The Goods from STRETCH Yoga

Vancouver, BC | We are an eclectic collective of people interested in flexibility… of mind and body. We love to practice a wide range of yoga styles, sometimes with live music and always with a keen interest to find more inner space, more inner peace. We think of yoga as a proto science from long ago, an intuition that contemplative practices are part of what makes us humans. We are strivers and movers, art lovers, bright space dwellers, and we would like to share our yoga with you.

Here is what Stretch Yoga has to offer for the month of December:

AN ALL-LEVELS SERIES OF MEDITATION, MINDFULNESS, AND BREATH WORK. The start of a new year is the perfect time to come back to yourself and to begin again.

Each class will include a brief overview / lecture of the topic at hand, guided breath work, guided meditations, journaling and periods of silence. This is not a movement-focused series, yet there may be some meditative movements and releases shared throughout. Suitable for all practitioners.

Featured Class
1 Hour YOGA Classes: 7am and 12pm
Led by Risto Duggan (ROCKET 1 & 2), Boyd Thomson (FLOW), Brad Cierpicki (FLOW), Vanessa Bourget (FLOW), and Connor Roff (FLOW)

WHY ROCKET? ‘Because it gets you there faster.’ Developed by Larry Schultz, Rocket Yoga is rooted in the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa. Rocket is a dynamic, fast-paced flow, playing off the five series of Ashtanga Yoga in a unique, accessible way. ROCKET 1 reflects the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga, focusing on hip openers, forward bends, and developing core strength. It also introduces you to special Rocket arm balances and inversion postures. ROCKET 2 focuses on backbend techniques and seated spinal twists. This is a modified version of Ashtanga Yoga’s second series.

FLOW YOGA. Experience an intelligent, flowing sequence that will lead your mind and body to open, strengthen, release, and relax. Postures and transitions are taught in layers, with a focus on finding form in movement and supporting it with breath. You are always free to explore the version of any pose or cycle of poses that best serves you at any given moment. Sign up here.
