Alexa Mcewan was first drawn to yoga during a turbulent time in her life; she was looking to find more movement and to focus on herself. Since graduating from her first training in 2015 she has taught and continued her study of yoga. In addition she has been studying feldenkrais, functional anatomy, and the axis syllabus giving her a unique perspective. She offers classes that include breath, laughter and space for each student to be themselves; it is this connection that arises from the practice that she loves most.

Alix Rodrigues

Alix Rodrigues has been teaching yoga since 2000. She started Green Room Yoga (GRY) in 2004 by teaching out of her home. In 2008 when pregnant with her child, and with a wonderful and loyal group of students in tow and commitments from what she felt were truly some of the best teachers in the city, she opened GRY on Hastings, it's been a part of the neighbourhood ever since. The growth of Green Room Yoga and her daughter have paralleled each other nicely, creating equal measures of joy, laughter, harmony and a healthy dose of chaos. In the summer of 2020 Alix shifted over to just teaching classes and handed the reigns of the studio over to long-time teacher at GRY, Jennifer Clarke.
Alix also has an online organic nut business which helps her to fuel her passion for nourishing food, www.nuthut.ca

christine stoddard fell in love with yoga over 20 years ago: first as a complement to her creative performance practice, later as the balance to a stressful career in academia and the corporate world, and finally as the ground for a way of living more in tune with our inner knowing. christine’s approach to yoga is to build a healthy balance between strength and stability and integrate the sensing mind with the feeling body. Like a moving meditation, her classes cultivate more fluid movement, flexibility, core integrity, play and deep calm in a supportive space that honours each student’s unique presence. christine is a certified in Vijñāna yoga (Vijñāna International, 2019) classical, Ashtanga/Hatha yoga (Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, 2012), and Restorative Yoga (ThePath, 2013). christine is currently working towards her certification in co-active coaching with the Co-Active Training Institute, and Prenatal and Postnatal yoga with Mamata Yoga.

Delia Brett has practiced Hatha Yoga since 1998 and has been a certified yoga teacher since 2002. She is a professional contemporary dancer. She draws experience in martial arts and traditional dance to create a flow yoga class that is appropriate for all levels of practice, gentle yet challenging. Her classes emphasize core stability, structural integrity and the attuning the mind with breath.
As we practice yoga we create space, space within our bodies and within our minds. Cultivating grace requires less that we learn to wrap our legs over our heads, but more that we learn to recognize our essential wholeness and inhabit it.

Yoga practice has helped me stay embodied during the challenges of life.

I can absolutely say that my yoga practice has helped me become a better parent. I have been teaching weekly classes since 2006 and I am grateful to my students for studying with me all these years, some of whom I've had the honour of teaching since the beginning of my career. I am an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance.

Joni Cooke began her yogic studies in India in 1995 while studying Katak dance as part of her BFA program at SFU. It was very traditional yoga taught one on one with a hatha yoga master. Seeds were planted. She branched out to study zen for 25 years, which, although it didn’t include any asana practice, did delve deep into Buddhist principles and meditation.
Since completing her contemporary dance studies at SFU she became a registered Shiatsu massage therapist. Her dance, massage and meditation studies inform her yoga classes which are deep and strong and gentle with an emphasis on alignment
In the summer months she morphs into a market gardener and runs a CSA program off a one acre farm plot in Burnaby.

Katie Blecker I am a yoga teacher and artist with a particular interest in accessible and adaptive yoga. I especially love leading classes that utilize props and variations as tools for empowerment and connection on the mat. My speciality is in the more therapeutic-side of yoga and working with folks who experience pain, mobility issues, and anxiety (all things that I'm intimately familiar with in my own life), as well as anyone who is looking for a gentle approach to practice.
I have formally trained in alignment-based hatha-vinyasa, yin, yoga nidra, and trauma-informed yoga & mindfulness facilitation. As a life-long lover of the arts, I’m very passionate about creative expression and exploration. I was working professionally as a textile artist in the film + tv industry when I began teaching yoga, and am currently enjoying my time as an independent visual artist & illustrator.
