You’ve got the yoga pants, the yoga mat, the water bottle and you’re teeming with inspiration and drive. This time, yes, this time, you’re going to stick with the program.
Kula Yoga in the Annex will make it easy.
They’re situated right above Futures Bakery on Bloor and Brunswick. Don’t get distracted by the heavenly scent of baking bread – consider it motivation.
Need variety to keep you going? Kula Yoga’s introductory special of 30 days for $30 is just the ticket for you. All of it in a studio with natural light, cork floors and radiant heat - you’ll be hooked in no time.
Sample the Hot Yoga - melt your body so it can develop long, lean muscles and a strong, straight spine. While you’re in the spirit of trying new stuff, rejoice in Reiki Restorative. Feel your stress vanish and your energy levels replenish.
Annex studio directors Colin Matthews and Christi-An Slomka remain true to the meaning of ‘Kula.’ It’s a Sanskrit word that implies ‘family’ or ‘community’ and this philosophy is at the root of all their programs.
Take, for example, Karma Yoga where, once a week, students can enjoy a yoga class for a $5 donation. These donations are then passed on to a community non-profit. The benefits are two-fold: access for cash-strapped students and money for a local charitable cause.
Before you know it, those yoga accoutrements will no longer inhabit your closet – they’ll be your uniform.
