The Yoga Space

These folks are excellent. Absolutely excellent. Good attention to your body and it’s needs. They come around and make sure you are doing your pose correctly. They support adaptations if your body isn’t able to do a particular pose or poses - due to injury or physical inability. No sloppiness or inattention here.

I've been a client for three years, and I visit other studios, as well.Here, my teachers are Cheryl, Morgan, and sometimes Louie.The physical and mental impact has been significant. Daily activities such as walking and sitting have changed for the better, though I never thought this could happen. My tolerance and flexibility has been drastically improved. Chronic pains and inflexibility (some of which I had no idea about) have minimized at incredible rates.As a masters swimmer and a life-long skier, yoga in general has certainly been a major benefit. (Typically I will go to a yoga class post-swim and post-skiing.)While I do have multiple teachers in different styles and at different studios, The Yoga Space is the foundation benefiting the rest of my yoga practice.The pace and style at The Yoga Space is the closest thing to having a private instructor, who will give you good, personal feedback.For anyone in general but especially beginners, 100% recommend.

The short:- practicing Iyengar yoga with Cheryl since Jan 2020, loving it and highly recommend her and themThe long:- started with their evening group classes instructed by Cheryl. Then, switched to private lessons.- Cheryl is not only an excellent teacher, but an exceptional person. She is very caring, attentive to her student’s needs. She is passionate about yoga and loves her work, which clearly shows in our sessions and is inspirational. Despite years of knowledge and experience, she actively and continuously looks to improve and expand her yoga expertise.- the studio was good, well equipped with props but was closed due to or around covid.

The amazing thing about the Yoga Space above & beyond the incredible teachers is that the classes are progressive. You build on what you learn each semester. Between the attentiveness of the teachers and the support of the props, I continue to develop my yoga practice and am not at risk of getting injured. Missing a class is not an option. It’s also a great community of people.

No matter your level of yoga, Yoga Space teachers take care of you and support you, every class, with careful and knowledgeable instruction and helpful adjustments.I certainly enjoy their warm welcome and consistent good humour throughout the class.If you are curious about Iyengar Yoga, I highly recommend you try The Yoga Space.

This is different from your typical Vancouver yoga studio. It's a specialty studio focusing on Iyengar yoga, which uses props like bolsters and ropes to help you with your poses. The instructors are extremely professional and caring. I am just completing my first semester" here. I was sure I'd have aches and pains after a class

Appreciate the attention and care of the teachers. Very different from other studios where you're just one of the crowd. They are always accessible for questions and concerns.I've come to prefer this style of yoga. The asana precision required really helps me feel the body is well aligned.John

I started practicing yoga over 5 years ago after several recommendations from friends (and my physician!) to deal with general discomfort and stress from a computer oriented work life. I really had no idea what I was getting into but it has been a wonderful experience at the Yoga Space. I very much appreciate the individual attention and the ability of the teachers to adapt poses to accommodate any level of ability.

I love this yoga studio. I've been to many of the classes and all the teachers I've met are excellent. It's very easy to make up classes if you miss one - and all the teachers share the same approach so you can fit in to the make up class easily. One of my favourite things about this studio is that the teachers are very skilled in adapting the poses to any injuries or other issues that students have. I have never felt anything other than completely supported in working at my particular level. It's a very warm and friendly atmosphere, so that students at different levels feel comfortable to work side by side in the same class. And the studio has a wonderful view!

I recently attended an 8 day workshop with Louie Ettling. I was suffering from some knee discomfort at that time and , thanks to her focused approach and instruction on how to adapt my poses, my knee significantly improved and I now have the knowledge to continue my practice safely at home. I truly value Louie's experience and attention to detail. She is a wonderful teacher.
