My name is Sunny Trim. I’ve been teaching yoga for 20 years. I also teach Yamuna Body Rolling. I own my own yoga studio here in Vancouver and I also have a retreat company, Yoga & Wine Holidays. I am also a certified WSET wine expert. 

Hatha Yoga: Classic yoga postures (asanas) that move with your breath to help you reduce stress and increase strength and flexibility. These classes are approximately 50% stretching poses and 50% strengthening and toning poses, all combined with proper breathing and grounding techniques. A flexible body is a youthful body!  This is our most popular class and they usually range from 45 to 60 minutes.

Hatha Yoga II: Hatha Yoga II will build on the postures from the Hatha Yoga classes. Beginner variations through to advanced variations will be given. Flows will be a little more challenging to help take your practice to the next level.

Fit Hit Yoga: This energetic yoga class will define and sculpt your abs and lower body. Create tight, toned shapely buns and thighs and a firm and strong core. You will burn fat, detoxify your system and acquire greater fitness and flexibility in both mind and in body.

Candlelight Hatha Yoga:  Our Candlelight Hatha Yoga classes are a gentler version of our traditional Hatha Yoga classes.  The lights are dimmed.  The room is filled with candles creating a very calming and relaxing atmosphere.  The class will focus on the traditional Hatha Yoga postures but will have an emphasis more on the relaxing and restorative poses helping you to melt away your long day.

Kick Start Yoga: Stretch, strengthen and breathe into a stress-less week!! An active Hatha Flow class for all levels. Classes will include “no-sweat” variations of movement/postures for beginners to advanced. Find your blissful tone for the week!!!

Chair Yoga:  Chair Yoga is for everybody!  This can be performed at home or at your desk anytime.  Chair Yoga is also great to do at your next business conference.  This type of Yoga helps to relieve neck and shoulder tension, back pain, tension headaches, etc., and is a great pick-me-up to help rejuvenate your mind and body.  This class can also be done in your office attire.

Detox Hatha Yoga: Let go of what is dragging you down with this fun twisty class.  Renew your energetic body by releasing tension and massaging your internal organs and digestive system.  Stimulate and detoxify your body as you twist it out and awaken what feels good, getting back to the best version of you. 

Yin Yang Yoga:  Our Yin Yang Yoga classes combine both slow and calming poses with our faster paced flow yoga, all in one class.  In Yin Yoga the poses are held for several minutes at a time in order to stretch the connective tissues around the joints.  Long held floor poses enhance energy distribution throughout the body.  This style of practice, done slowly and safely, nourishes the natural range of motion of the joints, which allows for more ease in the body.  The Yang portion of the class is faster paced and flowing.  Strength and stamina are all emphasized. This is a vigorous style of yoga that combines Power Yoga and strong Hatha Yoga flows. You’ll feel energized and peaceful after this class!

Yin or Restorative Yoga:  This slow paced class will leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed.  Props (bolsters, blankets, straps and blocks) will be used to support your body in long held soothing and reclining positions to stretch and relax the whole body.  A special emphasis will be made on chest opening, stretching the hips, and releasing tension from the neck and shoulders to counter-act the stress held in the body from the daily office grind. Unwind in a nurturing, comfortable and safe environment. Students of all ability and levels of fitness and flexibility are respected, encouraged and welcome to come and let go of their tension.  A perfect compliment to a more active practice, or for those that just want a slower, deeper, meditative pace.

Gentle Flow:  This class takes a gentler approach to the traditional Power Flow style, focusing on healing the body and mind through a connection with the breath and mindful movements to reduce tension and increase energy.  This is a practice of gentle flowing postures that will warm and open the body, encourage internal health and quiet the mind. Postures can be modified for any level. Suited for beginners and experienced  students.

Power Flow: In this fast paced flowing class, strength, flexibility and stamina are all emphasized. This is a vigorous style of yoga that combines Power Yoga and strong Hatha Yoga flows and postures. Be prepared to sweat!

Men’s Only Yoga:   Gentlemen, you don’t want to be in a class where the women all seem more proficient?  Why not begin with Men’s Only Yoga classes that  will familiarize you with some basic postures and give you confidence in this practice?  This yoga program includes traditional yoga poses, deep core work, breathing techniques as well as variations of all of the poses to suit your body.  People often think you have to be flexible already to start doing yoga.  This is not the case. With this class, anyone, no matter the age or how stiff, can begin to practice yoga. You will feel more flexible, relaxed and more in control of your body. Men’s Only Yoga is a great way for a man to start practicing yoga  to stay healthy, balanced and will help to prevent injuries.

Yogalates: The best of both Yoga and Pilates! We will combine the core strengthening, alignment and posture focus of Pilates mat work with the gentle stretches and release work of Yoga. Stretching and releasing what is tight is a pre-requisite to strengthening and toning what is weak. These practices are mutually compatible and when blended can flow together in a balanced and well rounded class. The stretching allows for “letting go” and the strengthening brings in core support for postural awareness. A combination of held/static poses and more dynamic/flowing movements will provide the body with a cross-training approach.
