    Cozy yoga, meditation and teacher training studio located in the heart of Gastown. All classes are by donation with a suggested minimum donation of $5! Lots of different classes offered including: Hatha, Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative and Meditation.

    Such a blessed space! The instructors are amazing and Karma Yoga does so much for the community. They offer a wide range of yoga classes and their dance classes are so much fun! Highly recommend checking them out.

    Excellent Place to do Yoga Teacher Training in Vancouver. I got my certificate in 2019. The life training is simply unparalleled. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to advance their Yoga as a professional or in life training.

    Had my most memorable yoga session here today. I had never meditated so well. The atmosphere that karma yoga offers is unlike any other studio. Once I stepped in, I could feel the true peace and compassion that yoga embodies. Their new location is in gastown and I believe that it was a strategic decision. I love that their mission is to offer classes to those who really need it but may not be able to afford a class at any other studio. I will always support this wonderful initiative ❤️. Thank you for spreading kindness into this world!

    My experience at Karma teachers has been quite hit and miss. When I have attended a class where the instructors have been there, its been wonderful. Teachers are well trained and even willing to go the extra mile in the class setting to cater to the needs of the class. UNFORTUNATELY, this is when they show up! I travel on transit quite far to get to classes that will fit into my schedule, and it is very frustrating when I take the time to plan my schedule around getting to a class and the instructors don't show up. I like Karma teachers because it is a model of social responsibility that I want to support, but today marks the 4th time I have signed up for a morning class, gotten up early to be there, and the instructor has decided its not worth getting up early to be there too. I understand that the by donation model creates less incentive for instructors to fulfill their commitments, but as a paying customer I have a running tab now for classes I have paid for and have not received... I appreciate the volunteer based structure at Karma teachers, and really have enjoyed my experiences there when its worked out. I just warn anyone who signs up that they may go all the way there for nothing. There needs to be a better system in place to encourage teachers to hold to their commitment to teach.

    A fantastic group of people teach & practice here. They are all very welcoming; no one is turned away. The space as well is beautiful & amazing. 100% will practice here again. I came because a friend of mine is doing her teacher training here. They hold their classes by donation. The teacher I had for Yin yoga was wonderful & helped correct / adjust some of my poses. Beyond happy I was introduced to Karma.

    The 200-hour teacher training exceeded my expectations. Incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt teachings from all the instructors- their unique styles resonated in different ways and helped me remain curious about the subtleties in the art of the practice. An opportunity for quality education, with all the space for self-growth.

    The YTT exceeded my expectations with high-quality instruction, a strong foundation in anatomy, ethics, history, and lots of opportunity to self-reflect and grow as a person. Highly recommend. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

    Wonderful yoga teacher training! I learned so much and healed a lot in terms of my relationship to yoga as a practice. Very grateful for the experience.

  • 5/5 好心Zhang Y. 8 months ago on Google
    My English writing needs improvement, I’m using a translator: My wife and I moved to Vancouver from Hangzhou, and my wife was involved with Yoga before we moved to Canada. I have never taken Yoga before, and my English is poor, I have also been suffering from lower back pains, after his class, my back pains are gone. Andrew has been an excellent coach to us, not only in Yoga but with assimilating to Canadian culture. He has been understanding with our English proficiency, he has gone out of his way to learn English teaching methods like TPR to help us. We have invited our friends to come to join his class, he has been important to our community integration to Canada.

    I just completed the 6 week, intensive 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have come away with an awareness of skills which I didn't realize were part of what made all my great teachers great. It was a great opportunity to learn about the intricacies of language usage, cueing, pacing, timing, and direct instruction. The use of breath, deliberate body placement and student observation were illustrated & encouraged. No study of Hatha Yoga would be complete without some history, philosophy, a bit of Sanskrit and basic anatomy. It was fantastic. If you’ve been thinking about becoming a Yoga Teacher, seek Karma Teachers out. They are lovely.

😠 It became impossible to work out here in a timely manner. There's just too many people to the point where you won't be able to find any available machines or even floor space for your mat. The change rooms are neglected on a daily basis. The floor is disgusting to step on, either wet or dirty, and p...

👍 It’s a nice gym - one of the best in Vancouver in terms of size and quality of equipment. It’s great they have a women’s only section that is well equipped. However the way they get you to join is by pressuring you with deals. They advertise a ‘3 day free trial’ but that’s not really true, since you...
