Toronto Launch: Yoga for Geeks at Indoor Playground

Have you ever suspected that sitting at your desk all day isn't very good for your body?

Do your shoulders ache, or your hips feel stiff? Is your back ever sore?

Do you have trouble chasing after your kids - or your partner! - when it's time to play, because you're feeling old and stiff?

Do you feel like you spend too much time in your head?


If you can relate to any of the above, then please join us for the Toronto launch of Yoga for Geeks! You'll learn some stretches to address common complaints, and enjoy an opportunity to relax. It's never too late to begin making friends with your hard-working, oft-ignored body.

WHAT: a short "yoga" class, specifically tailored for people (male or female) new to yoga, and/or people who would never in a million years set foot in a regular yoga studio. After class, we'll retire our relaxed selves to a patio nearby for beverages (can't have you getting too healthy all at once!)

WHO: YOU, and all the geeks you know. (invite others, or blog about it!)

HOW MUCH: pay what you can – $10 suggested donation

The Fine Print:

  • please don't eat dinner right before class – though a snack an hour or two before is fine (this won't be strenuous)
  • suggested attire – as long as it's not tight, you're fine. shorts would be good, especially if it's a hot day
  • if there is sufficient interest, i will consider running a regular or semi-regular class

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you there!

From a Geek Capital Yogi in Canada's 'Silicone Valley'

Fabulous, fabulous idea, and I'm so glad you're so close. I thought of the Yoga for Geeks niche many times myself, as I'm surrounded by techies, computer science and math geeks, the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, the Institute for Quantum Computing, and RIM - home of the creators of Blackberry. Perhaps it's time we had Yoga for Geeks pay a visit ...

info

Hey Sarah, I was just checking this out so I could write the info down- and a bunch of it is missing! Do you have an address, a date, a time?

Sounds great

If anyone fancies doing something like this in Brighton, England I'm sure it would be a great success. I'd love to learn how to counteract that hunching feeling :-)
