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 are some highlights from the STRETCH Yoga calendar for the month of April (space is limited, and registering in advance is highly recommended):

Workshops & Masterclasses

Yoga + Live Harp Music with Boyd Thomson

Whether you are new to yoga or familiar with the stress-relieving effects of Yin yoga with live music, this session is for you. YIN is a slow style of yoga suitable for all levels. Through Boyd’s guidance, you’ll use yoga props to support and cradle your body in each posture, allowing you to tailor the shape to your needs and sink deeply into a state of relaxation. Meanwhile, Mariah’s live harp will create a soothing, peaceful atmosphere in which your mind can come to rest. We can’t wait to provide you with this incredible opportunity to give yourself a much-deserved break, and to come away feeling rested and rejuvenated.
