Free Yoga Classes & Public Workshops

I offer free yoga classes in Vancouver at The Gathering Place Community Centre every week. These sessions are drop-in and open to anyone who is curious about practicing yoga in a way that is gentle, trauma-informed, and accessible.

You’re invited to join:

Gentle, trauma-informed yoga (Monday and Friday mornings)
Yoga nidra meditation with aromatherapy and tea (Thursday Evenings)

No registration is required, mats are provided—just come as you are. If you choose to register in advance, you’ll receive updates if there are any schedule changes to that class.

Community Workshops & Retreats

Workshops and retreats offer a deeper space to slow down, practice, and explore.

These yoga and meditation workshops are designed for those who want more time, more depth/context, and more support than a drop-in class allows. We work with embodied practice, reflection, and shared learning to build awareness, capacity, and relational skill.

Workshops and retreats are paid events and require registration in advance. Subscribers always receive early access and discounted rates.

The series is inspired in part by contemplative traditions from South Asia, including the nondual philosophy of Tantric Meditation. In that tradition, the word Pratyabhijñā means “recognition” — the re-cognition of our own awareness as something already present and fundamental.
