We are very excited to announce our $40 introductory month offer to NEW students! Rather than only one week to get acquainted with our studio, all the classes we offer, and the close knit community we've built here at MYNY, new students will have a whole month to reap these benefits.
Join us for an evening of singing with Jess and Deena Robertson and their crew. If you’ve been to one of our Kirtans since opening our doors over 2 years ago, you already know the magic a Kirtan can ignite. If you have yet to experience it, don’t miss this special opportunity to connect with our community through music- sing along, or just listen. Either way, you are sure to leave feeling inspired and alive!
Cost: $18
Time: doors open at 7:30pm, Kirtan to begin at 8pm

Over the course of these clinics, Michelle Corbeil will help you explore postures in the Moksha series in depth and detail. Specific questions or struggles with postures will be addressed, and worked through in an interactive and workshop style. Whether a beginner or a seasoned practitioner these workshops will invite more understanding and awareness, inevitably moving you forward in your practice. The workshops will be divided into two afternoons- one focusing on the standing series and one on the floor series.
Posture Clinic 1: Standing Series: 1:30 to 3:30pm on Tuesday, March 23.
Posture Clinic 2: Floor Series: 1:30-3:30pm on Thursday, March 25.
Cost: $30 for one posture clinic, or $50 for both. Please pre-register at reception!

Beginners Workshop:
Since feedback has been so great for our Beginners Workshop class, we’ve decided to make it a regular 1:30-2:30pm class on Saturdays! This class is great for newbies, but also an awesome opportunity for more experienced students to brush up on technique and the foundations of your yoga practice. No pre-registration necessary.
New Moksha Class:
We’ve also added 1:30-2:30pm Moksha classes on Sundays!
New Classes
After much thought and consideration, we have decided to take the Ashtanga Yoga classes off our schedule. The simplest and best way to explain this decision is that it is what serves the needs of you, our students most. We will all miss Jonny’s classes, and if any of you would like to find out where else he’s teaching in Toronto, please feel free to visit his website www.jonnybelinko.com.
The following classes will fill the old Ashtanga slots:
Tuesdays at 8:15pm: Power Flow (75 min)
Thursdays at 8:15pm: Moksha/Yin Combo (75 min)
For the month of March, this class will be accompanied by the sweet sounds of guitarist, Richard Grossman
Wednesdays at 10am: Moksha (75 min)
Sundays at 8am: Power Flow (75 min)

Thank you all for your generosity over the last couple of months! With your help throughout the month of January, as well as funds raised at MYNY on the Toronto Yoga Community-wide Day for Haiti, we were able to donate $2,118 to the Red Cross Canada Haiti Fund! Our Karma funds raised through the month of February will be donated to the Power of Movement. We truly appreciate your support for these incredibly important causes.
Sometimes in class it can be difficult to pick out all the yoga gems that instructors are providing! These
posture tip videos, taught by Moksha teachers across Canada, allow for a closer look at how to move deeper
in feeling what a postures is all about. This info can then be taken right back into the hot room and infused
with breath for a whole new experience.

One of the central ideas in yoga philosophy is ‘ahimsa’ or ‘non-harming’. In the
Moksha community we work together to practice ahimsa toward the environment. If you’d like to join

an environmental impact in day to day living.
