About Me

Coming from an extensive dance background, yoga has always been a supplemental practice for me for over a decade. I specifically gravitated towards hot and power styles of yoga because of the challenge that resonates with me. I have been a professional dancer for the past 13 years and currently branching into the choreography and acting world. I’m grateful to have chosen a path which I love deeply. I have been a part of the YYOGA community for several years now, but it was when I came back home from living abroad in 2019 when I decided to take my 200 hour training with YYOGA. I’m also certified in yin and currently doing my pilates certification. I believe in different forms of movement and how they can all connect. In my classes, I tend to bring a fun, challenging and creative practice incorporating various elements of movement that connects the student with themselves. Yoga, to me, is about self-discovery and self-development and I aim to share that practice with my students.

What should students expect from your class?

A fun, dynamic, all-levels class that will have you feeling balanced, grounded, and energized.

About Me

I fell in love with yoga during my first class and have been practicing ever since. The physical, mental, & spiritual benefits of the practice became an integral part of my life on and off the mat, and teaching was the next step in giving back to the nourishing yoga community. During the pandemic, I took my 200 Hour YTT – a really rewarding and meaningful journey during a challenging time. I specialize in YHot, Flow & Hatha styles, and incorporate elements of nature, self-love & gratitude.

What should students expect from your class?

A lighthearted, thoughtful and dynamic exploration of shapes and breath guided by music to fuel your movement.

About Me

I took my first class in 2003 and quickly found, in the busyness of life, a challenging practice of coming home to myself. Over the years yoga has invited me to come back to the present moment, breathe through tension and grief, increase mobility and flexibility, and build strength. After many years of classes, workshops, and trainings, I began teaching in 2019.

My teaching is influenced and informed by many lineages and modalities including Vinyasa, Flow, Vinyasa Krama, Hatha, Restorative, Iyengar, Anusara, Movement Method, Mindfulness, and Pranayama. My classes are creative and intentional. Each breath, each movement is an opportunity to find balance – between strength and softness, form and function, rigidity and fluidity. I am passionate about daily movement on and off the mat and sharing yoga in community is my favorite way to explore the ways we can move through the world.

What should students expect from your class?

A challenging but also lighthearted and playful time.

About Me

I am a movement generalist and artist. Over the years, I have dived into a wide range of practices such as Yoga, Acrobatics, and Capoeira. In my teachings, I invite playfulness, curiosity, and a willingness to try and explore new possibilities, regardless of one’s level of practice.

What should students expect from your class?

An opportunity to explore, play, and practice what will help you off the mat.

About Me

I bring to all my classes clear and precise cues, creative sequencing, uplifting ideas, and… myself. I am a cat mama who loves dance and cake, and learning everyday what it means to live a heart-centred life. For every class I teach, I aim to show up fully as myself and ensure that all students feel seen.

I am deeply grateful to my friend who convinced me to try my first yoga class in my early 20’s. Over the years, I have practiced in all sorts of weird spaces and with different teachers from diverse backgrounds. I found that the teachers I kept going back to created a space where I could feel protected enough – free enough – to fully let go and dive deeper. Now in my 7th year of teaching, I hope that I can do the same, and make each class a welcoming space for introspection and exploration.

I completed my 200 Hour Training with Semperviva in 2016, and in addition to short trainings for hands-on assists, Ayurveda, myth, and mantra, I am also working on my 300 Hour Vinyasa Training with Clara Roberts-Oss.

What should students expect from your class?

Expect a safe space to explore and play, as we connect to our body, mind and spirit.

About Me

I am a Physical Therapist, Strength and Conditioning Coach and Yoga Instructor in Richmond British Columbia. Empowering and helping others move is one of my biggest passions. My love for movement has always been two-fold – I love to move my own body, but I also love to watch others move.

I found yoga in 2010 and I never looked back. It started out as another “workout” and quickly transformed and expanded into all aspects of my life. The “Yin” quality of this practice, balanced out my “Yang”- dominant personality and lifestyle. The mat became my place of stability and gratitude. In 2015 I pursued my teacher training to share this powerful practice with others.

My classes are grounded on proper body alignment, stability, mind-muscle connection and motor control. My goal is to help students gain strength, mobility and balance as they connect physically and spiritually to their higher self.

About Me

My name is Robyn, and I am truly honored to be here with you. My wellness journey truly began after some big life changes. I was in a challenging place and my mat was my safe space. I turned to yoga and really started to dig deep. I have learned so much about who I am and what I want to share with you. Life will not always be easy but when we prioritize our minds, bodies, and souls we unlock our full potential to rise. I cannot wait to sweat, connect and thrive with all of you.

