Sian (she/her)
Hi, a little bit about me. I've been teaching yoga full time since 2007 first in Scotland where I grew up and lived for most of my life. For the last 9 years I've been living and teaching in Vancouver, British Columbia. I've been very fortunate to learn from many teachers both internationally and locally. My practice + teaching continues to evolve as I continue to learn. When I teach, I aim to create a welcoming space where we can connect, move, breathe and learn together.
I offer you a practice rooted in ancient yoga traditions that is sustainable and will support you through life not just for the next few months. I teach using invitational language as we practice together. I want you to feel strong and resilient and develop some practices that might help with the challenges of modern life.
If you have questions please ask me.

Over the last several years I have dived into the world of natural movement and biomechanics.
