I am grateful to live, work, and play on the lands of the K’ómoks, Pentlatch, and Tla’amin peoples. I recognize and am deeply sorry for the devastating harms caused by colonization, both historically and to this day.

As a small way of giving back, all Butterfly Tree Yoga classes are free for people who are Indigenous to Turtle Island. (This is always true, not just on Truth & Reconciliation Day!)

For those who live or work on the southern tip of so-called Vancouver Island, check out Reciprocity Trust as another way of giving back:

Reciprocity is about making recognition of Indigenous land rights more meaningful

Join us for Vigorous Hatha! Wednesdays 5pm at The Gathering Place. Edit: Starting NEXT WEEK Sept 10.

Similar to a Vinyasa Flow, this a challenging class for intermediate practitioners who are familiar with most basic yoga postures, and who are seeking more intense challenge of strength, flexibility, and balance. Suitable for people who can get up and down from the floor quickly many times, and who do not currently have significant injuries or who have the knowledge to adapt their own practice as needed.

Consistent with my training in India, all classes include breath, meditation, and chanting as well as the movement portion of the class. All components of class are optional and non-religious.

Contact Erin@ButterflyTreeYoga.org or 778-587-8894 for more info and to RSVP. Thank you!

Our Offering to You

At Butterfly Tree Yoga, we are inspired to offer the peace, joy, wisdom, and healing effects of yoga to all beings. We offer yoga therapy, guided meditation and yoga nidra, restorative, yin, hatha, slow flow / mindful vinyasa, chair yoga, and a trauma-sensitive approach. We strive to make yoga accessible to all beings as a modality for healing and self-actualization, prioritizing serving those who face barriers elsewhere.

The approach of Butterfly Tree Yoga is to first develop a strong deep-rooted foundation to provide grounding, nourishment and stable support (Tree), and then from there it is possible to spread one's wings and fly, charting one's own path of transformation and freedom (Butterfly).

Butterfly Tree Yoga is rooted in the principles of loving kindness, respect, empathy, accessibility, and anti-oppression. We have a strong commitment to welcoming and serving all people with respect and acceptance, regardless of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, citizenship status, s*x, gender identity or expression, s*xual orientation, religion, personal beliefs, ability, age, health status, economic circumstance, family or marital status, body size or shape, or other personal characteristics or social labels. Butterfly Tree Yoga is an LGBTQIA+ Positive Space.
