Land & Lineage Acknowledgment

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, may we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. May we acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.

 

Finally, may we acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.

​

This sacred gathering place provides us with an opportunity to engage in and demonstrate leadership on reconciliation. Thank you for your existence and acknowledgment of Turtle Island.

“At its route yoga is a practical, structured, scientific framework and embodiment practice that aims at curing our personal and social ills. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, one of the seminal texts of yogic practice alongside the Bhagavad Gita, shares 195 aphorisms that guide us to ways  to practice yoga.

 

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are 196 short aphorisms written by the sage Patanjali between 500 BCE and 400 CE in Indian” - Susanna Barkataki
