If you want to stick to your traditional yoga roots, Dharma Yoga is a great option. Lots of different classes to choose from, including meditation and pranayama, yoga nidra, pilates, hatha, flow, and master classes. Also on the schedule are Dharma yoga classes, an accessible yet challenging series based on classical yoga principles.

5) Moksha Yoga (also known as Modo)

Looking for a good sweat and a gentle butt-kicking? Check out a Moksha Yoga studio, with three locations around Vancouver. This series of postures helps to stretch, strengthen and tone the body and is designed to be practiced in a specially-heated room. Every studio in the community is built around seven core values: be healthy, be accessible, live green, community support, reach out, live to learn, and be peace. A heart-warming place to be, you’ll leave feeling inspired, refreshed and calm.

6) The Social Yoga

With a focus on small class sizes and a conversational, laid-back approach to teaching, you’ll have plenty of time to ask all your yoga related queries. A nomadic studio, the social yoga concept is quite unique, as it allows you to connect with others in cool new spaces around Vancouver. Some options include The Juice Truck Series, located in the community room of a hip cold-pressed juice cafe, and Meditation in Tight Spaces, a meditation class housed in a vintage streamline trailer. If you’re looking for an alternative to your typical yoga class, you’ve found it.
