Many of these practices - diet, herbs, lifestyle, environment, daily health and spiritual practices, bodywork - are explored in depth throughout the courses.

Events

Victoria Kirtan Sangha
Come join us for another wonderful evening of chanting for charity, followed by a potluck.
Kirtan is call-and-response chanting that comes from the Yogic tradition. Sangha is a
community of people who support each other in spiritual growth. The experience of voices
and hearts chanting these rhythms and sounds together carries us effortlessly into a place
of quiet and inner stillness. This month we will be led by the melodious voice of Kimberly Loeb.
Kirtan Sangha will come together monthly at changing locations. Yoga Together, The Sanctuary
and Feel Good Yoga are delighted to support this growing circle.
Vegetarian Potluck will follow after.
Please bring food to share. All welcome!

Date: July 17th, Saturday
Time:
5:00pm ~

Testimonial

Thank you so much for such a wonderful workshop experience this weekend. You are a wonderful teacher and make everything very understandable (and fun!). It is so wonderful to have more of an understanding about why certain practices are more calming/cooling or more energizing/heating and the relationship to the chakras and Koshas - all terms that I have heard before in various yoga classes, but have never really understood. I am looking forward to re-reading my notes and your handouts and integrating this knowledge.
I want you to know that I am surprised, very touched and honoured that you would invite to join your program. I had actually looked at your programs a few weeks ago when I first heard about the Sanctuary, and was intrigued. I so enjoyed spending the weekend with you, Taro (his smile just lights up the room) and those lovely, lovely women who I really enjoyed connecting with during lunch the break.
I would like to stay connected with you and the sanctuary, and plan to start coming to your Tuesday yoga class and will be interested in participating in some of the future workshops. I also notice on your website that you do Ayurveda and marmatherapy - which might be something I would like to try.
Thank you for adding me to your email list - I received your email about the Kirtan and hope that I can attend.
With love, respect and gratitude,

Michel


From Erica, a Certified Yoga Instructor who took Yogatherapy at Pacific Rim College

I learned about Nikki’s Yogatherapy course 2 weeks before finishing my 250-hour yoga teacher training this summer. It seemed like a logical progression to take the Yogatherapy course, and the timing was perfect. Our teacher training was done with a series of teachers; most of whom I felt had only a surface knowledge of yoga theory, even those with many years of experience and those who are wonderful, great teachers. The benefit of having one teacher for the whole Yogatherapy course, and a teacher who has such a wide depth and breadth of knowledge as Nikki does, was that she was able to answer all our questions in detail and share many stories of her experiences. The individual teachers of our teacher training were able to take us on the first one or two baby steps of a personal journey, but not to take us any farther, simply because they did not yet have the skills. Nikki, however, had the experience, the knowledge and the skills to take us on many, many steps into deep areas of our individual personal journeys. And she was there for us every step of the journey, always willing to give her time, observation and skills to help us when we felt lost or confused. She usually had the sign post to get us back on track or to lead us to the next step.
Nikki’s dedication to bringing us a course that challenged us and kept us engaged, and her ability to deliver the information in a clear way that she took time to make sure everyone understood, gave us an education with high standards. She also spends time with everyone and makes you feel cared for and protected, like a true spiritual mother. I feel so lucky that I get to spend a full two years with Nikki, both to learn the knowledge she presents in the courses, and simply to be in her presence and to resonate with her energy.
