"Your classes have been very helpful as I adjust to old age.  I’m counting our sessions as one of the significant pluses in my week."

I humbly and respectfully acknowledge that the land I live and practice on is the unceded territory of the Pentlatch, K'ómoks, and Tla'amin peoples, and that I formerly lived and practiced on the unceded territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən peoples as well. I humbly and respectfully acknowledge the deep traditional and ongoing relationships of these and neighbouring Indigenous peoples to these lands, and the complicated reality of my presence as an uninvited settler. I further humbly and respectfully acknowledge that yoga is an ancient spiritual and wisdom tradition gifted from India and South Asia, and that it is often misappropriated and misrepresented in Western culture. I am committed to ongoing listening, learning, and action in healing the countless harms of colonization, to preserving the intactness and authenticity of yoga to the best of my knowledge, and to participating in healthier relationship with my Indigenous neighbours, with the source cultures from which yoga emerged, with the land, and with all my relations.
