Mission

• SimpleCityYoga
SimpleCityYoga provides safe Anusara-inspired Yoga, Hatha and Power Yoga classes with an emphasis on alignment,  breath and our connection to the flow of life for every body to explore themselves in and beyond various physical forms; for every mind to invoke the most positive and capable concept of self; and for every heart to find, relentlessly follow and express its intention to find a deeper meaning, more joy and beauty in all of life’s creative scenarios.
 

• ESL Yoga
ESL Yoga formally teaches English as a Second Language through the physical practice of Yoga and applies universal Yogic lessons and integrated physical principles as a tool for ESL students and New Canadians to mentally and physically cope with challenges which arise from settling into a new environment. To develop English language competence, physical and self-well-being ESL Yoga uses educational materials and best teaching practices that inspire communication as well as a sense of belonging by providing public and on-site ESL Yoga classes in organizations and ESL schools.
 

• Yoga Ed.
Yoga Ed. recognizes that all youth need tools to self-regulate to academically succeed and that all teachers need tools to find professional fulfilment in the public school system. To that end SimpleCityYoga is uniquely certified to utilize the internationally and nationally recognized curriculum of Yoga Ed. to provide education based Yoga classes to youth and their teachers in Vancouver, the UK and Germany. The curriculum addresses PE standards and provides efficient tools to shift physical and mental states to create a harmonious and purposeful learning and work environment.
