About Us

Woman teaches yoga class in front of students - Karma Teachers

Open to all.

We are currently teaching classes out of a cozy and quiet studio called Green Room Yoga located at 2645 E Hastings

Previously, all were welcome at Karma Teachers’ Gastown Yoga studio, located inside a beautiful heritage building in downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada offering free or by donation yoga seven days as week, as well as yoga teacher training with some of the communities best teachers and mentors. There are currently no public classes happening in Gastown.

Post-pandemic, our studio is currently closed for in-person classes. We offer online yoga classes at various times throughout the week with experienced teachers. We were undoubtedly one of the most unique yoga studios in Vancouver since our birthing in 2011.
