Yoga should be a viable alternative to traditional high school gym class

Written on October 6, 2020. Posted in Editorials.

High school relies too heavily on traditional models of exercise—but just because something is traditional doesn’t mean it’s beneficial to everyone. Yoga has proved itself to be a worthwhile skill to cultivate, as it promotes fitness alongside mindfulness. Because of this, we need to introduce it...

The benefits of yoga in student life

Written on October 18, 2019. Posted in Lifestyle, Student Life.

I still remember how relaxed and calm I felt after my first yoga class in high school. I started bringing the techniques I learned in the classes back to my friends at school. Together, we would lay in the middle of the hallway during our free period. I clumsily guided us through a meditation that...

Yoga with cats

Written on September 12, 2017. Posted in Lifestyle.

Yoga is one of the few physical activities I really enjoy doing, probably because no one is yelling at me to kick or throw a ball with any degree of accuracy. It’s all about your individual pace and improvement. Even though there’s always someone showing off their perfect headstand or inhuman flexibility,...

Practising mindfulness isn’t for the restless

Written on September 27, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

I wish I was one of those people who could be mindful and do Yoga nidra without needing to move or wonder who’s texting me, but sadly, I’m a restless soul. Very rarely do we get a chance to lie down and do absolutely nothing. The opportunities to practice mindfulness are far and few between, so when...

Falling head over heels for anti-gravity yoga

Written on January 8, 2016. Posted in Lifestyle.

I never truly experienced yoga until I tried it upside down. Initially, I imagined yoga as someone sitting on the floor in a cross-legged position, deeply om-ing while their face rests in an expression of complete inner peace and tranquility. Never did I imagine someone yelping and hanging in mid-air...

Written on March 6, 2015. Posted in Lifestyle.

If you’ve been waiting for the chance to balance on your hands in a boiling hot room, you’re in luck.

It’s located on lower Princess St. Moksha (pronounced moke-sha) refers to both a series of postures...

Whether you worked out all summer to stay in beach bod shape or took some time off to deal with the summer job grind, back to school time means back to your Kingston fitness routine. Some of you may already be mentally grumbling about the huge line-ups for the machines at the ARC. Don’t get me wrong,...

The naked truth

Written on March 7, 2014. Posted in Lifestyle.

The lights were dimmed and heavy curtains were drawn over the windows of the studio — I was about to step naked into a room full of strangers. Nude yoga is not for the faint of heart. Studio 330 on Princess St. hosts a nude yoga session on the first Friday of every month. At first it seemed like a...

The practice goes beyond the physical by literally stripping everything away. Dallas Delahunt, owner of Studio 330 on Princess St., started Kingston’s first naked yoga class last month.
