“Yoga does not change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees”. BKS Iyengar
Westshore Metchosin Yoga continues the work started by Shirley Daventry-French in her home studio, just a few steps away from our current location. Shirley is a direct student of Mr. Iyengar. He stayed at her house on his visit to Victoria. Shirley was instrumental in bringing yoga to Metchosin, Victoria, and to Canada.
Westshore Metchosin Yoga is dedicated to Iyengar Yoga.
Our studio is located on an acre, limited by the ocean on Parry Bay, in my home. While we practice, it is not uncommon to see one of the local deer sitting on the hill, checking out what we do in the studio, or to see a hummingbird coming to feed at the wild currant bush just outside one of the windows. The studio blends with the outside environment: in winter, we listen to the creek running down towards the ocean, the wind moving through the branches, or the rain falling on the roof.
The studio can comfortably accommodate a dozen students. Our classes are small, allowing us to provide each student with the individual attention they need and deserve.
We are located on Duke Rd, right at the entrance of Metchosin, next to Colwood.
