Welcome to our online 
YOGA, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY INFORMATION RESOURCE
serving the MID ISLAND REGION of Vancouver Island

Workshops, Events, Classes and Happenings in Mid - Vancouver Island communities: Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Duncan, Cowichan Valley, Shawnigan Lake, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay, Comox, Tofino.  
For the Health of our Community.

I started this website because I am concerned about the health of the people that I care about in this world. Instead of worrying about you all, I have begun to blog and send out lists of links and resources and events which will enable us all to be healthier.

This is an image by Jonathan Mak showing Steve Jobs' profile as the bite of the Apple Logo and a wonderful tribute. It speaks to me volumes about the alignment of a person who has spent some considerable time on a device, machine or computer in which the user or operator is contorted into a misaligned posture over time. I hope that with the advent of personal phones, computers and other such devices we will learn not to follow the curve suggested by the image of Steve Jobs.

Man, I hate it when I show off my inability to spell. My newsletter program does not catch my spelling mistakes and I send out incorrect words all the time but only because I don't submit every sentence for review. My editor, Anne Correia of West Coast Editing, is wonderful and shares none of the blame! If you have stopped yourself from writing because you can't spell, like me, or perhaps your grammar is not quite perfect then consider an editor...and submit everything before sending it out. My TENDENCY is to be a bit sloppy!

 

Hello Yoginis & Yogis,

Blooming Lotus Yoga Studio is one of the gentlest and most authentically generous yoga trainings on Vancouver Island. The teachers are balanced and well versed in the instruction of the yogic path. Consider what your life will be if you let these two lead you. Come to understand yourself with the support you need to pass on the helpful teachings of yoga.

“This healing center emerged through many ceremonies, sacred practices, and principles of Vastu. There is a beautiful yurt which has been used as a Yoga Studio, large garden for outdoor practice, indoor chemical free swimming pool ready for therapeutic spa and approved by VIHA, potential massage room or sauna,  and pottery studio. All separate from 4-bedroom living space. Recent tragedy in my family takes my attention elsewhere and I hope for the right person to deliver this project into its full potential in the service to our community.
