Yoga in the snow: Snowga session taking place in Lansdowne this Saturday

Here to give us all the details and a sneak peek is Stephen Bierbrier from Happiness Habits 613 and Sara Wick from The Mat Lab.

It’s cold outside and a yoga session called Snowga is taking place in the snow this Saturday in Lansdowne.

The community event is a first in the capital, according to Ottawa Tourism’s website.

“Why not? Movement is good for you?” Sara Wicks from The Mat Lab told CTV Morning Live Wednesday.

Going outside and connecting with the community are good strategies to cope with the capital’s cold weather while taking care of your health, Stephen Bierbrier from Happiness Habits 613 told CTV Morning Live.

“We are cultivating healthy habits throughout the month (February) and we feel this is a great way to do it,” Bierbrier added.

February is also Heart Month, says Bierbrier, noting that the yoga event is a great way to celebrate it.

The family-friendly event is free, though registration on Eventbrite is mandatory.

It is scheduled to take place Saturday at the Great Lawn at Lansdowne Park at 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.

“Whether it snows or shines, dress for outdoor success and get ready for a unique yoga experience,” reads Ottawa Tourism’s website.

Snowga is a partnership between the City of Ottawa, the Heart Institute Foundation, The Mat Lab and Happiness Habits 613.
