🌿 Sangha Gathering: Dharma, Prāṇāyāma & Meditation 🌿
Dec 7th 2-4pm
Join us for an afternoon of shared practice and reflection—a space to gather in sangha, deepen your spiritual roots, and support one another on the path. Together, we’ll explore dharma, prāṇāyāma, and meditation as tools for clarity, purification, and awakening.
✨ What to expect:
Prāṇāyāma to cleanse and balance the mind, releasing tamasic energy and preparing for stillness
Meditation to access the witness within, cultivating spacious awareness and loosening attachment
Dharma teachings: This month Dani will guide us through the Yamas
Inversions practice: Explore classical and/or therapeutic inversions, including headstand and shoulderstand, suitable for all levels
This gathering is both a space of learning and belonging—an opportunity to connect, share, and support each other in ongoing practice.

🌿 YOGA Initiative: 3-Hour Intro Training/ Community Connection Hosted by Dani Hébert
Owner and Director of One Yoga Vancouver | Founder of The Embodied Path & The YOGA Initiative
Saturday, December 6th | 2:00–5:00 PM | One Yoga Vancouver | Online Option Available
Pay-What-You-Can / By Donation.
A foundational training in community-based and therapeutic approaches to yoga.
This 3-hour introductory training welcomes both yoga teachers and anyone interested in bringing yoga into communities or supporting this growing social movement.
For teachers, this is an opportunity to expand your understanding of yoga beyond the studio—exploring community service, yoga for specific populations, and a more therapeutic, inclusive approach to practice and teaching. This training is designed to empower teachers to meet the unique needs of those they are serving, while maintaining a strong foundation in classical yoga principles. It is the first of many trainings that will deepen into specific areas of need. Together, we’ll identify the communities and populations you feel called to serve and develop more specialized trainings over time to support your growth.
For those who are not yet teachers, this is a welcoming space to learn more about the work of the YOGA Initiative, connect with like-minded people, and explore meaningful ways to contribute. You’ll also learn about upcoming opportunities to train as teaching assistants, and—if you feel called—to eventually train to become a community yoga teacher yourself.
Together we’ll explore:
Definining Your Ideal Community — Identify the groups or settings that most call to you and where yoga can have meaningful impact, including shelters, youth centres, hospitals, prisons, and other community spaces.
Connecting with Organizations — Learn how to approach, communicate with, and build lasting relationships with community partners (including sample outreach templates).
Creating Your Support Pod — Explore how to form small collaborative teams—teachers, assistants, and support volunteers—to share the work sustainably.
Designing Meaningful Classes — Reflect on the specific needs of your chosen community, explore ways yoga can serve them best, and learn to adapt practices accordingly.
Showing Up with Presence & Care — Develop skills to manage expectations, maintain healthy boundaries, and embody the spirit of ahimsa and seva.
Ongoing Mentorship and Support — Receive continued guidance, coaching, and a community of peers to help you take the next step in sharing yoga beyond the studio.
✨ This is also a beautiful way to connect with the YOGA Initiative and One Yoga Vancouver communities—coming together in the spirit of compassion, inclusion, and shared purpose.
Rooted in the guiding principle of Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu —
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may our thoughts, words, and actions contribute to that freedom and happiness for all.
All are welcome—join us in person or online to learn, connect, and be part of a growing movement to make yoga more accessible and equitable for all.
