FAQ

At Vancouver Corporate Yoga, we specialize in Yoga. We are locally owned and operated in Vancouver, BC.  Owner and fellow Yoga teacher, Sunny Trim, has been specializing in Corporate Yoga for over 20 years.  All of our fabulous teachers are hand picked by the owner through a rigorous screening process.  All of our teachers are fully certified and insured and are highly trained professionals. Our high standards ensure that we employ only the very BEST teachers in Vancouver. All of our teachers are trained in other modalities too (such as massage therapy, nutrition, Chinese medicine, dance, etc.) which relate either to Yoga or Pilates, giving you a more enriched and deeper practice.

We offer our classes to businesses and organizations throughout the Lower Mainland (Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey..).  We work very closely with all of our clients and teachers as a close knit community.  If a substitute teacher is needed for your class, you’ll often see the owner, Sunny, coming in to teach it just to stay connected to the company and the students.  Sorry, we do not offer classes outside of the Lower Mainland as this would not give us the closeness that we feel all of our clients and teachers truly deserve.

As well as offering onsite classes throughout the Lower Mainland, we also work in a lovely studio located inside Contenders Athletic Club located in the heart of the business district in downtown Vancouver (1055 Dunsmuir St).  Our studio is open to the public.  Please come and join us for a class any time.

It is very important to us that all of our teachers have completed a minimum of a 200 hour Teacher Training Course in their fields. Most of our teachers have 500+ hours of training.  We do not employ fitness trainers or those who have completed less than a 200 hour Teacher Training course.  And we do not hire teachers with limited experience.

At Vancouver Corporate Yoga, we will only bring you the very BEST and most dedicated Yoga and Pilates professionals. Please visit our Client Reviews page for a very extensive list of comments about our wonderful teachers.

Congratulations!  But we do recommend that you attend prenatal Yoga classes instead of our classes.  Some of our teachers are prenatal certified but not all of them.  We don’t want you to feel uncomfortable in a class that may be too much for your body at this precious time.

We believe that everybody should do yoga so we make our rates affordable for everyone.

Our favorite charity is Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary (http://greyhavenbirds.com/).  We donate to them throughout the year in cash and gifts to help all of the rescue parrots they care for.
