Bodhi Tree Yoga

So, we promised big news and big news we shall deliver! To kick off springtime at Bodhi we will be offering 5 dollar (or two credit) classes starting April 4th and running to 12th!! This is the perfect chance to sample our classes and check out the studio to get you in the perfect spring mood! We are very excited to pack the classes and see all your smiling faces!

Along with that, the grand finale of our meet the teachers week! The one, the only, our yoga therapy specialist, our studio owner and an all around wonderful and kind person! Hope you enjoyed this little series as much as I did! Meet Sarah Garden!

My work as a yoga therapist and chronic pain specialist has taken me across the globe, leading teacher trainings and helping people understand the science of their own discomfort. But the thread that connects it all is a deep love for our home - often found on a hiking trail, a stand-up paddleboard, or at our cottage in the Qu’Appelle Valley.

While I’ve taught on international stages, the best view is still from my own backyard. My greatest joy is being surrounded by my favorite people, guiding our community away from pain and back to the activities they love. Whether in a clinical workshop or simply sharing the valley air, I’m here to help your body feel as good and restorative as a weekend at the lake.

Well, I was doing so so well timing these teacher greetings with free classes and I finally messed up. Serena's class was supposed to be a freebie today but I got my days messed up (I blame the Goo Goo Dolls, so you can too!) So apologies for that but still...meet Serena and come to her classes!!

My name is Serena, and I completed my Teacher Training at Bodhi Tree in 2022. I am also a vocalist and gardener. As a child I loved moving, and my parents had a hard time containing my energy! Recovering from a major injury several years ago made me even more passionate about learning how to continue living an embodied life. My classes often include a strong emphasis on awareness and nervous system regulation. I try to cultivate a spacious and inviting environment, where students can tune in to their own body’s needs with curiosity. I currently teach Relax & Renew – it is a lovely Friday morning retreat, which is accessible to nearly every body, and I'd love to have you join us!

I mentioned our Bodhi Therapy programs at Bodhi Tree yesterday. This program has helped countess people since it started and continues to do so and remains very popular. The backs/yoga therapy program is a registered class (so sorry no free class tomorrow, still a couple spots left in hips and hams tonight though if you want to swing by!!) and can be registered for by emailing bodhibacks@gmail.com. It is a very unique class and the only one of it's kind offered in the province.

I'm Nicole! In my spare time, you can usually find me spending time with my husband and 2 girls. Much of our favourite time together is spent outdoors - staying active and exploring nature. Travel is another passion! I love experiencing different places and making memories that come with it! I have the privilege of co-teaching the yoga therapy class. What makes this class so meaningful to me is how it is unique to each person! Each person's journey is different and being able to support each individual to meet their personal needs is very rewarding.

Part of what makes Bodhi Tree special and unique among yoga studios is our therapeutic yoga classes. Of course known for the Bodhi Backs/Yoga therapy programs, but we also offer therapeutic drop in classes like Hips and Hamstrings and Bodhi Alignment and Movement. Hips feeling sore? Hamstrings feeling tight? Of course they are! Well come on down to the studio Wednesday at 5:45 for a FREE Hips and Hamstrings class with Kendra Kembel!!

I have been practicing yoga since my early twenties - which now feels like a long time ago - and have been teaching for the last fourteen years. Yoga is one part of a vibrant healing arts and movement practice that I have nurtured here on Treaty 4 since 2004. In my yoga classes, I tune into the needs of the group, cultivating intuitive flow with intentional strength while also honouring the energy of the space. I enjoy teaching yin, flow and restorative yoga and especially enjoy curating small group offerings where I weave in elements of Reiki, reflexology, aromatherapy, and somatic experiencing to support students in deepening self-awareness and cultivating whole-body wellness.

Happy Sunday Bodhi friends! Ready for some fun times and funky tunes...of course you are! Come join Loa for some Slow Bodhi Flow for FREE Monday at 5:45. Doesn't get much better than this!

Hi everyone! My name is Loa. I am an RYT-200 certified yoga teacher with a lifelong passion for yoga-thanks to my parents!
In my 3 years at Bodhi Tree I have aimed to bring my wealth of experience and joy to my Vinyasa flow classes, as well as incredibly funky tunes!
I like to balance challenging and groovy sequences with moments of relaxation, ensuring that everyone feels at home and safe in their bodies throughout their whole practice as well as when they leave my class.
I believe that a healthy relationship with movement is essential for a balanced life. I would love to have you join me on the mat to stretch, strengthen, and nurture your body and spirit.

