I've been running my On Your Mats, Get Set, VOTE! campaign, inviting every Vancouver municipal candidate to practice yoga at @stretchvancouver.bsky.social Over 1/4 of candidates are on Bluesky. The two on Mastodon look inactive. Hoping that's a trend away from #TechGiants #vanpoli #VanElxn2026

I emailed every mayoral and council candidate in Vancouver's municipal election and invited them to come practice at STRETCH. Nothing performative. Mindful movement before decisions that shape our city. Already got two positive RSVPs from council candidates. The door at 180 E. Pender is open.

Good morning. Today's reflection: "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." — Marcus Aurelius Take a moment to notice the quality of your thoughts as you begin your practice. Are they calm and centered? Let this ancient wisdom guide your journey inward.

I just heard @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social discussing #DigitalSovereignty on #CBC EarlyEd. Plenty of options for Canadians listed at engageq.notion.site/unplug-full Helpful for everyone interested in migrating their data and SaaS service fees away from the USA. #CdnTec #TechPolicy #DataSovereignty

The STRETCH website was hacked! Some Japanese furniture catalogue saw secretly listing there wares to piggyback on our 12yr reputation so Google would think they were 'legit. I rebuilt the entire server from the plane while Agatha watched BackToTheFutureIII

On CBC's Early Edition today, @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social noted FIFA data shows Messi runs less & walks more than any World Cup player, goalies aside. Mindfulness = his edge. Working smarter, not harder — exactly what #yoga teaches. Acro 7pm & Thoughtful Flow 6pm at STRETCH.

Canada Day isn't the Red & White celebration it was when I was a kid—it's a time to reflect on where we are as a nation, and where we want to go. Whenever I have important thinking to do, I prefix it with yoga. Classes from 7am July 1. stretchvancouver.com/schedule

Ran past Hunnybee, then got a text from my cousin Jason — ended up having coffee with him, his partner, and her friend who'd already heard so many wonderful things about STRETCH from her friends. Love these serendipitous moments! 🧘✨

Manjula Selvarajah on CBC this morning: patience and AI. Philosopher Christian Miller argues AI trains us to expect instant answers and erodes patience. Patience is my superpower. It comes up in every Yin class I lead. Five minutes in a twist, and the time is the opportunity. #YinYoga #Vancouver

Last-night bad-guys tried to steal... a 30' gas pipe on the roof at STRETCH! Yes, thieves are so desperate, that they're mangling and twisting steel pipes pressurized with natural gas! I'm grateful that Emmanuelle has a good nose! Fire-department came and made everything safe. Could've been worse

I wasn't on duty yesterday when this happened, but watching our emergency response systems light up and coordinate minutes after this happened was amazing to see. Patients were taken across the city and seen and treated within minutes of arrival. No deaths, thankfully. Bravo!
