Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy supports, balances, and empowers health and wellness holistically allowing the trained Yoga Therapist to adapt a multitude of practices to individual needs, body shapes, physical abilities, and western lifestyle. Yoga Therapy combines knowledge and wisdom of the ancient practices of Yoga with modern science.

Ayurvedic Wellness

Ayurveda means “The Science of Life”. Ayurveda and Yoga are sister sciences going to the Vedas. One of Ayurveda’s central ideas is that balance makes for a healthy body and mind.  Human imperfection is compassionately considered and Ayurveda offers many life-style practices that aim to bring balance back and prevent dis-ease from happening. 

Programs

Workshops are back at the Powell River Recreation Complex. More programs are coming in 2024. The future small venue allows for small group sessions (2 – 4 people) that can be customized to your needs and goals. Get inspired by existing programs or let me build one just for you.

Classes

“"I really wasn't sure what to expect but wanted a class that did not push me beyond my limits. The mindfulness and breathing practices were excellent and prepared us to be present with intention. Movements were varied and different from class to class. I liked closing with Kirtan Kriya as it brought more mindfulness towards the original intention. Regina's soft nature is so welcoming; she is willing to meet us where we are in our awareness and body."

– JB, Victoria

"I would recommend Regina. I feel anyone who takes her private sessions would benefit from her calm, thorough, thoughtful approach. I feel the most valuable thing is that Regina listens to her client, and then develops a specific program/therapy to suit their needs. And within that she is making adjustments and addressing concerns as neededs.”

– JDH, private client Victoria

"The workshop exceeded my expectations. I liked the atmosphere and set up of the room. The chosen music was beautiful. Concepts of balance and how it relates to the elements were very well explained in theory and practice. I found the the various aspects of Ayurveda that were talked about very interesting and found my questions were answered. Overall points about living a healthier and happier life were very useful. I would highly recommend any workshop with Regina."

– MBA, Victoria
