Marianne Wells to Host Jimmy’s Way Benefit and Fundraiser in St. Paul 6/23

Monday, June 4th, 2012

As she continues to augment her son’s tremendous legacy through Jimmy’s Way, Marianne Wells is preparing for what is sure to be an engaging fundraiser in less than two weeks, with 100% of proceeds to be donated to the organization.

Jimmy’s Way was created by friends and family of James Dean Wells, also known as “Jimmy” (4/23/83-11/23/11).  After Jimmy took his own life shortly before Thanksgiving in 2011, the non-profit was set-up in honor of, and to help people like, her son.

“I’m going to bring awareness and education to suicide prevention through yoga events,” Marianne told us.  ”As far as support goes, it seems to be few and far between.  Once I counted 30 events in one month for my entire state.  No one can heal that way, with limited resources.”

On June 23rd the community will come together in celebration of Jimmy at several locations throughout St. Paul, Minnesota.

The fundraiser will kick off with a donation-based yoga class offered by Marianne, representing the Marianne Wells Yoga Alliance School, hosted by sponsor RiverGarden Yoga Center.  Located on West 7th Street, the class will commence at 6 pM.  Eggs will be in full force with a bounty of the recently released Marianne Wells Yoga School Egg; Marianne recently partnered with Three Minute Egg® to create the Hard-Boiled Good Karma Egg, featuring the name of her yoga school on one side.   All proceeds will be donated to Jimmy’s Way.  Participants are asked to arrive 15 minutes early, and the minimum donation rests at $10.

After the community yoga class the celebration continues at Shamrock’s The Irish Nook(more…)

Three Minute Egg® Now Available at Roots Canada Store Locations

Monday, May 28th, 2012

From the 3ME Canada blog:

Three Minute Egg® recently hit the shelves at Roots, Canada’s iconic clothing and lifestyle retail store.

Founded in 1973 by Don Green and Michael Budman, Roots began with a tiny retail location at 1052 Yonge Street in Toronto.  Since then the company has grown into a leading lifestyle brand known around the world for its quality active athletic wear, yoga apparel, accessories, and more.

Today, Roots has over 120 stores throughout North America, as well as an eco-friendly Yoga Studio in Toronto.  While the brand has become a household name, what many don’t realize is that Yoga has been a part of the Roots lifestyle for many years, even before yoga launched into the mainstream. 

Roots co-founder Don Green and his wife Denyse Green have shared a passion for yoga since (more…)

Yoga with Janet Stone iPhone App Debuts at #2 in iTunes

Monday, April 30th, 2012

After only a single day’s passing Janet Stone’s iPhone app, Yoga with Janet Stone, debuted at #2 in the iTunes store.  The app can be found in the Health & Beauty category, as well as currently in the New & Noteworthy category due to its overnight success.  Having partnered with company lolofit, the app guides you through Janet’s “vigorous-yet-sumptuous approach to Vinyasa” in a “dynamic form of yoga flows from one posture to the next in rhythm with your breath.”

As an advocate of the Eggs, Janet has incorporated our ergonomic yoga blocks into several of her sequences in the app.  Through Radiant Mom Yoga Janet has adopted the Eggs as an integral prop in her practice and teaching.

With over 100 flows arranged into 6 practices that change daily or 4 that progress in difficulty, yogis will find many options from beginner to advanced levels.  The app includes over 5 hours of Janet’s audio instruction along with over 3 and a half hours of video tutorials.  If you choose to design your own sequence, users may do so with the included Practice Builder.

Of the many perks of the app one that is most notable is the option to track your practice, as well as share with your friends.  With several hours of yoga music, meditation sessions, and the Eggs by your side, you’re in for quite the complete at-home yoga practice.  If you can’t keep up with Janet on the road, then this is the perfect alternative!

Join 3ME Canada in Support of Yoga Outreach & their Fundraising Retreat

Monday, April 30th, 2012

“True evolution in yoga occurs naturally and rather subtly. It is more an art of living and, above all, an art of feeling.”  ~SriVenu

Join Yoga Outreach for their 14th annual retreat from May 25 – 27th, and support access to yoga for all. Yoga Outreach is a Vancouver based registered charity, working with yoga instructors, community organizations, social service agencies, and correctional facilities to support mindfulness-based yoga programming for those with limited access. Beginning in 1996 with a group of Canadian yoga teachers working together to bring yoga into British Columbia’s correctional system, they have since expanded their focus, promoting healing and transformation by bringing yoga to many other populations who would not have access otherwise. Volunteers now teach over 30 classes per week in settings ranging from health care to transition houses, shelters to treatment and recovery centers.

