OUR MISSION
The UBC Yoga Club's mission is to provide affordable yoga to students and faculty at the University of British Columbia. On the busy campus of UBC, practicing yoga provides a way to calm the mind and body from the daily stresses of student life. Yoga is an incredible practice for supporting holistic health and inner peace - our goal is to share this experience with everyone!
The UBC Yoga Club is located on the unceded, traditional, ancestral, and occupied territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (Halkomelem) speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nation.
Hatha
A classical yoga style, combining breath and posture to facilitate relaxation and mindfulness. This is a style spends more time in active poses to build strength, increase flexibility, and to refine alignment with breathwork.
Pilates
A Yoga and Pilates mix go hand-in-hand, with a low-intensity but fun and spicy pilates workout, followed by a guided yoga stretch to cool the body down, ease the mind, and allow your body to reap the benefits of your pilates workout.
Yin-Yang
A slow, Taoist-philosophy-inspired practice that begins with relaxing longer held shapes (Yin), and builds to a more active Hatha sequence (Yang). Yin yoga works the joints and releases fascial tension before the muscles are warm. Then, Yang yoga helps to build strength and flexibility in the muscles. Paired together, these practices will help you release tension and feel invigorated for the week ahead.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
