a little bit about us..
just yoga is about healing and transformation; through re-connecting to yourself, and to others. It's about building strong foundations and making positive choices in your life. It's not just about yoga; learn to heal yourself, empower yourself in your life and spread that joy to others.

our foundations
the concept and space of just yoga was created and designed by Jeni Bond - a Scot with 13+ years of yoga teaching and communications work and 5 years of research in Vancouver. Jeni decided to set up her own space in which to share accessible, soulful yoga.
The space at 53 East Broadway was previously a flooring store, and was refurbished over a 7 month period, re-using and re-purposing the existing fixtures and fittings where possible, to create a welcoming, friendly and safe environment for yoga.
"The things that are most important are providing a safe, easygoing environment, making yoga really accessible by breaking down barriers and having integrity in everything we do. We aim to build trust, reliability and offer some very high standards in teaching, service and approach. Yoga changes my life for the better every day, gives me clarity with every breath. I want to share the things I've learned with those that need it. " - Jeni Bond

what we offer
a range of classes to suit everyone, from beginners and stiff folks to the more practiced yogis out there, and those wishing to deepen their practice with more meditative styles of yoga. We don't offer flow or power classes because we believe in the importance of slowing down and working on more subtle levels. Workshops are offered throughout the year in a range of healing modalities from yoga for stress relief, to Ayurveda, bio-energy healing, healthy eating, transformational breathing and many more. We also have a shop selling local, fairtrade, organic and eco-friendly mats, gifts and yummy teas.

We are wheelchair accessible and welcome those with disabilities. There is also free parking behind the studio. We provide everything you need to get started - except for the commitment, that comes from you.
