What can students expect from your classes?
Get ready for a Pilates class that packs a punch! Expect a powerful workout that challenges your strength, flexibility, and core, all while keeping the mood upbeat and lively. With intense exercises you’ll be pushed to your limits but with a smile on your face. Come prepared for a serious workout with a playful twist—you’ll leave feeling strong, balanced, and ready for more!
About Me
After I had to let go of my almost 9 year old Great Dane, Echo, I found myself diving into Pilates as a way to work through my grief and find new direction. It felt like Echo was leading me to this practice, so I went on to become a certified instructor in her honor. Every class I teach is a nod to her—reflecting the grace and strength she brought into my life. Now, I’m passionate about helping others discover healing and balance through Pilates, inspired by the same compassion and dedication Echo gave me.

What can students expect from your classes?
Since 2011, I have been offering workshops, courses and global retreats in addition to private and group classes. I am a yoga teacher mentor and yoga teacher trainer specializing in yoga postures, sequencing and the business of teaching yoga.
My teachings centre around a few major themes: self-compassion, anatomy-informed sequencing, cultivation of strength, celebrating diversity and curiosity with what’s possible. All of these qualities are taught with big doses of kindness and humour.
About Me
I live in Vancouver, B.C. with my wife, Christa and our two cats, Piccolo and Pipa. I have a deep love for composting, rereading Harry Potter and being in any body of water. If I could live off of one food for the rest of my life without consequences it would be ice cream.

What can students expect from your classes?
I love to build creative sequences that are both dynamic and soothing – allowing my students to leave the space feeling revigorated. Intuitive and inspired, every one of my classes is built with presence and acceptance as the foundation and movement and breath as the medicine.
About Me
As a Hatha, Vinyasa and Power Yoga teacher, my goal has always been to share my passion for body and mind wellness through the wisdom of Yoga and all that it encompasses. I have done 400h of training with Yoga Sangha in Montreal and have taught classes and workshops in both Montreal and Vancouver.

What should students expect from your classes?
To be challenged and held in an engaging, warm space.
About Me
Gathering in open spaces for movement-based practices is my happy place; I’ve studied lots of things in those places like dance, rhythmic gymnastics, musical theatre, group fitness, and yoga.
I began with independent study in India then completed the 200 hr Teacher Training and hot training at YYOGA. I’ve also taken a variety of fitness module trainings like yoga/pilates fusion and dance-inspired movement programs.
My personal practice and my work as a teacher challenge me to deepen my relationship to myself, others, and natural world. My classes aim to be spaces where others can do the same because I believe that those experiences can be transformative and life giving:
- Meeting in open spaces
- Engaging in practice
- Bearing witness to one another
- Allowing those experience to change us
See you in class!

My classes are usually silent (no music but sometimes I might rock a fun playlist that does not distract from awareness). I offer 1-4 levels in each pose. All levels are there to support stability and expansion of your breath.
About Me
I studied in India. Four different extended visits. Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore. Iyengar and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Rishikesh. Osho in Pune. I also studied in North America. Baba Hari Das in the US and Canada and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. And much more.

About Me
I took my first yoga class at the age of 14 with Jasmina Egeler and have been coming back to the practice ever since. I completed my 200hr and Hot trainings with YYoga, and have been lucky enough to be a part of this community for a long time. I have a background in ocean diving and I am always surprised by how the tools I’ve learned through that, like breath-work and pushing through discomfort in a way that feels safe, translate really well into the movement we do on the mat. I like alignment-based strong, yet accessible classes that have stability and fluidity embedded in them.

About Me
I’ve been teaching various styles of Yoga since 2002- from Power, Anusara Inspired, and Ashtanga Vinyasa, to Hatha, Yin and Restorative. My classes are opportunities to cultivate a deeper awareness and sense of belonging in our bodies, minds, and communities. I love to create non-intimidating spaces for all bodies to feel comfortable to be themselves, without judgement. I aim to offer therapeutic embodiment experiences that meet students where they are, and empower them to do what feels best for them from moment to moment. I’m passionate about helping fitness and movement spaces be more inclusive and accessible, offering a variety of choice-based options to meet individual needs. We will use conscious breath, mindful movement, and deep stillness to explore the human experience together.
