YOGA with PIPER

Kristine Piper

Yoga allows me to polish how I see and interact with the world, inviting a more spacious, forgiving, bright version of myself into being.

While challenging, advanced postures are initially what drew me to yoga, I am most inspired now by how sustainable movement, breath work, and meditation can support a healthy, vibrant life. My active yoga classes are slow and intentional, focusing on integrative movements that support you in feeling comfortable and confident in who you are. I also love teaching relaxing yoga, and have experienced first hand the how vital slowing down is to physical and mental health.

In addition to teaching and studying Yoga, I studied Communication and Sustainable Community Development at Simon Fraser University, and work at a non-profit to help advance social, economic, and environmental sustainability across British Columbia.

Bringing together tradition with modern understanding of body, breath, & mind, I look forward to providing tools and space for you to reveal and rest in the magic of who you are.
