Ashtanga Yoga Vancouver

Highly recommend!Despite having only taken classes online, I've had a fantastic experience so far: teachers are attentive and give specific instructions for each individual, they follow up with helpful links so that you can understand certain postures or movements better, and answer any questions you may have (in class, or via email). There are lots of helpful resources online to learn more about certain postures, the breath, bandhas...Ashtanga is challenging, yet feels simultaneously energizing and renewing. As a full time professional athlete, I've found it an excellent compliment to training, and well as providing some new insight for alignment and power output for my sport.Thanks ayv!

So happy to have found a studio that embraces plus size and body positive Ashtanga. Amazing knowledgeable teachers who care and provide personalized individual attention. I really feel supported in my practice. Really great community.

Fiona is an exceptional teacher and she has created an amazing community of inspiring, welcoming and dedicated yogis. It feels like a home away from home for many, including myself.This yoga Shala (studio) stands by its values and really embodies the grace and humility of its teachers and practitioners.

Amazing place to practice! All the teachers are fantastic and they have created a wonderful student community as well. Fiona runs an amazing shala with a great energy that keeps you coming back, challenging yet supportive and fun.

I went for a week to practice while I was visiting Vancouver. I love it!! I took Maria's evening mysore classes. I love the way she adjusted me. She really knows what she does. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a nice place to practice !! Looking forward to come back.

I've been attending AYV for over a year now and I LOVE IT!!! The head teacher (Fiona Stang) has helped me progress in the practice at a pace that works for my body. She has decades of experience and it shows. Maria is also an important mentor to me, and has helped me grow in the practice. I love you AYV!

Over the past several months I have had the pleasure of participating in the zoom Mysore and led classes offered by Fiona and the other lovely teachers at AYV. I live in the Yukon and have not had access to an Ashtanga teacher on a regular basis for a few years. That has changed now that classes are available online. Fiona does an excellent job of providing valuable feedback to students in the zoom classes. She also takes the time to connect regularly via email to check-in, provide further feedback and even send short videos she has produced to help in my practice. It has been great to have a teacher again, one that seems very dedicated to her students. This has been one positive outcome of the pandemic. I am grateful for AYV and the boost it has given my practice!

Great studio for Ashtangis of all levels. Fiona and Saori are dedicated, attentive, and a pleasure to be around.

Absolutely amazing yoga school. Not just studio. Teachers are very present, exceptionally well trained, attentive and providing personal coaching to every student depending on the body type, challenges and strengths. Hands on with personalized home work" nothing escapes them:)I am so grateful and happy that I found this studio and this practice. After years of searching and trying out Bikram
