Share your story.

Every yogi has a story on how they first connected with yoga and their journey into the practice.

Some experiences are awe-inspiring, others are difficult and painful. Some yogis experience spiritual bliss, while others enjoy it for its physical workout. For some, the yoga practice is a refuge, a safe space in an otherwise out-of-control world. For others, the yoga studio has left them struggling with their sense of belonging.

What was your experience like? We want to share your story.

If you identify as a Black person, Indigenous person or Person of Colour, we'd love to hear about your yoga journey. Whether you live in Ottawa or elsewhere; share your yoga experiences in the form below.
