and beautiful to return to. By the time I finished I was sad to let it go .

What an epic tale. It filled my heart all summer, and I’m definitely going to read it again. 10/10 would recommend. Good Vibes .

The second photo is of a beautiful morning meditation spot I had after a camp out with a friend . Dolly my dog snuck into my spot when got up to take a photo.

Fall yoga is just around the corner, and I’m excited to welcome you into a new season of movement and community in the Southern Lakes and Whitehorse. Flow, yin, prenatal, and free Carcross classes all begin in September, with mats and props ready for you at every session. More details on each class will be shared over the next few weeks. Questions are welcome at [email protected]. Looking forward to practicing with familiar faces and meeting new ones this fall. 🧡🕉️

I’m halfway through a few big books right now, so this week I wanted to recommend another podcast instead.

Leadership and Yoga by Shawna Krueger

I’ve been listening to this one regularly, and it’s become a favourite. The off‑beat format feels refreshing, and the host’s calm, steady voice makes every episode easy to settle into. Shawna asks thoughtful, well‑paced questions and brings in a wide range of inspiring guests. Her genuine excitement is contagious she has a ability to make every conversation feel welcoming.

I’m still practicing outside most days. It’s hard not to drift back to the same familiar spots. I have my favourite sheet of ply wood tempting me back to the familiar but I found a sweet little lake lookout the other week that felt like a gift in the heat.

I’m grateful to have found this podcast. It consistently leaves me feeling full, relaxed, and a little more grounded.

One of my recent favourite episodes was her interview with Trevor Taylor.
