Yoga Space 

I lead Vinyasa yoga classes offered at an affordable price to the public. I planned and geared the yoga practice to participants of all ages and levels (i.e., beginners and advanced). This allowed to increase the inclusiveness of the community and enabled people with different means to gain the benefit of yoga practice.

Bathurst Street - Stories of Adversity and Diversity

The purpose of this project was to reinforce the intergenerational relationship between seniors and the younger generation by showing the history of Toronto's Jewish community. The motivation for this project is to support the social participation and inclusion of seniors in the community and to strengthen their relationships with one another and enhance cohesion and understanding within the local community. This project provided seniors with the opportunity to serve as mentors and educators, teaching students about cultural diversity, immigration, and coping with life's challenges by sharing their own experiences and personal story. We invite the seniors to participate in storytelling workshops that took place in four different community centres across the GTA. An animated documentary film was developed as a final product of this project, which incorporated the recorded interviews of the participants. The plan is to show this film to students at a series of events at their schools. Click here to watch the documentary film
