Private Trauma-Informed Yoga in Metro Vancouver
Yoga for people exhausted by pressure, performance, and exclusion.
I offer trauma-informed private yoga lessons, meditation, and contemplative practices to people experiencing burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, stress, or disconnection from mainstream wellness spaces. Sessions are available online and in-person in Port Coquitlam and across Metro Vancouver.

Meet Kendra
I’m an independent yoga instructor based out of Metro Vancouver. I work with activists, organizers, and caregivers experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or disconnection. I offer grounded, trauma-informed practices that support sustainable engagement and self-reclamation. I also train yoga teachers to deepen and decolonize their practice, so they can teach with more integrity, clarity, and care.
I have studied yoga for 20 years and completed over 1,000 hours of study in Non-Dual Tantric and Kashmiri Shaiva traditions while living in Tamil Nadu, India.
I’m Black, queer, neurodivergent, and a survivor of sexual violence. My relationship to yoga has never been about aesthetics, performance, or escaping my body. It has been about learning how to come home to myself in a world that profits off my disconnection. I have benefited so much from the practice, it only feels right to pass on the gifts I've received
I offer online classes and in-person sessions at my studio in Port Coquitlam (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm territory).
Private Yoga Lessons
Many modern yoga and fitness classes can feel performative, intimidating, or disconnected from the realities people are actually living with. Private yoga lessons offer a more grounded and personalized approach, with one-on-one support shaped around your pace, your body, your capacity, and your lived experience. These trauma-informed sessions are designed to help you reconnect with yourself without pressure to perform, keep up, or fit into mainstream wellness culture.
