YYOGA Experience

Congratulations and thank you to our Richmond community for voting YYoga as Richmond's Best Yoga Studio! It is through the dedication of our guests, teachers and friendly guest service team that has created this vibrant and welcoming yoga environment which allows us to experience exactly "why yoga."

We are very happy to announce that Andrea Spiegel will be moving from her position as Studio Director of Highgate to open South Granville. Filling her position at Highgate is Catherine LaVallee!

We are also excited to announce that Rachel Scott will be taking over for Christine Price Clark as the Studio Director of Yaletown. We want to thank Christine for being an amazing leader in the Yaletown community and will continue seeing her on the teaching schedule.

Congratulations to Andrea, Catherine and Rachel!

At YYoga, a girl timidly told me I had my yoga pants on inside-out - she’d seen me arrive from the street like that! I burst out laughing and then she laughed, too. Three years ago I’d have shrunk in embarrassment but that was pre-yoga.

I first tried yoga to rejuvenate from physical exhaustion, caused by grief after a death. The grief was heart-based –it couldn’t be spoken to -but yoga wordlessly relieved it. I moved on to use yoga to calm mind-based anxieties. Now I do it to express what Sjanie at YYoga calls brightness: “Reach for the sun like kids do.”
