Vegan for a Month Challenge Are you interested in… Shifting towards more plant-based foods? Then join our group in the 2012 vegan challenge! One full month of a shift into a completely plant-based diet that will change your perspectives about food and yourself! More and more, plant-based diets are being credited with the ability to improve health and radically impact lives, but many of us don’t know where to begin. This challenge group will provide you the support, answers, and information that you need in order to commit to this month-long transition. There are no expectations, goals, or requirements other than those that you set for yourself and absolutely no judgments! We’ll all be here to support you along your personal path. If you are already vegan, but looking for a group to aid in a shift towards a less-processed diet, this is also the group for you! Your guide and mentor during this month-long excursion into the wonderful world of plant-based eating is Nicole Sopko, a vegan of 16-years and a plant-based lifestyle proponent who is fully enthusiastic about all things vegan! She’ll share her knowledge, experiences, and expertise with you and may bring in some helpful guest assistance along the way. In Person: In person challenge meet-ups will be held in two locations: Natural Pet Market in Wheaton, IL and Yoga Trek in Oak Park, IL. Natural Pet Market Schedule Yoga Trek Schedule Remotely: You can also participate remotely wherever you are in the world! You will have access to our group Facebook forum, be able to have your questions answered, and receive weekly emails with tips, suggestions, and support. We’d love to have you join us and to make our intention worldwide! All interested participants should sign up for the challenge-related emails and join in our Facebook discussion (you don't need to have a Facebook account to read the updates posted here, but you will need one to join in the discussion)!
Valentine's Day(ish!) Partner Yoga Spend some time enjoying a little playfulness and human connection at our partner yoga class designed for all-levels. Familiar yoga poses (and maybe a few that are new to you!), massage, and meditation will be adapted to be practiced as a pair. Bring a friend, family member, or anyone you'd like - regardless of whether they've practiced yoga before. This class will be structured so that participants of all levels will feel comfortable.
Indian Yoga Adventure Please join us on an 8-day (plus travel days) journey to northern India and the location of Sri Krishna's childhood in Vrindavan. Daily activities will include hatha yoga practice (with Nicole), volunteering time at Care for Cows sanctuary, and instruction in the Srimad Bhagavatam by Jiva Institute founder Dr. Satya Narayana Dasa Babaji. More info here!
Texas Yoga and Vegan Cooking Retreat Join us for a weekend of yoga and vegan cooking with The Blissful Chef, Christy Morgan, and Yoga Teacher Nicole Sopko! Over the course of the weekend you will be introduced to or furthered in your practice of hatha yoga techniques with Nicole while being nourished by delicious vegan meals prepared on site by Christy. Opportunities are available for participants to learn more about the connection between yoga and veganism, to further their knowledge of yogic practices, to ask questions about vegan cooking and nutrition, and to spend quality time with a like-minded group of attendees. You do not need to have experience with hatha yoga OR be vegan to participate in this gathering, but bring an open mind and a willingness to learn more about these two related topics!
