Oxygen Yoga and Fitness - Westbank

Hi my name is Josee (pronounced jo-zay) and I have a passion for sharing yoga with others. My personal yoga practice began in 2015 when I was in a car accident and had to be gentle with myself and the movements I could make. The gentleness of yoga and the inward focus and awareness on my breath allowed my body to do exactly what it needed in my healing journey. Since then I have really found a passion for sharing the teachings of yoga as an instructor and completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2018. I then completed my 300 hour teacher training in 2021 which has deepened my personal knowledge and has allowed me to bring more of the history and philosophy of yoga into my teaching. I have a background in psychology, and am a current Masts of Social Work student, and an advocate for mental health. With an in depth understanding of the connection between mind, body, and soul, I offer a relevant and realistic approach in my teaching, guiding and giving my students all the tools they need in order to deepen their own practice.

Hey! I'm Jamie. I've been practicing yoga since 2012, began teaching in 2016 and finished my 500 hour teacher training in 2019. Being introduced to yoga was the most beautiful gift I could have ever received. It has guided me into a deeper awareness of my soul and my truth. Yoga to me is this magical medicine that can guide us to where we need to be, and to bring in teachings of that which we need to learn, whether that is on or off the mat. My heart lies within the energetic and spiritual teachings of yoga but also, if you have taken my class, you'll probably know I also love getting creative with my sequencing and trying new things. Teaching in this way feels like an art and I love being able to find new ways to express and move and to share that in my class! I hope to see you on the mat!

Growing up I was very involved in sports & loved to move from a young age! This led to me getting my Degree in Kinesiology at UBC Okanagan, where I was simultaneously saving for my yoga training. I have been teaching yoga for 2.5 years now :) Yoga is my moving meditation. Every day I am grateful to wake up and share my passion for movement. My intention is to always provide a grounding practise for others, and to inspire a joyful & empowered life.

My name is Tayler and I am here to spread LIGHT! I teach yoga and fitness classes to empower others to connect with their body, their mind and their soul. To notice how good it feels to simply move and breathe. To practice balance on and off the mat. To be the best versions of themselves.

Exercise, health and wellness have always been important to me. In 2015, I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Kinetics at the UBC Okanagan. In January 2019, I travelled to Sri Lanka to complete my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. When not on the mat, you can find me hiking with my pup Kia, enjoying a coffee at a local shop or exploring all the Okanagan has to offer.

Howdy! My name is Stanley (he/him/his) and I am so stoked to be to share some movement with y'all and of course, get sweaty in the heat! I'm a recent graduate from UBCV with a B.Sc. specializing in Cell and Developmental Biology and the Naked Truth Yoga School; I love to blend my knowledge of physiology with my passion for informed and accessible movement! I have a background in competitive Highland Dance and found yoga and yoga fusion following my retirement from dance and have been in love ever since. As a lightning round about me: I am obsessed with Trader Joe's, Nathan's Stange Planet is my favourite webcomic, I eat a kiwi like an apple (I hope we can still be friends), I'm also a coffee connoisseur and oat milk enthusiast!
