Discovering Inner Treasures:
Kids' Yoga Picnic Week

Spending time both inside and outside on the lawn at Wavelengths Yoga, children will be encouraged to discover their inner treasures. Using a picnic basket as the focal point for the week, children will choose treasures from the basket and the class will explore its qualities through yoga.

This journey of discovery will be led by Margo Lee, teacher, librarian and yoga instructor. Margo’s imagination and devotion to educating young minds, makes for playful and precise learning. Children will benefit from greater focus, concentration, balance, body-mind awareness and flexibility. Ages 5 - 11.

Women's French River Trip
Hosted by Black Feather Wilderness Adventures

July 12 - 15
French River, Ontario
The Women's French River is an excellent introduction to river canoeing, wilderness camping and whitewater just for women. We'll follow the route of the Voyageurs through easy rapids, camp on great shelves of rock by the river shore, enjoy diving rocks and swimming down swifts in the warm water. The pace is relaxed so we can play in the rapids, swim on hot days whenever we want, take pictures or take a long lunch. The sunsets are stunning. The meals are a treat. There is enough physical activity that you'll sleep well but you'll return from the French River refreshed, renewed and with a sense of accomplishment.
