Why a Mountain Goat?

MOUNTAINGOAT YOGA CENTRE
The name Mountaingoat Yoga Centre was chosen to celebrate our respect and appreciation for our Canadian roots, culture and diversity that we so value.  In our native Canadian tradition each animal embodies traits, qualities and energies specific to each individual species.  The Mountain Goat is legendary for its innate sense of balance, surefootedness, persevering nature and dynamic climbing abilities.  These qualties teach us to remain grounded on a solid foundation while developing the confidence and determination to climb to new heights and dreams in our own lives.  The Mountain Goat is focused on moving forward step by step with a confident and persevering attitude.  Their sheer strength and highly flexible skeletal system enables the Mountain Goat to maneuver its large body on and around percarious paths and ledges barely big enough to stand on.  This teaches us the relevance of remaining strong, flexible and faithfull in our own abilities of reaching for our quests and goals.  Mountain Goat energy is one of balance, focus, flexibility, determination, confidence and faith - qualities we seek to develop in our yoga practice!
