More than just a yoga CLASS.

Maitri Yoga offers more than just yoga classes - the cozy East Vancouver boutique studio runs workshops, yoga therapy, yogic counselling, community meditation sessions, yoga nidra, study groups and events like retreats that help you discover true personal growth and allow you to become the person you really want to be. You can also request a class to be started just for you and your friends.

Purna Yoga teaches us that All Life is Yoga, and a continued study exposes you to a depth of learning not only in asana and pranayama, but also in meditation, nutrition and lifestyle and yoga philosophy.

MEDITATION COMMUNITY

HEARTFULL MEDITATION

In our meditation the objective is not to 'empty the mind' but to direct our energies and thoughts to more Light and Love, in order for us all to live our life aligned with our Dharma, our Soul's purpose. The Meditation Snacks are a delightful, easy and accessible tool to synchronize one's thoughts, actions and energy to add brilliance to the world and effect both personal and collective transformation.

Laura is pleased to offer a recurring (about every 3-4 weeks) community meditation session for those interested in the rejuvenating and calming effects of gathering together and cultivating silence. These sessions are by donation.

The next philosophy / meditation circle is on Sunday Feb 16 at 6 pm.

YOGA THERAPY + counselling

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Private sessions are often the most effective tool for clients with therapeutic needs. Laura is a Certified Professional Yoga Therapist and a full member of the IAYT. Sometimes even one session can bring about substantial relief. Private sessions are also excellent for students who wish to deepen their practice or simply troubleshoot a pose.

Private sessions cost CAD 180 or € 120 / 90 minutes (initial session) and CAD 120 or € 80/ 60 minutes (subsequent sessions).

Yogic counselling is offered either in person or online. Sessions cost CAD 100 / 50 minutes. Yoga philosophy offers a unique perspective to life and can unlock new discoveries of oneness, the self, as well as validation and belonging.