On today's episode of Bodhi Meet The Teachers we have our amazing Yoga therapist Erica Gress! In need of some some self care and Bodhi healing? Come on down and treat yourself to a FREE Bodhi Alignment and Movement class Sunday at 10:30!

Hello! I started my yoga journey in earnest in 2005 when I heard about a little studio called the Yoga Den. I came for the yoga, I stayed for the community, laughs and friendships that were cultivated through Colin and Sarah and what soon became Bodhi Tree Yoga.
I have been teaching here since completing my teacher training in 2010. I have a passion for Yoga Therapy and helping people feel better in their own bodies. I teach both within the Yoga Therapy Program at the studio and a drop-in class where we dive into habits and patterns built into the body over time and how we might start to adjust to feel more ease and confidence in our movements through life.
Outside of yoga, I am an optometric assistant at a local optometrist and a busy mom of three boys. When I find a few minutes I enjoy sipping tea, getting lost in a good book and going for quiet walks.

Spring has arrived at Bodhi Tree and with it comes another FREE class on Saturday morning! Swing by the studio tonight for a free class at 5:45 and pay us a another visit tomorrow to flow with Michelle!

Michelle grew up in a small town in Newfoundland and has always felt connected to the outdoors and an active lifestyle. While spending a decade living in Whistler and Vancouver, she first fell in love with flow yoga and the sense of strength, presence, and community it created.
While on maternity leave in 2016, Michelle completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Bodhi Tree and has been teaching within the community ever since. Her classes focus on mindful movement and breath, offering a slow-flow, full-body practice where students are encouraged to move at their own pace and listen to what their bodies need.
Outside the studio, Michelle is a full-time photographer specializing in maternity and newborn photography. She is also an ambassador for Western Cycle and leads weekly singletrack bike rides from spring through fall. In the winter months, you’ll often find her, her partner and her son, fat biking the snowy trails around Regina.
Michelle currently teaches Saturday morning's Bodhi 1–2 Flow and strives to create classes that feel welcoming, grounding, and accessible for every body.

What to do on the first day of spring? How bout a FREE yoga class at Bodhi Tree with Danielle?! Come on down to Danielle's Bodhi 1-2 class on Friday at 5:45 and kick the nice weather off in style!

Hello, yoga peeps! I’m Danielle Desjardins, and I’ve been a proud part of the Bodhi Tree family for 11 years. By day, I’m an elementary teacher, specializing in early childhood and now focusing on Phys Ed and Learning Support. I’ve spent my life learning how the body moves and how we all learn differently. Whether you are just starting your journey in Bodhi 1 or looking to test your limits in Bodhi 1-2, my goal is to make yoga accessible and rewarding for every body. Off the mat, I’m a busy wife and mom, currently preparing for a big milestone: my son’s high school graduation this June!

Good morning all you Bodhimaniacs! FREE class alert! Our amazing Nikki Neu's Bodhi 1 Thursday at 10AM. Perfect class for a beginner wanting to try out the studio or anyone wanting a morning dose of yoga to get your day started off right!

I first stepped onto a yoga mat in 2011, looking for a quiet space to breathe and slow down. What started as a simple way to find calm quickly became a transformative part of my life, something I turned to not only for movement, but for clarity, balance, and connection. By 2017, I knew I wanted to share this practice with others, creating a space where people could come as they are and feel supported in their practice.
I’ve had the privilege of taking different trainings over the years, some of the most memorable being Hatha and Vinyasa with Lori Lee at Yoga Haven in Regina, SK, and Yin Yoga with Bernie Clarke in Vancouver, BC. In my classes, I focus on mindfulness, intentional movement, and breathwork to help you feel grounded, connected, and rejuvenated, both on and off the mat.
You can find me teaching Bodhi 1 on Thursday mornings at 10am. When I’m not teaching, I love being a student myself, continuing to learn and grow through my own practice. Outside the studio, you’ll often find me spending time in nature with my dog, listening to music, and connecting with friends, both old and new.
Yoga has been such a meaningful part of my life, and I’m so grateful to be able to share it with you. I look forward to seeing you on the mat.
