You are invited to take part in Mindful Yoga Course in James Bay this September/October! The theme is Compassion, which is ancient Buddhist practice of training the mind to be open to suffering.

Mindful Yoga in a small group. Mindful yoga is ideal for those who want to experience yoga as a spiritual practice, not merely as a physical workout.
