The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'.

Yoga practices include the connection between yourself and others, for collective healing and liberation. That means being thoughtful about our impact on others as we move through the world.
At Afterglow we acknowledge and understand that we have appropriated the spiritual practice of yoga by bringing it into and
adapting it to our own context. We would like to recognize the many teachings that form the full lineage of yoga, from its earliest reference in the ancient texts of the Vedas and Upanishads, to its South Asian roots as a physical practice from which modern
postural yoga evolved.
We will strive to do our best to practice Ahimsa in our teachings, and welcome you to share guidance as we learn.
We also want to acknowledge that we are hosted on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg,
the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. We also recognize the enduring presence and important contributions of all the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people, and that we must honour and respect this land as covered by Treaty 13 signed with
the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
