OUR EVENTS
Our events are so much fun. We like to host workshops that develop your skills on your mat, and in your life. We sometimes host parties that are sponsored by our favourite Sheringhams or Driftwood, and we also host potlucks that will remind you how good community and food is. You must join us!
Join Erin every Friday night for 4 weeks for Goddess Flow; a fusion of yoga, circularized sensual movement and dance created for women. During this 4 week Journey you will learn about 7 Goddesses, stretch, tone, empower, release, dance and restore your Divine Feminine Body. These gatherings awaken your SoulBody’s Wisdom, which and over time will lead you to uncover how YOUR body naturally desires to move. Be prepared to have fun, sweat, soul dive and connect with an Amazing Tribe of Women.
Not sure it’s the right fit for you and would love to try it out first? Come in on January 11th to try out this amazing 90 minute class – regular class passes apply.
New year, new opportunities, new you! Join expert anatomy junkie and Kinesiologist Kaitlin Armstrong and teacher of teachers Darci Nyal for a 2.5 hour workshop that balances the strength we are all working towards in our classes, and the subtlety of a softer, more intimate experience. In this workshop, we will spend half of the class working on the bio-intelligence of the body, aka, how to get your muscles firing and training your brain to remember these key actions. The other half of the class will be incorporating these lessons, slowing down and taking the practice deeply inward. You might not be able to walk properly after you wake up the next day, but the lessons you learn will radically change the way you see your body and your practice, giving you the opportunity to gracefully practice from a different light.
After 10 years of being with Modo, our community in Victoria is branching off as a local and independent studio, called Yoga Lab Victoria. We’re connected to Westshore through the roots. We offer familiar and grounding yoga sequences in a heated room. We celebrate the uniqueness of each studio, and have customized to meet the needs of each community. Both carrying forward our shared values to ensure you feel at home at both! We’re celebrating this transition by offering free classes to all new students in both Westshore and Victoria during the week of March 2-8.
Think of this challenge as your opportunity to determine what your own Personal Best is. No you don’t have to do all the classes, but we do want you to spend time focusing on you… It’s only 14 days, so it’s absolutely doable!

Sign up at the front desk today and get not just the opportunity to use the sticker board (stickers… *%$!!!), but get free passes to both the ABC workshop and Yogassage class on the last 2 days of the challenge.

Join Alicia Onifrichuk and Emily Albert for a 2 hour workshop that breaks down functional movement within a set of like yoga asanas (postures) along with a detailed focus on the ‘flow’ options you sometimes hear in class. You will work hard during this workshop. You will absolutely laugh… probably a lot. And you will walk away with a stronger understanding of how alignment works within your body.

Join Alicia and Darci for an extraordinary afternoon, hosted at Bilston Creek Lavender Farms, located along the ocean in Metchosin. Set to the most beautiful background, fresh lavender drying on the 20’ walls nestled into a gorgeous barn made from reclaimed wood, hanging chandeliers, and live edge tables – your heart will be transported back in time to a place where life was a little more easeful and peaceful. During this half day retreat, students can look forward to an opportunity to connect with new and old friends, enjoy a delicious lunch made with care by Justine and Theresa from Bread and Butter Catering, along with the exploration of a few creative writing exercises, and a deeper more restorative, intimate yoga practice. Because this is a more introspective event, there will be no alcohol served and no group activities other than arrival/departure times and lunch so rest assured, if you are an introvert, this event is for you. As always, Darci and Alicia have a few things up their sleeves in terms of music, gifts and just wrapping the overall experience up in an elegant and mindful way. You will leave feeling grounded with a sense of vibrancy as you wake up to your life in the most authentic way.
IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that this is a Lavender farm, so if you have allergies to natural lavender, this might not be the event for you.
“As a person with a very sensitive pallet, I often arrive to venues like this and my nose is running like a tap. I found it very refreshing that the natural use of lavender didn’t bother my nose at all. In fact, the smell was so calming that I didn’t want to leave!”
– Darci Nyal
