✨ Youth Self-Defence Opportunity – CAN‑RYU Jiu-Jitsu in North Augusta with Sensei Chris and Senpai Veida ✨

Thanks to the generous funds raised by Debbie Reid, we’re excited to offer three (3) youth, ages 6–15 (as of January 1, 2026), the opportunity to participate in 25 jiu-jitsu classes at the North Augusta Community Hall (8115 Mill St.) plus receive a gi.

CAN‑RYU is a Canadian‑born martial art that builds self‑confidence, discipline, fitness, and practical skills — and is a fantastic way to make new friends! 🥋💪

The intent of this opportunity is to support Augusta Township youth who have a genuine interest in learning self-defence techniques but have been unable to do so due to financial constraints. We rely on the good faith of community members to honour this intent when submitting draw submissions.

👉 How to enter the draw:
Please email laura@auroralifesports.com with:

1. Your name and contact details
2. Your child’s name and age
3. A short note on why your child wants to participate in jiu jitsu

📩 Deadline: December 31st
🎉 Draw date: January 1st
🗓️ Classes begin: January 11th

🔒 Confidentiality note: Applications are private. Names of winners or their families will not be announced publicly.

It was an honour to have Kyoshi Norm Beauchamp out to give Chris his Sensei designation. This recognition is not only about skill and discipline, but about the way Chris has lived his journey — with humility, loyalty, and balance.

Chris' path has always been a family endeavor. I remember when our daughter Veida first stepped onto the mats at just five years old with him. Later, our son joined, and together they grew alongside each other. What has always stood out is that his practice was never pursued in isolation — it was shared, nurtured, and woven into our family life.

Even as he dedicated himself to the art, he ensured that training was always in balance with the priorities of life. Family, community, and integrity were never sacrificed for achievement. This balance reflects the yogic principle of Aparigraha — non-possessiveness — leading not by ego or desire for titles, but by service, generosity, and respect for what truly matters.

As a teacher, he embodies Saucha — clarity and purity of intention. His decisions are guided by quality, not convenience. His loyalty to a small circle of students, peers, and family is unwavering. He leads not by ego, but by example, always thinking of others before himself.

So, last Thursday, as he received the designation of Sensei, we celebrate not only his mastery of technique, but his embodiment of timeless values. He reminds us that true leadership is not about possession or recognition, but about service, loyalty, and balance.

Congratulations Chris!

Here we come December! Aurora members are shifting from November’s reflections into the spirit of generosity and responsibility. This season often brings gatherings, celebrations, and heightened expectations, making it the perfect time to embody asteya—the yogic principle of non-stealing—and the martial value of responsibility.

Both remind us to honour what is freely given—time, space, energy, tradition—and to approach each moment with gratitude rather than grasping. In yoga and jiu-jitsu alike, true abundance is found not in what we take, but in how we give: through presence, respect, and mindful stewardship of our actions. 🌿🥋

💡 This month we’ll also be exploring how AI is impacting our human-to-human connections.

📦 Merchandise Update: For those who placed orders, shipping is happening this week!

🎁 Looking for gifts? We have gift certificates available ($25–$200):

- Dec 18: New Moon & Intention Setting Day 🌙 (bring pens & paper!) — our final evening of the calendar year.
- Jan 13: Classes resume (the hall is being repainted the first week of January).

Let’s close out the year together with gratitude, generosity, and responsibility. 💫

🌟 What a weekend! 🌟

We took a powerhouse crew of students to Capital Conquest and they absolutely shone. From training with incredible instructors across disciplines, to stepping into competition, celebrating together, and soaking in the unforgettable Kobudomaia show — this was a weekend of growth, grit, and pure joy.

So many doors opened for these students, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they showed up. Big things are ahead, and we can’t wait to see where Sensei Chris leads this amazing crew next!

Let’s keep the momentum going 💥👊.

Just a reminder that classes are cancelled tonight in observance of Remembrance Day.

Today we take time to solemnly honour those who have served and/or continue to do so to secure the peace and freedom we enjoy every day 🇨🇦🍁

Please 🙏 take time to reflect today. We will see you in class on Thursday!

🌬️✨ As we move into November, we pause to honour the breath and the truth it reveals.

In September, we explored Ahimsa—non-harming—as a living practice. In October we explored Satya—truthfulness—not just in words, but in presence. We practiced listening inward through both Indriya and Prana Pratyahara, and cultivated peace and clarity through 3-part breath, equal breathing, Ujjayi breathing, and alternate nostril breathing.

In November, we turn toward Saucha—purity and clarity. This month, we’ll explore new breathing techniques that support cleansing, focus, and energetic renewal. Breath becomes a tool not just for calming the mind, but for clearing the path—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Thank you for showing up with heart, and curiosity. Our practice continues—rooted in truth, and held in kindness.

NOVEMBER CALENDAR!

As we step into November, we shift from October’s focus on truth and integrity into the complementary values of saucha (purity) in yoga and modesty in jiu-jitsu. These principles invite us to clear away physical, mental, and energetic clutter, creating space for authenticity, focus, and humble confidence. Purity isn’t about perfection—it’s about honoring ourselves and our practice with care and respect. This theme encourages precision, mindfulness, and a deeper connection to our intentions.

See you soon!

🏁𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞🏁

This summer, Aurora Life Sports Inc. had the privilege of sponsoring the BTB Motocross Club—and what a season it was! From roaring engines to cheering crowds, every event was a celebration of passion, grit, and community spirit.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to the incredible volunteers who made it all happen. You didn’t just build tracks—you built a space where joy, challenge, and camaraderie could thrive.

Spaces like BTB don’t happen by accident. They’re created by people who care deeply, who show up early, stay late, and believe in the power of bringing others together. Sometimes our head is down during race day fixing bike mechanics etc. but we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re proud to stand beside you.

Here’s to a summer well spent—and to the amazing humans who made it unforgettable. 🏆💛

🎉 We're Back in Action This September! 🎉

After a refreshing break in August, we're excited to jump back into our regular rhythm! Starting September 9th, our Tuesday and Thursday classes will be back on the calendar. 🗓️

Our theme this month: Choosing the Path of Kindness
Yoga: Ahimsa (Non-Violence)
Jiu-Jitsu: Respect

As we step into September (our first month in a fresh cycle), we embrace ahimsa, the foundational principle of non-violence, and the profound respect it teaches us for ourselves, others, and the space around us. In both yoga and CAN-RYU jiu-jitsu, respect is crucial to our practice—it’s the way we honour ourselves, our training partners, our teachers, our space around us, and the journey we’re all on together.

Ahimsa reminds us that non-violence is not just the absence of harm, but the consistent active practice of kindness, compassion, and understanding. It’s in the way we treat ourselves with patience when we falter or are faced with fear, communicate and interact with others, and approach challenges on the mat and in life.

In September, we first and foremost deepen our commitment to respect and non-violence. We start the activity year practising moving with intention, speaking with kindness, and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Rooted in respect and the spirit of ahimsa, we build a stronger, more connected community.

Mark your schedules, bring your energy, and let's make this fall season amazing together. We’ve missed you and can’t wait to see everyone again!
