Farmers Market – Trout lake

Saturday Mornings | John Hendry Park | 10AM-12PM

With a pared down schedule, this is your only opportunity to experience Social Yoga classes for the rest of this summer- and it’s not a bad way to go about doing it! Once again, The Social Yoga has paired up with Vancouver Farmers’ Markets to bring you the perfect combination for a healthy start to your weekend. Join in on an outdoor flow yoga class and be gifted a take home bag of produce each week. Pre-registration essential as bags are prepped ahead of time.

The Cheapest Yoga Retreat Ever 2.0

August 22-23 | Full day

Last month, The Social Yoga launched a first of its kind yoga retreat- namely, The Cheapest Yoga Retreat Ever. Pairing west coast camp vibes with yoga & meditation, the weekend was a huge success- which is why they’re doing it again. This time, instead of hiking in to a backcountry campsite, The Cheapest Yoga Retreat 2.0 will bring participants via kayak to a secret spot for an overnighter of beach yoga, sunset meditation, and beers around the campfire (because, forest safety). Spots are even more limited than last time so be sure to sign up soon.

The Shoppe Series

Tuesday Nights | 7-9PM | London Fields Shoppe

If you’ve ever gone into a shop and saw a bunch of things you didn’t realize you needed- you were probably in London Fields Shoppe. The Social Yoga is taking up residency there on Tuesday nights this fall to bring you their signature class with an extra bonus gift from the shop at the end of the series. You can call it an incentive, or you can consider it retail therapy meets Therapy that Makes you Sweat.

The Morning After Series

Sunday Mornings | Krokodile Pear Yaletown | 9:30-11:30AM

Detox from Saturday night with the perfect one stop shop of green juice and yoga. The Social Yoga will have you stretched, soothed, and ready to go before brunch.

The Getaway | Friday September 18- Sunday September 20

There are still a few spots left up for grabs for the inaugural Social Yoga Getaway. This is not your everyday yoga retreat for the not so everyday person. The team at Social Yoga have partnered with local talent: Woodlot, Fox and Flourish, Flour Water Salt, Museum Eats, and holistic nutritionist Jennifer Northrup to create a power-packed weekend of workshops. Go on a hike to forage for mushrooms, bake your own bread, and eat it all in one meal. Other things to look forward to include learning how to dot your I’s and cross your T’s, some aromatherapy/self care lessons from Woodlot, and plenty of yoga to go around.

Details

We are a nomadic studio. Breweries, cafes, and galleries are some examples of places we call home. It’s easy to find peace and calm when you’re in the studio-  where’s the zen when you’re in a line for a growler fill on a Friday night? We believe wherever you go, there you are.  And sometimes, it’s better to go where the food is good and the view is fresh.

Check in with our social media feeds to see what we are planning next.

About Social Yoga

Social Yoga was launched at the end of 2014 as an alternative take on a yoga class experience. In a city full of fitness aficionados, we’re taking on yoga in a different way. We aren’t your everyday yoga class. Literally. Classes are organized by the series- meeting once a week for four weeks. This is yoga for the person who isn’t just a “yogi”- we all have lives and other interests too.

Everyone knows, bigger isn’t better. You aren’t just another member number with us. Class sizes are small, intimate, and conversational which means you get to ask questions and call the shots by deciding what it is you want to get out of the experience.

We bring Yoga down to earth and use it as a way to connect people with cool spaces, other cool people, and most importantly, to connect people to themselves. We call it ‘Therapy that Makes you Sweat”.
