The Yoga Space is an airy, spacious, and well-equipped studio near the south side of the Cambie Street Bridge close to downtown Vancouver. The Olympic Village CanadaLine rapid transit stop is a short walk away. Bus #84 runs frequently along 4th/2nd and 6th Avenue, and stops right around the corner from the studio. We offer classes throughout the week and on weekends, starting at 6:30am and ending at 7:30pm.

The Yoga Space, registered under Louie Ettling's name, has been offering Iyengar yoga classes to Vancouver and the surrounding area since 1998. The instructors at this Vancouver Courier Stars of Vancouver award winning studio include Emma Cassidy, Lily Dos Remedios, Louie Ettling, Patricia Fernandes, Arezou Moeini, Deb Peake, Grant Richards, Corinne Skrobot, Alisen Stewart-Milne and Corrie Vorlaufer.

The Yoga Space has been the venue for national and international workshops, most often sponsored and organized by the Iyengar Yoga Association of B.C. On such occasions students and teachers have the opportunity to study with senior teachers from other regions/countries.

The Yoga Space teachers have all had a long and thorough training and are current members of B.K.S Iyengar Yoga Association of B.C. as well as the Iyengar Yoga Association of Canada. www.iyengaryogacanada.ca

The Yoga Space offers classes for students of all levels with a variety of different needs; from beginners to advanced practitioners. All are welcome. Classes have been offered to healthy beginner, seniors, children, teens, corporate groups, pregnant and post-natal women, special needs groups/individuals, people with back problems/MS, and for those who require gentle/restorative work. On occasion a series of early morning classes (this practice is called a Sadhana) is offered from 6:45am – 8am.

The majority of classes are for healthy students between 8 and 108. Three gentle classes are offered to accommodate students who need adapted poses. Class sizes vary. A beginners' class or special classes may be as small as having six people. Other ongoing active classes may accommodate thirty people comfortably.
