Today on February 4th, World Cancer Day aims to prevent millions of deaths each year by raising awareness and education about cancer, and pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action against the disease This year’s campaign for World Cancer Day is closing the gap in cancer care. Did you know half the world’s population lacks access to the full range of essential health services? When it comes to cancer, many people are denied basic care, despite the ...fact that we live in a time of awe-inspiring advancements in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment - barriers at every turn. There is an urgent need for action to raise awareness of the disease and to develop practical strategies to reduce the burden of cancer. World Cancer Day is the perfect opportunity to spread the word and create a global awareness of the disease in international media and global health and development programmes. Today and beyond, we encourage you to support cancer research in any way you can. Donate, volunteer, or take time to learn about how cancer affects populations of the world differently and how we can do our part to develop practical strategies to address the disease #worldcancerday #closethecaregap https://www.worldcancerday.org

Meditation is a practice of quieting your mind and it has exponential power because a quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear Did you know that we now offer meditation classes through our in demand library??? We highly recommend you make this a part of your regular routine because presence is the most powerful tool we can cultivate in times like these. We get that times are tough right now but train yourself to keep calm and focused on what it is. If you can drop th...e ‘too busy’ act you will become bigger than your surroundings and it will empower you to create whatever it is you desire in this life Start your free one week trial by visiting www.online.NavinaYogaAdmin.ca #meditation #mentalhealthawareness #letgoofthestory #liveyourpurpose #youdeserveit by @desire_fitness_

Last week we broke down our Modern Flow, so this week for our new members we thought we’d explain exactly what our Navina Flow is Connecting movement with breath & effort with ease, this class is suited for all levels and suitable for all needs as we simultaneously target strength and flexibility. The movements are delivered slowly to ensure adequate time for our skilled instructors to cue alignment, adjust and offer you time to explore the position. This leaves you with sp...ace to experience what it feels like rather than trying to just go with what the posture looks like. Each class will have a similar feel to it so that you can become familiar with the flow and create a sustainable practice yet the focus of the class is up to the instructor. This freedom creates space for the instructor to co-create with the practitioners in the room and we believe this combination will offer the best experience for you. You can join Jen online for Navina Flow tomorrow evening at 6:30 pm and we highly recommend checking out her classes if you haven’t yet - they’re functional, educational, and empowering leaving you feeling balanced and ready for the weekend ahead. #functionalmovement #alignmentiseverything #itsthenewhustle by @jenheraphotography

Remember to breathe. This is a chapter, not the whole story We can not waste energy on how we think things should be, used to be, or what would be fair. All we can do is breathe with what it is and remember that this is only temporary Easier said then done but know that meditation is the most effective practice to train your mind to be present and cultivate the ability to respond rather than react. This is incredibly important during times like these which is why we have... added weekly mediations to our online studio. We have a new release with Meg today so login, press play and enjoy 20 minutes to yourself. You deserve it! We can not wait until we can meet in the same room together again and until then OM we go........ #presence #justbreathe #meditation #thistooshallpass by @nicoleashley

Meditation is a practice in which we expand the space between our thoughts and in that space can start to appreciate the power and beauty of silence Join Sara tomorrow for a live meditation at 1:00pm and see what space this practice can create for you. #meditation #beautyinstillness #createpeace #mentalhealth

In world where we continuously scroll through others highlight reels it’s almost impossible not to dive into a state of comparison. This is why it’s is so important to stay present and see this for what it is, the highlights Never let it pull you off track and enjoy the inspiration but recognize the filtration because if we don’t it can serve as a major source of unhappiness. If we dive into comparison we immediately drop into a state of being not enough and all too often... we trade our authenticity for approval. Nothing is ever worth that!!! So today’s advice as you scroll, take it all in as a way to inspire who you already are so you can create what sets your soul on Let go of how many likes and pursue what you truly #mentalhealthmatters #justbeyou #pursueyourpurpose #thisisyoga
