After the success of our spring mini retreat, we’re excited to bring you another special wellness experience at Social Grounds this fall.

Fall Into Wellness brings together four of our amazing wellness instructors for an afternoon designed to help you slow down, reset and welcome the new season feeling rested and refreshed.

To create a more intimate experience, guests will be divided into two groups and rotate through two unique sessions:

Gentle Yoga + Hands-On Adjustments
Join Amber and Tania for a soothing gentle yoga class with hands-on adjustments to help you settle deeper into each pose and release tension.

Hypnotherapy + Sound Healing
In our wellness studio, Nicole will guide you through a relaxing hypnotherapy session while Rachelle surrounds you with the calming vibrations of her tuning forks, creating a deeply restorative sound healing experience.

After each session, the groups will switch so everyone can enjoy both experiences.

This is more than just a wellness class — it’s an opportunity to experience some of the incredible instructors and offerings at Social Grounds, while giving yourself a little time to pause, breathe and recharge.

Leave feeling more relaxed, restored and ready to take on the season ahead.Join us for Fall Into Wellness at Social Grounds on September 27th. Class can be found on our website www.socialgroundsyyc.ca under workshops & events.

Since our little community tends to get a bit quieter over the August Long Weekend, Social Grounds will be taking a mid-summer break.

Our team has plans with family and friends, and with everyone off enjoying the long weekend, we’ll be closing for a few days as well and will be closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday re-opening on Tuesday, August 4th.

We hope you soak up the sun and find caffeination wherever the road may take you.

What are your plans for the long weekend?
❤️

Looking for a fun, creative way to keep your kids busy this summer?

Join us at Social Grounds for one of our Summer Half-Day Camps for children ages 6–12! Breathe & Bloom will run on July 22nd & August 19th from 1-3:30pm.

Each camp begins with a calming yoga and mindfulness session led by our gentle yoga instructor, Amber Pavey, helping kids move, breathe, and unwind. Then it’s time to get creative with our craft instructor, Sheena, as participants make beautiful pressed flower notebooks and bookmarks to take home.
We’ll take a break to enjoy a snack (included) before finishing the afternoon with everyone’s favourite treat—ice cream!

Our goal is to offer a memorable summer experience filled with movement, creativity, and fun while offering a little break for parents.

We hope you’ll join us this summer at Social Grounds! Sign up online, link in bio.

Mary is truly a ray of sunshine — one of the happiest, most upbeat people we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her warmth is immediate, her energy contagious, and she has a way of making everyone around her feel welcome and connected.

She starts her mornings with full coffee, transitions into tea in the afternoon, and considers the Social Grounds Dirty Chai her ultimate “pivot drink” of choice.

Mary finds joy in life’s simple pleasures: a cat nuzzle, the first sip of coffee, fuzzy socks, and time spent in nature. Outside of work, she can often be found walking the trails in the Weaselhead, or escaping to the mountains whenever she gets the chance for a full day outdoors.

As a child, Mary dreamed of becoming a musician, and that creative spirit still shines through in the way she teaches and brings out her flute at the end of class. She teaches at Social Grounds, Soul Hot Yoga, and Yogadotcalm, and what she loves most about Social Grounds is the sense of connection it creates. She describes it as an intimate space that allows people to truly get to know one another — something reflected in the weekly post-class café visits affectionately known as the “Dirty Chai Yoga Club,” always welcoming new members.

Mary is also a devoted mom to her two adult children and cat mom to Ernie and ChiChi. She is genuine, joyful, community-minded, and someone who leaves people feeling brighter simply by being around her.

Join Mary at Social Grounds for Yoga Flow Wednesdays at 9:30am.

Our Lavender Haze Matcha blends smooth matcha with sweet vanilla and delicate lavender for the perfect balance of earthy and floral flavours. Enjoy it hot for a cozy treat or iced for a refreshing sip on a sunny day.

Finished with a cloud of whipped cream (if you’d like!) and a sprinkle of lavender sprigs, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Available now at Social Grounds. Stop by and see what all the haze is about.
