Everyone in the class absolutely ADORES Amari. She is such a great teacher, so knowledgeable, looking out for everyone and their individual needs/aches/pains. She is a brilliant person and teacher. WE LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she makes us work work work!!! We cannot say enough good things about her and her approach to pilates!

Dan's great. I just wish I could take two classes a week to work out some more of the stiffness!

Dan is a great teacher. You know something happens to you when you turn 50. You get stiffer every day. I need this class big time!

Classes with Shannon are great. She tailors the asanas to what we would like to work on. She's also very accommodating of different abilities, giving easier and more difficult variations for most poses. When she teaches us a new, more intermediate/advanced pose, she's very good at "warming up" the part of our body the new pose works on.

Dan is a fantastic yoga instructor and I enjoy going to his classes.

Yvonne Liu

Dan's classes are really quite good. He seems to really enjoy his Yoga practice and that comes through in how he leads the class...and explains all poses and alternate poses very well.

Over the last year of taking Yoga with your group...its been really interesting to see the different techniques used by all of the instructors. I really feel fortunate to have access to this class so close to my office...and the benefits from Yoga have been huge for me. Just learning to breath into a new variety of stretches...especially before my weekly club soccer training sessions or a weekend game is just one of the small benefits.

I have been enjoying the classes with Paulina and Trisha. I thought I would feel very tired after the class but I feel so refresh and energized.

I look forward to the classes every Tuesday and Thursday.

I wanted to let you know that I am new to Yoga, I tried Sept - Dec on Monday's and I am enjoying it immensely. I am thankful it is available at our work as life is so hectic after work that there is no 'me' time until this came here. I thank you for being willing to come here to Guildford to do this!!

I really like the classes with Sadie. I like that style of yoga and find it a good mix of "work" and relaxation.

Sunny: I just returned from my Yoga class conducted by Dan and just want to make sure I drop you a note to say how much I enjoy Dan's classes. His routine is always fresh and he takes the time to correct when he needs to. I always leave his class refresh and feeling that I had a good workout. Good work often goes unreported and I want to let you know that Dan does good work.

Hi Sunny,

I wanted to say that although I've been attending classes rather sporadically over the last 16 months (due to an ankle injury), I really love your studio. In particular, I've always enjoyed your power flow classes and Dan's Hatha classes.

Take care,
Erin Kampf

Hi Sunny,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the pilates classes I attend and especially want to say just how excellent Anita is as instructor. She is really good at working with people of different fitness levels. Mondays and Wednesdays, when I take the classes, have become my favourite days of the week!

Sanja Milosevic

Hi Sunny,

BTW, I really like Coco, our new yoga instructor. She challenges us without making it too difficult, and I've been learning a lot from her.

Just thought you would like to know.

Dear Sunny,

Thank you for providing the yoga class for our Health & Safety Conference.

It was nice meeting you. Everyone really enjoyed the class, and it was great that you made it fun and easy for them. You did an outstanding job. We should have had yoga classes every morning of the conference.

I hope we can do it again sometime!

Yours truly,

I would like to sign up for the next session. Unfortunately this will be my last session as I am retiring in February. Yoga has been a good change from my regular workouts and I'll continue either practicing on my own or attend a weekly class where I live. I've found Dan to be an exceptional instructor with good knowledge, the ability to do all the postures and a pleasant, easygoing personality. Continued success in your business.

Bill Dodds

I would like to let you know how I love the Pilates course with Anita and the Belly, Buns and Thighs class with Ana. I've been going to your yoga classes for one month now and my back pain is all gone. I feel very good. I sleep better and I have more energy.

Continue the good work!

I really love it.

Sylvie Croteau

It has been about 8 months since I started the yoga classes with Vancouver Corporate Yoga @ Metrotown and have noticed a remarkable change in my body & life.

Essentially, I decided it was time to do something about the pain in my left hip from (result of a roller blading injury from 5 years previous). I was experiencing a lot of joint & muscle pain, headaches, backaches, etc. In general, not a physically well person. As soon as I discovered that there would be Yoga classes in our newly built gym, I signed up. What did I have to lose??

Well, I no longer have back pain, headaches, or joint stiffness – almost got the kink out of my left hip (I'm sure I will see an end to that discomfort soon too). I certainly have more energy now and my body has toned up significantly leading me to lose a couple of dress sizes in the process. I've received many comments on how much better I look now. And when you're in your mid-Fifties, every little bit of help to look better and fit is a bonus to living a fuller life.

If you offered classes everyday – I'd be one of the first to sign up!!!

Sunny, Thank You for offering us your Yoga services. I hope I speak for all the other participants when I say, It's been Great and Please don't Stop!!!

Namaste!!

