One Tribe Yoga & Doula

Ayurvedic based Yoga and Doula services in beautiful British Columbia. Like many of us, suffering brought me to yoga.

It was the vulnerability and honesty of the teacher that showed me that we are all in this together - that we all go through the heartaches, and the joys, and the boredom. After a few years of practicing I simply couldnt NOT teach others, because of how much I'd learned and fallen in love with in the practice. I have done teacher trainings in Anusara, Ashtanga and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy and have yet to cease wanting to keep learning more about this never ending field. When I teach, i think of what could help my students feel as good as their bodies were designed to feel...to remember how fantastic we're all meant to feel if we take care and pay attention. I like to remind the fellas I teach that they are quite possibly the most flexible guys in their entire family lineage, and to take that as a big pat on the back :) I like to encourage and motivate, and show people how remarkable they truly are.

One Tribe Yoga — 200hr Teacher Training
Starting this September | Weekends Only

You don’t have to want to teach yoga to take a YTT. In fact, many of the most meaningful transformations happen long before anyone ever steps to the front of the room.

Our 200-hour training is a chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and deepen your practice in a way regular classes simply can’t offer. You’ll learn the “why” behind the poses, explore the philosophy that supports a steady mind, and understand your body in a more empowered, intuitive way.

And doing it in community changes everything.
You grow alongside people who are asking similar questions, moving through similar challenges, and showing up with the same desire to become more grounded and conscious. The friendships, support, and accountability that come from a training like this often become the most memorable part.

If you’re craving clarity, confidence, or a reset in how you move through the world, this training is for you — whether you plan to teach or simply want to live your life with more presence.

Weekends only. In-person. Beginning September.
Your practice will deepen. Your perspective will shift. Your community will expand.

As we come into the last classes of study for this year, I’d like to summarize our last 10 weeks’ work here. Hopefully among all the sutras we learned up to this point, this distillation remains with you.

Yoga is uncovering and seeing yourself clearly.

According to the Yoga Sutras, yoga helps us see ourselves clearly by quieting the mind. When the mind is busy—planning, worrying, comparing—we look at life through a distorted lens. Patañjali says that yoga is the practice of stilling these mental movements. And when the mind settles, something beautiful happens: we begin to see our true nature beneath the noise.

The Sutras teach that clarity isn’t something we “achieve,” it’s something we uncover. With steady practice and gentle non-attachment, the mirror of the mind becomes clean. We stop confusing ourselves with our stress, our emotions, or our roles—and we reconnect with the quiet awareness beneath it all.
Think of your mind like a lake. When the water is rough, you can’t see into it. When it’s calm, everything becomes clear.
Yoga is the practice of calming those waters so you can finally see yourself as you really are.

It’s been a minute since I’ve introduced myself - if you’re new here, welcome! If you’ve been here for a while, here’s what’s new round here :

My name is Basha, and more often than not you’ll see me in leggings, a messy bun and a whole lot of enthusiastic yammering about yoga, our kids and their passions and what silly adventure we have planned next.

I love yoga - like really, really love yoga. I’ve been at it for a ridiculously long time and STILL find it exciting, thrilling, deep, wonderful and so personal. My practice, and teaching, have changed so much through the years, reflecting the dynamic nature of yoga - How it adapts to meet us where we are.

I’ve taught powerful, fast, crazy pretzel yoga, and baby mama gentle stretching, and a lot of the stuff in between. I’ve taught classes, workshops and trainings both here in Canada where I live, and Mexico, where I play. These courses help folks remember how to breathe, how to eat, how to teach and how to be.

Right now I’m pretty lit up by being in a supporting role. No main character vibes here. I’m about being present for the last few years that our kids are going to be kids, knowing full well everything is temporary and that soon enough I’ll be back teaching full time. For the above reason I only guide a few public classes a week, both at One Tribe and at Oxygen Nanaimo (killer Pilates).
I appreciate the patience the wonderful students I’ve met have had with me and enjoy seeing you all at the classes I offer.

The next session of classes beginning in the new year will be up for booking on my website www.yourtribeishere.com pretty soon, so look out for that. ALSO, the next yoga teacher training starts next September 2026. It’s time to sign up to get yourself mentally, physical and emotionally ready - it’s a weekend only format that will be beautiful and intense (testimonials words, not mine :) )

I’m here to chat, reminisce, question and ponder, so if you have yoga thoughts feel free to send them my way and we can connect :)

The last few weeks’ work summarized so simply ❤️Yoga Sutra 1.12 teaches us Abhyasa and Vairagya.

The mind becomes calm through steady practice (abhyasa) and letting go (vairagya). Practice builds focus and stability; letting go softens our grip on results and expectations.

Today we defined: What is Practice by leaning into sutra 1.13.

True practice is the consistent effort to stay enthusiastic and present. It’s not about intensity, but about showing up with awareness and curiosity again and again.

At One Tribe Yoga, we embody these sutras by returning to our mats with patience, presence, and openness—balancing effort with ease, and finding peace in the practice itself.

Gabbin around the water cooler is what these chicks do best! Meet the ladies of One Tribe Yoga.

You can often see them rustling around the back deck keeping it free of bugs, or nesting in the garden bed outside the studio front door. Either way they provide delicious eggs that you can get at the studio by request. They are free range as can be, happy, healthy and doing their own form of yoga while they balance on their roosting logs. Feel free to say hello and throw some vegetable garden scraps their way - be sure to stay for their thank you clucks!!

The yoga sutras reminds us that the mind is always moving — sometimes clear, sometimes clouded.
This weeks’ work studied these movements: truth and illusion, imagination and memory, the quiet of sleep.

Each wave of thought shapes how we see the world.
Yoga teaches us not to fight the waves, but to know them — to rest beneath them, in stillness, where the water is calm and truth is steady.

In practice and in daily life, we return again and again
to that quiet awareness — the witness behind every thought. This is yoga in motion, and in stillness.

At One Tribe Yoga this week we explored Yoga Sutra 1.3 — tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe avasthānam — when the mind is quiet, we rest in our true nature as the Seer. Last week, Sutra 1.2 showed us the discipline of doing, the practice of calming the fluctuations of the mind. Now, 1.3 invites us into being — the surrender, the witnessing, the resting in who we already are. Yoga is the marriage of both: action and surrender, effort and ease, doing and being.
