Stouffville Yoga: The SIT Perspective

Maintaining an optimum work/life balance is tough. A few SIT employees go to the Lebovic Centre (located in Stouffville) for a combination cardio and weight training workout - but this is a challenge because you need to also fit in a shower and then find time to eat. Not easy. Working closely with SIT, the Lebovic Centre came up with a solution. They found a teacher who could teach a half hour Yoga class at noon, so SIT employees (and anybody else from the town who wants to join) can get a relaxing Yoga workout at lunch.

Yoga is often looked upon as an activity that is primarily for women but more and more men (including a few from SIT) are enjoying it. In the last few years the popularity of Yoga has increased within sports and celebrity circles alike. Dan Marino, Reggie Sanders, Carlos Delgato, Evander Holyfield, Sting, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, are just a few examples of famous practitioners.