I just wanted to pass along how much I enjoy Shannon’s classes. She is Amazing.

Helena Santos

I am currently registered in the Pilates classes on Mondays, at the Scotia Tower and I really am enjoying it. The instructor, Anita, is excellent!

Jody-Ann Edman

I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with our yoga instructor; he’s my favourite. Dan always asks us how we are feeling, and what type of a yoga practice we’d like to have. He’s always patient with people who have little sense of balance, like me. And he has a good sense of humour.

Thanks,

Susan Brown

We look forward to Sandra’s classes. She’s always so enthusiastic – pushing us forward into deeper stances and staying longer in tough positions. I get a great workout with her. Thanks again.

William Yu

Sandra is a fabulous instructor, “Warrior Yoga Series for Weightloss”. I’ve attended a few other yoga classes in the past, but never really got into it because I didn’t understand the moves and positions or breathing. I really appreciated the time Sandra took to explain things! Sometimes starting off slow is the best way to go, especially for some of us ‘non-yogis”. The class was really good. I’m looking forward to next Friday and I can’t wait to see the pounds melt away- LOL.

Thank you.
Julie

Just wanted to say Tara Rocks! She was subbing a yoga class at the Scotia Tower and I really enjoyed the class. She really says the right things as we do the postures, and keeps things light too.

Nancy (Lauren) Smith

Today was the first session of the new class in the stuio with Alix. I wanted to express to you how much I enjoyed the class. Yes many of the moves were familiar from all the yoga classes I do, but she arranged them in a new routine and she added a variety of new moves. I really felt that I received a great all over body work out.

She was knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic which is always a plus. She provided lots of variations when doing the various moves which was extremely helpful if an individual found the regular position too difficult to do. She made you feel, that even if you had to do the modified version, that you were doing great. I thought she was wonderful.

All in all I loved it and will go back again.

Deborah Chysdale

I have to tell you that since my mastectomy last year, it's been a bit of a long road back to feeling like myself again. The yoga has been a huge part of why I feel stronger and healthier than ever. I don't know why I didn't start this years ago!

Trish A.

Kreg is a fantastic teacher. I always look forward to Thursdays because of his class. He's very patient and I like the fact that the class is becoming more challenging. Ana is also great! Her technique compliments my training sessions elsewhere, helping me stretch hip flexors and hamstrings that often get missed.

Once again, thanks for offering such a great program!

Alana McFarlane

I'm really enjoying the lunchtime classes - yoga and pilates with Hillary, Kreg and Hector - thanks so much for making them available AND affordable.

Michelle Hart

I have been attending lunch time Yoga three times a week for the last couple of months and I definitely feel a difference in my energy level as well as muscle flexibility. I really enjoy Sara and Dan as our instructors. Sara has been so pleasant to listen to and I enjoy the varied moves she teaches us. I especially enjoy the more challenging poses she introduced such as the side plank. Dan is amazing every class. I really enjoy the core strengthening poses he taught us and lately he introduced some breathing exercises as well. The differences in techniques with both these instructors really bring a good mix to theses classes. I hope to see these two instructors again in the next sessions.

Joanne Whiteman

I enjoy going on my lunch break on Tuesdays and Thursdays to Pilates classes in Royal Centre Mall. Hector is a wonderful teacher that is very knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell that he loves his job. Classes are always packed!

Sanya Asprovski

I am attending the Pilates and the 2 Yoga sessions and am really enjoying the convenience of being able to attend at lunch time. Your instructors are very nice and knowledgeable.

Jackie Speth

Dan is excellent by the way, and we LOVE our Monday lunchtime sessions!!!

Kate Newstead

Hector is the perfect balance of knowledgeable Pilates instructor and motivator who manages to keep us smiling and working hard week after week. His class is never boring and he challenges us to strengthen our bodies and take our Pilates' workout that little bit further every time. He has a wonderful sense of humour and is extremely popular with everyone in the class. We love him!!

Susan Pardy

Thank you for the wonderful classes and instructors.  I know that I feel invigorated, mentally and physically after each class and look anxiously forward to the next one.  I have tried yoga on my own, from cards and videos and in other class situations…but the atmosphere and the instruction and the variety your studio offers has been the best I have experienced by far.  I am eager to continue gaining knowledge and growing in my practice with your assistance.

Thanks again.
Brenda Schorn

Vancouver Corporate Yoga have set my staff on fire, and their early morning class is a tremendous way to start the day! The personal interest they displayed in the well being of my employees truly enhanced their experience. A fun, challenging atmosphere was created, with lots of encouragement, patience and guidance. Definitely the best way to combat stress, and re-energize yourself.

