The Union is Cabbagetown's community centre for the yogic arts. Here yoga students gain an authentic healing experience by sharing wisdom and practice without the pressures of social barriers and cultural constructs. Yoga is therapeutic, grounding and empowering, regardless of finances, age, heritage, or fitness level! The Union embraces the traditions of yoga and creates social change by offering the opportunity for people from all walks of life to participate in their community's events – whether a yoga class, workshop or art show – as equals because the programming is affordable. Basically, there is a balanced ratio of market-rate to suggested-donation class prices, which encourages people (you) to do more yoga.

Pre + Post Natal Nia: What is it?Sun, 01/20/2008 - 18:18 — MaggieNew to Nia, Miriam introduces a Pre + Post Natal Nia space where movement can be an active part of the wave of physical, neuro-biological, hormonal-chemical, psychological and relational changes taking place during your pre and post birthing months. Why Do Nia? by Miriam SchacterTue, 01/15/2008 - 01:15 — MaggieFor myself, Miriam Schacter, movement provides an intentionally enlivened space for shared emotional and embodied expression. Dance, martial arts, and yoga combined with breath training assists in the maintenance of memory, alertness, judgment, adaptability and emotional/neurological feedback systems throughout a lifetime. It supports the healthy expression of creativity and sexuality second to its emphasis on self-reflection, witnessing and sensual expression.
