Happy New Year! 🎉✨

We can't wait to share another year of practicing Yoga and meditation, making meaningful connections with our fabulous community, and supporting one another along the way!

If you've ever practiced with us in person or online, the term "namaste" will be familiar to you.

Namaste is a Sanskrit word that means "I bow to you" and is used as a greeting. When we say this to one another, we are saying that we recognize each other for who we really are.

As we reach the end of the year, we want to thank everyone who practiced with us and shared their authentic selves with us this year. We are so grateful for our amazing FMY community, and we can't wait to see you in 2026!

Namaste. 🙏💛

The deadline to drop off items for our holiday donation drive is TODAY!

As always, we've been blown away by the generosity of our amazing FMY community and we're so grateful to everyone for helping us support Yellow Brick House and the important work they do to help women and girls.

Swipe through to view the YBH Holiday Wish List. Please note that while gifts are always appreciated, gift cards make the greatest impact, and give moms and teens the power of choice.

We are also still accepting donations through our online portal (linked below). Any amount you are able to give will be greatly appreciated.

And please know that if you have ever practiced with us, you have helped make a difference, as a portion of our sales throughout the year supports this cause directly. THANK YOU! 🙏💛

Did you know that in Canada, one woman or girl is killed every 48 hours as a result of intimate partner violence, and in Ontario alone, this has resulted in the deaths of 35 women and children from November 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025.

That's far too many lives lost. But together, we can help.

Today, on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we remember and mourn the women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals we have lost to gender-based violence, and we reaffirm our commitment to take action to support survivors.

One way we are doing that is by supporting the vital work of Yellow Brick House. A portion of all sales throughout the year goes directly to this cause, so if you have ever practiced with us, YOU have helped make a difference!

Our 2025 holiday fundraising drive is currently running, and if this speaks to you, we invite you to donate through our online portal (link below), or drop off an item from YBH's Holiday Wish List. (see images for more details)

To everyone who has already donated to this campaign or who has contributed through practicing Yoga and meditation with us, THANK YOU! 🙏💛