Captain Tyrone Green

I have been taking Yoga classes with Vancouver Corporate Yoga since November of last year; Mondays with Sunny and Wednesday's with Ariel. Both ladies are experienced Yoga instructors, and have great sense of humour which makes the classes very enjoyable. I have noticed a remarkable difference in my joints and muscle toning. I look forward to my Yoga classes - not just for exercise but because it's Fun.

Thanks

Bev Elchuk

As a graphic designer I work in a high stress deadline driven industry. For the last few years I have suffered back, neck, and shoulder problems as a result of working long hours in front of the computer. I have not seen my chiropractor since I started doing yoga with Sunny! Back problems are a distant memory! My stress level has also decreased enormously.

Thank you Sunny for all your help.

Fiona Gamiet
Graphic Designer

I can't begin to say how much I love attending your classes; you and your co-workers (Ariel and Tara) are great!

As a runner my legs were feeling tight and I was concerned it would affect my stride and cause injuries. But I still skimped on my stretching and my usual stretch routine was not very comprehensive. Once I started with Vancouver Corporate Yoga, I was hooked! The fact that the classes are at my workplace makes it easy for me to attend and fit into my day (it's "auto-scheduled" because of the lunch hour class time) - and because I am at the office, I have already arrived at class (no commute to a gym!). As for the workout, I am stretching places that I didn't know existed! No more hamstring woes for me - "pigeon" anyone?

Some unexpected bonuses though:

1. The classes are a wonderful break in the day and the week. I look forward to your classes as they not only work out  the body but refresh the mind and mood.

2. Call me crazy but I think all that spinal stretching has made me taller because my jeans are noticeably shorter. Sceptics may say that the dryer shrunk my jeans and that may be so but then why are they not tighter? Either way, I win!

Thanks so much Sunny for introducing the practice of yoga to me!

Marie Mark

Yoga for me has been the complete work-out. For years, I would rush off to the gym to get my work-out in, only to leave after an hour, not feeling very relaxed and often rushed.

With yoga, I'm not only getting a great work-out in, I am refreshed as well as relaxed at the end of it. Complete body and soul fitness. The increased flexibility has not hurt my golf game either.

John Bennett

I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the classes......I've been having a hard time finding a yoga teacher I like but Hillary is great!

Danika Midtdal

I’d like to thank you, Ariel and Hector for the wonderful classes that you all taught.  You’ve definitely made me a convert to Yoga and Pilates.

Annette Holloway

I just wanted to tell you how thrilled I am with whole pilates/yoga thing that we have going on. I love that I can drop in on whatever class on whatever day. Very convenient and it's just made such a change in my life.

Thanks so much for being there.

Ruth-Ann Spencer

A great way to spend a lunch hour. It is truly one of the best yoga classes I have attended, proving to be a challenging, yet enjoyable workout and taught by a patient, encouraging and knowledgeable instructor.

Alaina Buckingham
Library Technician

I enjoyed Brenda as our instructor. Her exercises flowed one into another and I liked her focus on the stretching. Thanks for offering these sessions to us. It's like the calm in the "eye of the storm" during our workday.

Karen Pope
Alderwoods Group

Having Sunny come to our workplace has made a world of difference. I didn’t realize how little I stretched in my daily life and how this led to cramping and stiffness in my neck and back, especially when I’m on the computer. I am more in touch with my posture and breath, and try not to hold my shoulders up when I am tense. 

I’ve always wanted to try yoga but have never gone out of my way to try it, and now I don’t have to! It is even nicer than I ever imagined it would be and a good workout too!

Chantal
Reservation Clerk,

Sunny’s classes are amazing and fun!  I have never taken yoga before until Corporate Yoga was offered to our building.  I cannot believe what a difference Yoga has made in my life.  I now feel more flexible and noticed that I have a much better posture!  Sunny is absolutely fantastic and I would definitely recommend her classes to everyone!

If you want a really good ab workout, Hector is definitely the one to give that to you!  Not only do his classes help tone and firm all parts of your body, his classes are a lot of fun.  Pilates with Hector has made a huge difference in my life and I feel great after each class.  I look forward to all his classes and recommend Pilates with Hector to everyone!

Anna Hurly

Here are my thoughts on my experience of the yoga classes at TD Tower so far.

The beneficial effects of the weekly yoga classes (sense of well-being, feeling relaxed, looking kindly and patiently upon my fellow human beings) last for 3-4 days!

After the first couple of classes, the muscles in my legs and arms were already appreciable firmer and stronger.

I am finding myself drawn more often to foods that are good for my body, and I appreciate how my body feels when I eat well.

Both Ariel and Brenda are excellent. I feel terrific!

Beth Regehr

Sunny teaches a 1 hr. class at noon. She is a terrific instructor – she’s very knowledgeable and is able to work with students at all levels in the same class! I highly recommend her yoga classes to others – what a great de-stressor in the middle of the day!

