Celebrating 17 Years of PranaShanti Yoga Centre

October 7, 2025August 18, 2026 by Devinder Kaur Comment Closed

A Message from Devinder Seventeen years ago, I opened the doors to PranaShanti Yoga Centre with a simple dream — to create a space where people could come together to breathe, heal, learn, and grow. I could never have imagined how this vision would blossom into the incredible community we have today. From those very first classes in 2008 to the thousands who now call PranaShanti home, I am filled with deep gratitude for every teacher, guest teacher, student, and friend who has shared this journey with us. Each of you has added to the light and spirit of this place — and it’s because of you that we continue to thrive. To all of our teachers and guest teachers, thank you for sharing your wisdom, heart, and dedication over the years. You are the soul of PranaShanti — your guidance and presence continue to inspire and uplift our entire community. This October marks 17 wonderful years of yoga, growth, and connection, and we...

Seasonal Self-Management: Using Yin Yoga for Grounding When Life Feels Overwhelming

September 2, 2025September 9, 2025 by Devinder Kaur Comment Closed

By Bren Leclerc | September 2, 2025 Since you’re a sensitive person, you’ve probably felt a shift in your energy when the seasons change. Perhaps during the height of summer you felt motivated, social, and busy, but now that we are transitioning out of summer you feel less social, more scattered, or even anxious. When you’re sensitive and self-aware, you will feel these seasonal shifts more strongly, and when you don’t know how to respond it can leave you feeling overwhelmed instead of grounded. Let’s explore why this happens and what you can do about it. Why Seasonal Shifts Affect You After all the activity of the hottest months, at the end of summer I used to feel scattered and restless. I always tried to push through, thinking it was just stress or circumstance, until I learned to map these patterns into the scope of the entire year and seasonal changes. In Daoist philosophy, this time of year between summer and autumn is called Harvest...

Persistent Pain Program – By Susan Anderson and Maddy Lee

February 1, 2025February 1, 2025 by Devinder Kaur Comment Closed

Just what is persistent pain, exactly? Persistent pain is pain that lasts more than three months. Although its definition seems short and sweet, persistent pain is complex and multi-faceted. It has many potential causes, for example injury, illness, or disease. There are many ways in which it can manifest; it could be in a specific part of the body, the entire body, or it can move around the body. As a result, persistent pain is not necessarily experienced the same way by everyone. Persistent pain can have a broad reaching impact on a person’s life. Not only can there be physical pain that may or may not have a clear or known cause, but the person may also experience changes in their pattern of breathing, the way they move, and the quality of their sleep. Living with persistent pain can impact a person’s mental wellbeing by affecting their self-esteem, thoughts, and ability to regulate their emotions. It can impact personal and...

2025 Numerology by Carol

December 30, 2024December 30, 2024 by Devinder Kaur Comment Closed

2025: A Year of Letting Go and Transformation by Carol Brochu As we step into 2025, take a moment to reflect on how the powerful energy of 2024—a universal 8 year—showed up in your life. The number 8, tied to the Pranic Body, represents breath, vitality, courage, and power. In 2024, many of us felt the dual forces of manifestation and expansion, as well as the challenges of money and power. It was the first step in a 3-year cycle of profound transition and transformation. Now, we transition into the energy of 9—a universal year of completion, compassion, and letting go. The number 9 connects to the Subtle Body, offering us the ability to master the nuances of life, deepen our understanding, and embrace transformation on both personal and global levels. This is a year for clearing out the old—whether it’s outdated systems, clutter in our lives, or limiting beliefs—so that we can make space for something new. 2025: The Big Picture of...
