The Musqueam people have lived in our present location for thousands of years. Our traditional territory once occupied much of what is now Vancouver and surrounding areas. The name Musqueam relates back to the flowering plant, məθkʷəy,̓ which grows in the Fraser River estuary. There is a story that has been passed on from generation to generation that explains how we became known as the xʷməθkʷəyə̓ m (Musqueam) – People of the məθkʷəy ̓ plant. Although a metropolitan city has developed in the heart of Musqueam territory, our community maintains strong cultural and traditional beliefs. Today our population flourishes and we are a strong community of over 1,300 members. To learn more about Musqueam, please visit www.musqueam.bc.ca.

WEDNESDAY'S 5:30 TO 7PM CLASS; 7 TO 7:30PM SNACKS & CHATS. COMMUNITY CENTRE YOGA ROOM. ALL LEVELS AND PEOPLE WELCOME! SEE YOU TONIGHT!! QUESTIONS? NEXT CLASS: JULY 17TH [email protected]
CELL: 604.671.1258 Benefits of Arkaya Yoga:
1. Realigns body, emotions and mind to the cosmic truths 2. Arkaya looks at the full spectrum of flexibility and strength of body and mind, creating new neural pathways, opening one’s mind to broader perspectives and new perceptions 3. Enables one to channelize and see the wisdom in emotions 4. Deepens one’s relationship and commitment for evolution and harmony 5. Rebalances the nervous system and helps with somato emotional release. Many illnesses as we know are psycho somatic (Soma =body; Psyche = mindset) 6. The healing tools in yoga enable one to enable pranic (energy) flow in areas that are blocked 7. The self-awareness and witnessing oneself without condemning, justifying or identifying help with seeing and shifting old behavioural and thinking patterns. 8. Clears addictions and unhealthy attachments 9. Increases breath capacity and focus 10. Helps with depression and suppressed emotions 11. Helps build a solid foundation of self-sufficiency as well as community 12. Helps one serve the divine through supporting humanity and all living beings 13. Enables one to tap into cosmic wisdom as well as collective consciousness for wisdom downloads and solutions 14. Enables one to live well as well as die well. Death also becomes a means of renewal and regeneration 15. This is a neuro postural, and neuro energetic reprogramming. It creates somato-emotional release and somato-psychic shifts
And many, many more such benefits when yoga is taught in its depth as with Arkaya (light, healing, inspiration) Yoga Hank & Johnnie Show Henry, Musqueam golf course superintendent and his brother visiting from Burns Lake are providing a free performance for all ages
