About

THE STORY

Hi! I'm Cas Donovan. The woman behind the project.

Many people find one true calling in life, and sitting still is not mine. Being a wife, boy mom, and yoga and fitness instructor means some days I'm wrangling a toddler covered in cheerios before teaching a yoga class, while others I'm making dinner and picking up toys after a high vibe workout. On the best days, I get to do it all!

Life didn't always look like this. My immersion into the fitness world began with competitive dance. As a dancer, I understood from an early age the physical benefits fitness offered. The mental health and wellbeing benefits became clear as a young adult when I began weight training. Yoga came into my life after a move north to the Cariboo, and after some encouraging from a close friend, I signed up for my first teacher training and the rest has been a whirlwind.

In the pursuit of growth and an addiction to learning, I strive to continually find new and exciting classes to add to my repetiore and the community. The Lemon Project is what it is, partly in thanks to the South Cariboo Community, specifically 100 Mile House. After a couple of less than ideal life events, I was given the opportunity to participate in a Self-Employment Program aiming to support local entrepreneurs and thus, the Lemon Project began to turn lemons into lemonade.

With fitness, as it is with life, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. At the Lemon Project, it is my goal to bring to you a variety of classes for both mind and body and help guide you to the right fit, whether in studio, outdoors or a location of your choosing.

NIDRA

NIDRA, or Sleep Yoga, is a method of guided meditation. Accessing a deep level of rest and healing, through your parasympathetic nervous system brings a reduction in stress and physical tension while increasing energy levels and thought patterns.

Science shows that 30-40 minutes of Nidra is equivalent to 4-6 hours of deep sleep.

MEDITATION

WELLNESS MEDITATION is a powerful, non-denominational practice that allows the mind and body to rest and reset. As you bring your body to stillness, you will be guided through a meditation to reduce stress and tension and bring ease and connection to all aspects of life.
