Today not only marks the beginning of summer but it just so happens to be the inaugural International Yoga Day. The weather was perfect for celebrating the Summer Solstice as many Torontonians gathered at the Distillery District for a full day of free yoga classes organized through omT.O. As a V.I.P. guest, I partook in the first class of the day lead by @Jelayna_in_yoga of Yoga Tree using mats provided by B Yoga. 

This was the first time I had experienced outdoor yoga and I couldn't be more grateful to be able to share in the experience. The sun slowly began to peak through the overcast skies while dozens of birds twittered overhead. A welcome breeze served as a reminder to focus on our yoga breaths as we saluted the sun in unison. 

What a great way to get your yoga on! Namasté!

This weekend, Tonic Magazine invites you to celebrate the summer solstice at Om T.O., a full day of non-stop yoga classes held outdoors in the beautiful Distillery District. Led by dynamic and popular instructors from top yoga studios in Toronto, classes are free and open to yogis from across the GTA. You can choose from eight different 40-minute yoga classes that include hatha, vinyasa, moksha and more. Be sure to bring your yoga mat and your appetite. There will be food and snacks sponsors on site including Live Organic, SoLo Gi, and Lady York.
