Toronto: International yoga day celebrates the physical and spiritual prowess that yoga can bring into our lives. Dancing Damsels (DDInc.) had a special event to mark this day with outdoor yoga amid nature at the beautiful L’Amoreaux Kidstown Park located at Birchmount and McNicoll.
The session from 8.30 AM to 11.30 AM was open to all seniors and was totally free of charge.
Yoga masters Vimal Gupta and Amita Gupta took the seniors through demonstrations and lessons on Asanas (postures), Pranayama (breath regulation) and healthy food and lifestyle habits. The entire session with plenty of sunshine, a gentle breeze blowing, and birds chirping were enjoyed by the seniors who attended the event. After the yoga session, all the participants relished a very tasty and healthy South Asian breakfast, complete with coffee and tea.
To encourage seniors to incorporate yoga into their daily routine, DD Inc distributed free yoga mats and t- shirts, making it a truly memorable yoga day celebrations for all the participants.
This event was part of the ongoing Health & Wellness series project partly funded by the New Horizon’s Seniors’ Program.
