This year Lumenus needs you more than ever! Depression, anxiety, hopelessness and behavioral challenges are on the rise among our most vulnerable populations. Lumenus has seen a rapid increase in demand for services over the past year, in part due to increased discussion, visibility, and lessening of the stigma attached to mental health issues. Funds raised through EMBODY YOGA will support Lumenus programs and services. We'll put the money to work building capacity in Toronto, reducing barriers to system access and creating seamless care where there are gaps today.

Meet Your Mentalist Performer Ryan Edwards

Growing up Ryan knew that he wasn't like most children, but the true extent of these differences weren't yet clear. He knew that he struggled in some places where others didn't. As a student with ADD, he was frustrated with the feeling of being behind his fellow classmates, but there were other areas where he excelled. Ryan combined that passion with his ability to read people and started performing his own style of magic and mentalism. Now, after 20 years in the art, Ryan is regarded as one of the best thinkers and performers of Magic and Mentalism in the World!
