Organizer
The Yoga Root
The Yoga Root is a small, award-winning community yoga studio in North Vancouver, BC. If the fast pace of fitness yoga isn't for you, we invite you to see another side of yoga! Slower, mindful yoga provides benefits for body, mind and spirit – improving your physical fitness, easing tensions and anxiety, and helping your nervous system develop greater resilience. We want people to experience these benefits by helping them to develop a regular yoga and meditation practice. You don't need to be strong or limber to begin yoga – strength and flexibility will come with time. If you can breathe, you can do yoga!
In addition to indoor, outdoor, and online classes, we also offer private sessions and corporate yoga at your site, one of our locations, or via Zoom.
