VANCOUVER TRENDZ [THURSDAY]

Beach Breathing

September 6, 2007

Yoga, the Eastern discipline spanning thousands of years, has seen something of a renaissance in North America over the last few years. But as Vancouver and other urban centres have embraced inner peace, they’ve also seen the price of yoga skyrocket. But Yoga on the Beach aims to change that with free yoga lessons on Saturday September 8th and 15th from 9:00 a.m to 10:15 a.m. at Sunset Beach. The class, taught by Kreg Weiss, welcomes everyone from novices to more advanced students. Just show up with your yoga mat, snacks and water for after practice, and a couple of layers of clothing in case the weather isn’t as peaceful as your spirit. The classes are free, but donations are accepted and will go to Doctors Without Borders.

Where: West End, 1400 block, beach area near Nicola St., Yoga on the Beach
When: September 9th & 15th, 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.
