The holiday season is almost here, with the joy and excitement that it can bring. However, we are living through unprecedented times, and many of us will be loo...king for ways to keep our minds healthy and active during the this time. I have found with my own kids that practicing movement and mindfulness in our daily lives helps improve their moods, increases their coping skills, helps them stay calm, and makes for an easier bedtime all while having fun! My boys and I are creating a free 20-minute kids yoga video to help other kids find calm this holiday season with breathing exercises, meditation, and age-appropriate yoga poses. As with most people, my family has been affected by Cancer, and as a result we know first hand the importance of the work being done at CancerCare Manitoba. My fundraising initiative Healing Minds, Healing Bodies Yoga for the Cure was created to share yoga with our community, while raising funds for the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. In the spirit of the season, I will be including a link to visit my fundraising page and invite those who are able or interested to make a donation to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. You can find more information about this event and others through Healing Minds, Healing Bodies - Yoga For The Cure on Facebook or through my website at https://alisahobbsyoga.com. The video will be available to view from December 18th onwards. Wishing your family, a safe and happy holiday season. With much gratitude, Alisa

Since 2017 when I started Healing Minds, Healing Bodies - Yoga For The Cure our community has come together over the holidays to help raise money for the Cancer...Care Manitoba Foundation. The first event was a Community Yoga class on December 31st on quite possibly the coldest day of the year (-44) and the last two years I have collaborated with Fit Together Pre & Postnatal Fitness for our annual Mom & Baby Yoga for CancerCare. This year although we can’t be together in person, I still wanted to embrace the season of giving though yoga. My boys and I are creating a free kids video for you to enjoy over your holiday break that includes meditation, breathing exercises, and kid friendly yoga poses. This free video will be available the morning of December 18. In addition to sharing this video I will be donating $100 to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. If you are in a position to make a donation this year, any amount helps this important cause!

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season. With much gratitude, Alisa

Giving love does not exhaust love. Giving love increases love. Sometimes we give love cautiously, only wanting to give love if we know we will receive love back, as if we have a limited supply. That is ego. Give love freely and abundantly, there is no limit. The more love you give others, the more self-love you get in return.

Deep gratitude to everyone who has supported me with my fundraising initiative over the last 4 years. If you would like to collaborate to help raise funds for the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation and bring community yoga to your workplace, school, or otherwise, please contact me directly. Thank you CancerCare Manitoba Foundation for all that you do!

Nothing clears your mind and awakens your spirit like getting lost in the forest but what is one of the best tools we already have at our fingertips when we nee...d to find patience in the moment? Our breath! Pranayama (breath control) can help kids find inner strength, peace, and calmness. It teaches them how to focus in nerve-wracking situations and that when you learn your breath is linked to your state, you have it in your power to keep a steady head whenever you need. Join Henry and me for a fun kids pranayama to help make all of your worries disappear! https://alisahobbsyoga.com/blog/f/kids-breathing-exercise