Sponsored by Telus and Halfmoon Yoga Products, the rEvolution Retreat features classes with 14 talented and inspiring teachers from around BC, including our friends Danielle Hoogenboom, Sri Venu, and Leila Stuart. Join this transformational experience and help to raise funding and awareness to unite communities and support those in need.

The weekend long retreat takes place in the peaceful wooded setting surrounding the Cheakamus River, only 45 minutes from Horeshoe Bay, but light-years from the city. In addition to diverse classes, evening events, gourmet meals, and cozy cabin accommodations, there will be a Raffle and Silent Auction to conclude the event. Along with donations from Chopra YogaYYoga, and Prana Yoga - to name a few - Three Minute Egg@ Canada has donated a Namast-Egg Starter Kit to be auctioned off to the highest bidder in support of this admirable cause. All proceeds go to Yoga Outreach, helping to share the life affirming gift of yoga with adults and youth facing challenges in their lives.

Here’s what some past participants have to say about the retreat!

“Thank you – a truly great weekend!”

“Amazing as usual!”

“A million thanks!!! I will be back next year!!!”

“I can’t wait for next year’s retreat!!”

“Thank you for a rewarding experience. The food was terrific. The presenters are very knowledgeable and inspiring. See you next year!”

Hatching a Canadian Egg

Friday, March 16th, 2012

It was at the Toronto Yoga Conference and Show where I first had the pleasure of meeting Jason Scholder.  After attending Jason’s Three Minute Egg presentation in the Yoga Garden, I immediately fell in love with the Eggs!  This experience forever changed the way I thought about yoga props.

Before I was introduced to the Three Minute Egg®, I was only familiar with square props–the traditional yoga block as they’re commonly referred to.  As an experienced sales associate working for my father at JadeYoga Canada, I was familiar with the benefits of using blocks as they can offer the support and height needed to practice a pose safely, comfortably, and with beautiful alignment. Nevertheless, it’s not uncommon to hear that blocks end up being caste aside because “they just don’t feel good.”

After attending Jason’s demonstration, I knew that the Three Minute Egg was an incredibly innovative and original product. Entering the inviting 3ME booth to purchase my first set, I was immediately impressed with the overall presentation–friendly and knowledgeable staff, an outstanding selection of colours, as well as show discounts and a free instructional DVD!  When the catchy slogan “Because your Body’s Not Square” caught my attention, it all made perfect sense.  Since our body’s are curved, using a hard and rigid square shape is naturally going to feel uncomfortable and awkward to work with.  The yoga block needed to evolve, and because of Jason’s vision we now have the latest innovation–the Three Minute Egg®.

Asheville Event Aims to Raise Fitness Awareness and Funds for Paralyzed Athelete

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Five-time amateur bodybuilder, Shannon Chisholm, is getting ready to take on her sixth event and her first as a paraplegic.

When biking home on Hendersonville Road last summer, Shannon was struck by a car and left paralyzed.  Also a mother of two, she came home from the hospital having been told she would be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.  In a recent article Shannon told the Asheville Citizen-Times that she remembered little of the actual accident and mainly “[waking] up in the hospital two days later [and] I realized I couldn’t move my legs…I realized at that time what challenges I would face, not only physical, but emotional and psychological.”

Regardless, Shannon remains fearless in the face of challenge, with an attitude that continues only to look forward as she prepares to continue bodybuilding as a paraplegic.  This weekend alongside friends Shannon has organized the Chisholm Champion Challenge, a multi-day fitness event on January 27 and 28 at eight different fitness venues around Asheville.  “We decided to get the word out that no matter what challenges you face in life, that it’s important to live well and live a healthy life and take care of yourself and never give up,” Chisholm said.  The event aims to help Shannon with her high medical bills as a result of the accident, as well as to raise awareness about fitness and to help Asheville residents in their pursuit of health and wellness.

With the purchase of a $10 wristband adorned with the words “Never Give Up,” participants can partake in a variety of fitness events at well-known fitness venues (more…)