What should students expect from your class?

Expect to feel nourished, relaxed and to laugh a little.

About Me

I was drawn to Yoga for its ability to calm my mind, reduce anxiety and inspire living in the moment. I credit Yoga for connecting my body and mind, and for teaching me how to breathe through even the most challenging situations.

YHot is my favourite yoga practice as it allows for a deep release while building strength and stamina. My classes focus on promoting strength, and emphasizing sensation. I create a safe space in my classes, my goal being to make every student feel welcome, supported and included.

What should students expect from your class?

A well themed and intelligently sequenced class to meet the underlying intention and tone of the day. My classes are full breath awareness and freedom in movement with attention to safe and individual alignment. You’ll leave class feeling energized, renewed, and inspired to take the “yoga” off your mat and with you into your day.

About Me

With an original background in dance and theatre, I first came to yoga to find another form of expression through my body. I immediately fell in love with the endless possibilities not only to expand the body but also the mind. Yoga carries me to a place where I can feel fully connected in body, mind and spirit.

I have been guiding and mentoring students through my teaching for over 15 years and I am forever grateful to the many teachers and students who have inspired me along the way. I am a RYT-500 and ERYT-500 teacher and have been co-leading teacher trainings for a decade. I teach inspiring classes full of breath awareness, curiosity in movement and attention to alignment in the body, in both Vinyasa Power Flow and Hatha style classes.

I am always seeking to learn and discover more through master teachers such as Janet Stone, Max Strom, Rod Stryker, and more. I am currently studying positive psychology through the Flourishing Center to deepen my emotional support to students, the community, and my family.

What should students expect from your class?

My classes are challenging and mindful, at the same time, grounding and playful. Think island vibes vibes!

About Me

I am a passionate yoga teacher and student from the Philippines!

Love at first class – that was what I felt after a flow class that I took more than a decade ago. I was drawn to the challenge and sense of calm that the practice gave me. The desire to deepen my practice led to a teacher training in 2012 which ignited the calling to share my yoga to the community. I completed my 500-hr certification with YogaWorks in NYC and I have been teaching ever since. My inspirations and mentors are David Kim, Heather Seagraves, Bernie Clarke, Rachel Scott, and Jasmina Egeler. My passion led me to co-own a yoga studio in the Philippines and teach in New York, Saigon and Vancouver. I am trained in Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin. As an island girl, I very much enjoy Stand-up Paddle Yoga!

I am also a plant-based Holistic Nutritionist, a Reiki practitioner, and on my way to becoming a Life Coach. I co-founded Ubuntu Festival – a movement that promotes wellness and mindfulness through yoga, plant-based food, and music.

When not on the mat, you’ll find me whipping up vegan treats while dancing to some cool tunes, or reading a self-exploration book.

What should students expect from your class?

A juicy hour of articulated movement of the spine and joints with fiery and sneaky work to build vitality and reset bio-mechanically, and a great playlist.

About Me

I’m Christine, and my pronouns are she/her. I love music and singing and dancing and I love to collect things and thoughts that confuse me. I’m a teacher of movement classes that are trauma-informed, strengths-based, and open to all bodies and gender presentations. I teach with warmth in a style that is grounded in pilates but also incorporates yoga, dance, mindfulness, and some other modalities that I’ve studied along the way. I am a life-long student of movement and my practice for me is a source of mental focus and agency, grounding and clearing, connection and aliveness.

What should students expect from your class?

An empowering experience through a flow of asanas with alignment cues and deliberated breaths that connects you to your body.

About Me

My yoga journey started in 2013 with SivanandaYoga, Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions. I decided to pursue my passion for yoga, so I attended Yoga teacher training in 2017 followed by another training in Ashtanga Assisting School in Toronto. Meanwhile, I was studying fitness and health promotion to learn more about anatomy and body movements that I could integrate into my yoga sequences and teaching.

I have learned about our body and its amazing abilities through Yoga. It taught me that transformation is a journey that should be taken slowly and mindfully. While practice and consistency is essential to make progress, being fully present in the moment is the key. It was a turning point in my life when I realized this. My passion is to design sequences of yoga asanas while considering fitness principles. In practice, I use verbal cues to focus on body alignment, gazing points and mindful breathing. Challenging yoga movements have uncovered my deep emotions which led to moments of relief. The body and mind are phenomenally connected and I try to deepen this connection in my teaching.
