Are you looking for a way to get involved in your community? We are seeking volunteers to help with the following Spring/Summer programs and events:
To volunteer, contact Wendy at programs@avonmore.org
Tuesday Classes: 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Instructor: Emily McNicoll
These classes are a unique opportunity to experience both the benefits or yoga and of being in a community. The instructors get to know you and your needs then tailor the classes accordingly. You also get to know your classmates. The before class chats are a great way transition from a busy day to the peacefulness of yoga.
Emily McNicoll takes a lighthearted, inclusive approach to teaching Hatha yoga. Her classes offer a wide variety of postures and practices. She's passionate about offering practices that are approachable to all levels of practitioner. In her classes you can expect to explore both strength and flexibility as well as techniques for mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation. Emily has been teaching yoga since 2008 in Edmonton.
Wednesday Classes: 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. & 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. Instructor: Tori Lunden
Tori Lunden delights in teaching people who, like her, never thought yoga was something they could do or enjoy. Her emphasis on positive body awareness and respect for individual needs allow everyone to practice in a way that feels safe, accessible, and beneficial. Tori completed her first yoga teacher training in 2008 through the World Conscious Yoga Family in Rishikesh, India. She has since completed yoga training programs through Yogaworks, Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, Paul Grilley and Leslie Kaminoff.
