SIGN for the Times
The Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours, commonly known as SIGN, is a not-for-profit agency in Yorkton, Saskatchewan Canada that provides 24 social and community programs and services ranging from daycare and before-and-after school programs to parenting and family support, from senior mobility to assistance for those living with HIV, from housing support to vocational employment, from walk-in counselling services to Indigenous cultural programs. Our podcasts explore those programs and include conversations with people who speak first-hand about the issues they have faced, but more importantly, how they have successfully overcome them.

SIGN Sexual Assault Counselling and All In One Family cultural awareness programs are conducting virtual live-streamed yoga classes in April, under the guidance of Nicole, who was trained by the Saskatchewan Indigenous Yoga Association. As she says, there is a strong relationship between yoga, founded in northern India, and our North American Indigenous cultures. "We all have a place on the yoga mat," she points out. Not only mats, she adds, but yoga can be practiced on a pillow, a chair, in a wheelchair... whatever is best for the participant, including the young and elderly.
