A World Kindness Day Fundraiser | Yoga + Sound + Community Giving
Kindness is more than something we feel. It’s something we practice.
In honour of World Kindness Day, join us for Kindness in Practice, a two-hour evening of yoga, sound and community giving in support of The Uplifting Group, a local organization providing food, clothing, essential supplies and practical support to people experiencing homelessness in the Tri-Cities and surrounding communities.
World Kindness Day, celebrated annually on November 13, is a reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference. This event is an opportunity to bring that intention beyond ourselves and into the community around us.
We’ll begin with a 90-minute all-levels yoga practice led by Alison, creating space to move, breathe and reconnect. From there, we’ll transition into 30 minutes of singing bowls with Annamaria from Wise Monkey Wellness, offering an opportunity to slow down, rest and simply receive.
Whether you come for the movement, the stillness or the opportunity to give back, you’re invited to be part of something that extends beyond the mat.
Sunday, November 15, 2026
6:30–8:30 PM
Epic Yoga & Fitness | Maple Ridge, BC
Registration: $40 per person
Limited to 30 participants.
All net proceeds from the event will be donated to The Uplifting Group, with funds used to purchase grocery store and prepaid Visa gift cards to support people experiencing homelessness in our local communities.
Kindness doesn’t have to begin or end on the mat.
In addition to the funds raised through registration, we’ll also be collecting physical donations for The Uplifting Group. You’re welcome to contribute any of the following:
Every contribution, big or small, helps provide practical support to someone in our community.
You don’t need to do something extraordinary to make a difference. Sometimes it’s simply showing up, sharing what you can and remembering that the way we care for one another matters.
Come practice kindness with us.

Alison Réaume has spent nearly two decades teaching yoga and exploring what happens when the practice becomes about more than getting the poses “right.”
As a yoga teacher, teacher trainer, and somatic educator, she helps students develop a more curious and connected relationship with their practice, while supporting yoga teachers in becoming more thoughtful, adaptable, and confident in the way they teach.
Her work brings together movement, somatic awareness, philosophy, breath, self-study, and a belief that yoga should make room for the person practicing it.
Alison offers classes, workshops, retreats, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, and continuing education for yoga teachers throughout the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver, along with online learning opportunities.
