Ashtanga Yoga Vancouver

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.

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!

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!

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.

Fiona is a true Yogi. Her action, her speech and her teaching are so inspiring. During lockdown, even though all the classes are online, I feel I still get to learn a lot via her instructions on zoom, emails and her video tutorials. Different platforms but the essence is all there. She always be able to answer all my questions and so spot on. I also highly recommend her workshops. I took three of them before, they helped me so much deepen my practice.
