Tedi
Yoga is the pause in my day. It takes me onto an island where I can connect to my essence and reconnect with universal vibration of the planet. Since I was a teenager I have had a love affair with the practice of yoga and I'm always excited to share my passion. With a background in kinesiology and personal training I am very injury conscious and do my best to que proper alignment so everybody can leave injury free and feeling better then when they came. In addition to group classes I spend a lot of time teaching privates for more individual attention. I love laughter and getting over perceived limitation to help students see their potential. Yoga should be fun, explorative and non judgemental. Yoga makes the world a more loving, compassionate place, everybody should find their own "yoga". www.tedimartin.com

Jenafor (sub)
Jenafor has been passionate about movement since she sprang from the womb! Dancing, cycling, climbing, running, walking, and stretching all have a place in her heart, but yoga has become her most treasured pursuit of movement. Yoga offers a mix of all of Jen's favorite elements of moving the body; challenge, peace, heat, playfulness, reflection, stillness, fluidity, creativity, and self expression. Having practiced yoga for over a decade, deepening her knowledge and her practice seemed the next natural step, so in 2011, Jenafor completed the 200 hour teacher training program with Semperviva's Teacher Training College in Vancouver. Jenafor guides students through a flowy hatha practice, with moments for stillness, all rooted in breath. Her classes are accessible to all levels. Jen is forever humbled by the willingness and trust that students bring to their mats, and she is devoted to bringing the same qualities to her classes. May love, light, acceptance, and gratitude shine upon you from within you! Namaste.

Peter
I am a Yogi – practitioner, student and teacher - and I have a deep passion for this wonderful practice and lifestyle. From my first experiences with asana, pranayama and meditation I knew that Yoga would be my path. My main goal in life is to share that passion and this practice that has transformed me profoundly with as many people as I can. I teach from personal experience and from my Heart. I believe in a practice led by breath and the innate wisdom of the body. I take students through sequences and into asanas with precision while encouraging them to turn inwards and observe the profound effects of the practice in the moment. I teach humbly and as a channel for this amazing tradition forever grateful to my teachers and those who have guided me.

Yin
Yin Yoga is a powerful practice which targets tendons, ligaments and fascia within the body. Each posture is held for long periods of time to encourage the slow and safe opening of connective tissues, leaving the yogi with an overall feeling of lightness, spaciousness and peace. The perfect antidote to stress and a great counter balance to more active style yoga.

Jacci
Jacci’s journey in yoga began over 12 years ago when she sought out Ashtanga yoga as an alternate form of training for her career as a professional dancer. Once on the mat, she discovered that yoga was not only the perfect way to balance out the body’s strengths and weaknesses, but it also left her feeling peaceful and at ease. As her awareness grew she was able to manage chronic injuries left in her body from a career in dance. She even averted pending low-back surgery by committing to a steady and mindful yoga practice. She remains constantly humbled by how deep this practice can penetrate. A firm believer in the body-mind connection, she encourages her students to move away from the ego and into the true self. She is currently teaching hatha, flow and vinyasa yoga throughout Vancouver. Her classes emphasize a strong awareness of physicality along with self-acceptance and trusting the innate intelligence of the body. She has proudly been teaching yoga to all ages and abilities since 2004.

Yoga Retreats and Holidays

Looking for a healthier way to spend your holidays? Semperviva Yoga Retreats and Holidays are beautiful escapes that allow you to release the built up stress of daily life. In addition to practicing lots of yoga and meditation, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore the cultural and natural landscapes of your chosen destination. Join us for a cruise around a Greek Island, learn to surf, hike through a beautiful BC rainforest, or take a jungle tour in Costa Rica. Make new friends, get strong and healthy, and come home feeling relaxed and re-energized. 

Yoga Teacher Training graduates, please note that Yoga Retreats are counted towards Continuing Education Units for Yoga Teachers.
