Studio in Details
Overview
Green Room Yoga has been serving the Hastings Sunrise area of East Vancouver since 2008. The studio describes itself as an intimate setting for yoga, movement, workshops, and meditation. All classes are 75 minutes long and are offered both in-person and live-streamed via Zoom. The studio acknowledges that it operates on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Squamish, Stó:lō, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations.
Classes and Services
The foundation of all classes at Green Room is Hatha Yoga, which the studio defines broadly to include power yoga, restorative yoga, slow flow, and vinyasa. Each class incorporates meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and asanas to build flexibility, stability, and strength. Specific class offerings include Bhakti Flow, which blends devotion with flowing postures and mantra; Hatha Flow, which emphasizes creative transitions; Vinyasa, a fluid, breath-linked practice; Yin Yoga with extended holds; Restorative Yoga using props; Qi Gong for energy cultivation; Yoga for Fascial Health; and a yoga-based HIIT fusion called Yoga Shred, taught by a certified instructor. The schedule varies by day, with classes such as Vinyasa Flow, Yoga for Fascial Health, and Core Awake Hatha Flow listed on the website. Workshops and series are also offered periodically to deepen practice.
Visitor Experience
Reviews consistently describe Green Room Yoga as warm, welcoming, and unpretentious. Teachers are noted for being knowledgeable, attentive, and skilled at accommodating different levels. The studio is small and simple but well equipped with props including sandbags and dowels. Some reviewers mention that classes can feel crowded when more than eight students attend, requiring modifications to avoid contact. The atmosphere is described as authentic, real, and community-oriented. The room itself is not green, a fact that one reviewer humorously notes. Pricing is transparent: single classes are $23 plus tax, with class passes and unlimited subscriptions available. New visitors can receive 10% off any pass by joining the mailing list.