Lesley McIntosh
Sierra Systems

Just thought I would let you know that I think Hector is a knowledgeable instructor and his classes are very challenging.  I have been doing Pilates for over 3 years and our class is a very good work out for me.  Hector is versatile enough that he can teach at the beginner level and provides variations for the more experienced.

I thoroughly enjoy the class. Thank you for offering it.

Janet Rothwell

Just wanted to let you know that I am thoroughly enjoying the yoga classes!

First, it has really helped me with my back -  I used to constantly have back pains but since I have started yoga I feel so much better. It is easy to get out of bed!!!

Secondly, I feel less stressed and is giving me a sense of peace and appreciating my inner self.

Thank You

The little things really do make a difference. Sunny’s approach and attitude makes her a great yoga instructor! We here at the Vancouver Museum love Thursdays now.

The benefits of training with Sunny and her staff, for the past 1 1/2 year has been phenomenal.

I’ve been a personal trainer for 25 years. The improved stress reduction, flexibility and core strength, are wonderful, but the restorative value of yoga to my injured hip has been remarkable.

After an 80 ft fall, 25 years ago, which resulted in scoliosis of the spine, I am seeing my spine finally realigning itself. I feel and look great.

I highly recommend Sunny’s classes for everyone and I have started sending all of my clients to Sunny as well. It’s the perfect compliment to any fitness program or just on its own.

Yoga with Sunny has been the absolute best thing I have done for myself lately. After a car accident last year, nothing has made my back feel stronger and less painful than yoga.

After one class with Sunny I was hooked!

Tara Castley

Just wanted to let you know that I have definitely seen an improvement to my flexibility since joining your classes. I often experienced stiffness when I woke up in the morning and this has disappeared. I look forward to further improvement taking place. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

I have tried many other sports, such as swimming, biking, running, and I can honestly say that nothing has made me feel as good as yoga. It leaves you feeling stronger, more flexible, while calming your mind, leaving you feeling more relaxed. It is an overall workout for the body and the mind.

Thanks,

Ingrid Hanses

Yoga has been a surprising experience for me. Not only have I had chronic back problems due to 3 car accidents, but I have had stiffness in my ankles from previous injuries which has been compounded by taking up running. Since starting yoga, my ankles are no longer stiff in the mornings and I can feel a difference in my back and hips. I am happy to say that after years of monthly chiropractor appointments, I can finally see that there will be an end! Last but not least, what a surprise it was for me to find that not only is yoga great for stretching, but it is also an excellent toning workout that leaves me flushed and feeling every muscle in my body. Overall, it's been a fantastic experience.

Shelley Koehli
D Manning & Associates Inc.

Corporate Yoga (Sunny) has made me a Yoga addict! I truly believe that your Yoga "experience" is all in the instructor. I have found Sunny and all of her instructors to be fabulous and motivating. They really are advocates of " going at your own pace" and "there should be no pain in Yoga"...their classes are not intimidating at all... thus my new love for Yoga!

Melanie Macauley

Vancouver Corporate Yoga has allowed me to offer our tenants that bit extra for their employees, making my job of creating a good working environment that bit easier. I have only received rave reviews about Sunny's classes!

Thank You Sunny!

Sunny conducts very interesting classes. No 2 lesson is the same and it is never boring nor repetitive.

Daisy Yeo

I was involved in a car accident almost two years ago which has really hampered my ability to participate in physical activities. Sunny's yoga classes have been a great way to get me back on track! My back feels stronger, my movement is less restricted, I'm sleeping better, I've got more energy, and I think less about my pain... I just can't say enough great things about these classes! Yoga with Sunny is a wonderful way to increase flexibility, reduce stress, and feel better overall.

Thank You Sunny!

Hi Sunny,

Fantastic! That's how I feel after all my classes with Sunny and Ariel. I didn't know that yoga could be so enlightening.

Regarding Kreg's teaching abilities: A wonderful teacher and a pleasure to learn from for a gentle form of yoga.

Arlene Field

I would say that Kreg is very professional, is attentive to the students concerns or limitations, excellent at verbal queuing and overall one of the best instructors I've had.

I used to be an amateur athlete, competing for the Olympics in Gymnastics. I was very fit and flexible. However, life and age caught up to me and I was growing out of my clothes. Simply climbing up a flight of stairs was getting to be a chore. However, after 6 weeks of one hour a day, twice weekly sessions with Hillary and Craig of Sunny Trim's Vancouver Corporate Yoga, I was a new woman. I am getting control of my weight gain, stretching unused muscles (gently, of course) and feeling better about myself all over. I truly enjoyed the classes, and particularly the instructors. A great big THANK YOU.
