Description
Join us for a special partner yoga session designed to support collective healing, resilience, and connection within the Filipino community, in the spirit of bayanihan (togetherness).
Bring a friend, family member, or partner (allies welcome) to explore gentle touch, movement, and mindfulness practices that foster comfort, belonging, and unity. Instructions will be provided in English, with additional Tagalog translations.
What to expect:
- Guided partner-based yoga and mindfulness
- Culturally sensitive, trauma-informed facilitation
- A supportive space for healing and community
- All bodies, ages, abilities, and experience levels welcome
Hosted by Jaden Gornall (C-IAYT yoga therapist & yoga instructor), Raven Gonzales (musician and community advocate), and supported by the Douglas Park Community Centre Association. Maureen Elworthy, a volunteer trauma-informed grief counsellor, will be present to provide emotional support for any immediate needs that arise during the event, and to provide a mental health resource list to assist participants with locating further support if needed.
Only one person needs to register on behalf of both partners (note that maximum capacity of 20 registrants=up to 40 participants, inclusive of partners).
Inaanyayahan ka naming makiisa sa isang espesyal na partner yoga session na nakatuon sa sama-samang paghilom, katatagan, at pagkakaisa sa loob ng komunidad ng mga Pilipino — sa diwa ng bayanihan.
Maaaring sumama ang iyong kaibigan, kapamilya, o kapareha (bukas din ito para sa mga kaalyado) upang maranasan ang banayad na paghawak, maingat na paggalaw, at mga kasanayan sa mindfulness na nagpapalalim ng ginhawa, koneksyon, at pakiramdam ng pag-aari.
Ang mga tagubilin ay ibibigay sa Ingles, na may karagdagang pagsasalin sa Tagalog.
- Kailan: Miyerkules, Mayo 21, 6:30 – 8:00 ng gabi

Inihahatid nina Jaden Gornall (C-IAYT yoga therapist at yoga instructor), Raven Gonzales (musikero at tagapagtaguyod ng komunidad), at sinuportahan ng Douglas Park Community Centre Association. Naroon din si Maureen Elworthy, isang volunteer trauma-informed grief counsellor, upang magbigay ng emosyonal na suporta para sa anumang agarang pangangailangan na maaaring lumitaw habang nagaganap ang event, at upang magbigay ng listahan ng mga mental health resources na makakatulong sa mga kalahok na makahanap ng karagdagang suporta kung kinakailangan.
Tanging isang tao lamang ang kailangang magparehistro para sa parehong magkapareha (pakiusap tandaan na ang maximum na kapasidad ay 20 rehistrado = hanggang 40 na kalahok, kasama na ang kanilang mga kapareha).
