Yoga for Peace: Free and open to the public

17 July 2017 - by YMCA of Greater Toronto
On Saturday, July 22, from 10:30-11:30 a.m., all YMCA Health & Fitness Centre's across the GTA invite you to celebrate peace by participating in a FREE Yoga for Peace class. Come stretch your peaceful muscles – and be sure to bring your family and friends, since this class is FREE and open to the public!

The tradition of yoga reminds us that peace starts with each one of us. We'll be infusing this special Saturday morning class with this important message, as our instructors help you increase your flexibility, release tension, and foster a mind-body connection.

In support of Making Peace Toronto, Yoga for Peace will be hosted at all nine health and fitness centres across the GTA. You don't need a YMCA membership to participate, but please bring your yoga mat and a piece of photo ID so we can sign you in to the building.
