Our Ethics
At Union Yoga + Wellness, it is our mission to offer yoga that is accessible, to honour and respect diversity, and to foster individual and collective well-being. To support our community, we offer reduced-rate classes many days of the week, as well as scholarships and low-income rates for most trainings, workshops, and events.
Land Acknowledgement
We at Union Yoga respect the autonomy, land-rights, ecological conservatorship, teachings, world-views, traditions, ethics and visionary seven-generations planning of Canada's First Nations Peoples.
We acknowledge that the land we operate Union Yoga + Wellness on today is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
