About
vancouveryoga.com
The
foundation of vancouveryoga.com can be traced to the yoga principles
of non-competition and letting go of the fruits of one’s actions. When I first created this site six years ago, I intended that it
be only for my classes. I made an instinctual decision put the
classes of friends who taught yoga on the site.
Some people thought I was crazy, advertising for my competition but it
felt so natural and right. If people cannot make it to my classes,
then at least they know the other options. Like most
instructors, I just felt in my soul that the more people that did yoga
in our city, the better.
Gradually the list of class schedules got bigger. Without any listings
in search engines, people from other cities started emailing in and
asking where they could do certain types of yoga and where they could
get organic food, and so on. The word spread organically, via chat rooms or links emailed from friends.
It became clear
that there was a demand for a portal that specifically dealt with the
flourishing Vancouver Yoga and Pilates scene. What I love most is that
at no point in time did I ever set out with the idea that I was going
to make a business out of the site, but the market definitely demanded
it. And it was those yogic ideals like love, non-competition and
letting go that made it happen!
Today vancouveryoga.com is about so much more than just Yoga.
