Featured Events

Starts April 3rd : Kundalini Yoga Intensive

Kundalini Yoga for Self Mastery and Teacher Development

Dear Friends, we are honoured that Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, and Gurushabd from Golden Bridge Yoga, Los Angeles will be joining with Semperviva to teach a Kundalini Yoga Intensive. This is the first time that a program of this kind is being offered. We are offering it to honour the many students who are deeply interested in Kundalini yoga but are not prepared to participate in a 200 hour personal development/teacher training program at this time. This program is also ideal for graduates of 200 hour teacher training programs of all traditions who would like to begin teaching Kundalini yoga.

The key components that differentiate Kundalini yoga from other styles of yoga will be addressed. You will have the opportunity to experience a Kundalini Sadhana, mantra, healing gong meditations, and countless yoga sets that will cleanse, detoxify, and strengthen you.

The aim of all yoga is to raise your Kundalini energy, your true potential. Learn how to use this ancient technology to awaken to your destiny. Your life is waiting...

SAT NAM

You will receive a certificate of completion valid for 35 CEUs (continuing education credits recognized by the Yoga Alliance of North America).

If you are unable to attend all four sessions, please call us at 604-739-2009 to discuss options for Saturday and Sunday.

April 11th-13th : Yin Yoga: Embodied Awareness with Sarah Powers

Sustaining our Inspiration on the Yogic Path

Whether we are neophytes or the most dedicated practitioner, we all may experience plateaus, times when we may lack inspiration, or flounder in our practice.

This workshop will include a balanced practice that encourages both vitality and insight. We will be moving through both a passive Yin practice of asana along with a flow (Yang) style, geared towards promoting an energized ease of being and clarity of mind for meditation. A guided and silent mindfulness meditation will follow the yoga sessions.

Starts April 18th : Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Program

Led by Janice Clarfield, this program is for yoga teachers and teachers in training and professionals who work with pregnant women (childbirth educators, doctors, doulas, massage therapists, midwives, nurses) who have an established yoga practice.

April 5th :
The Asana Lab with Clara Roberts-Oss

There are groups of poses that require more explanation or time to investigate. In these three hour classes, we will discuss the alignment of each pose, and take the time to explore how these poses manifest in our bodies. We will begin each class with a vinyasa flow to warm the body, then move to the workshop aspect of the class. Questions and active participation are encouraged!

Inversions: Turn It Upside Down!

Can we live life on the edge? Push your envelope! Playing with the upside down realm and watch your world shift. We'll begin with headstand and moving towards forearm stand.
