I am a passionate teacher and student of yoga.
A native Vancouverite, I grew up competing in gymnastics, dance and cheerleading. As an adult, I practiced Crossfit and Bikram yoga until tearing my Achilles’ tendon. I then found the healing and spiritual benefits of vinyasa-based yoga. By the summer of 2014, I knew that I wanted to become a yoga teacher, and had the pleasure of learning from Kristen Campbell at YYoga in Vancouver.
When I am not practicing yoga, I teach English full-time at a high school in Vancouver. My love of literature also led me to complete my Masters in English with a specialization in Shakespearean drama. I believe that yoga and literature complement one another well; both explore a depth of emotion and create a sequence-through physical movement or the arrangement of words. To me, both are poetry and have the power to ignite or heal the soul. This is my way of sharing my love of movement and spreading positive vibes and inspiration!

Hi Coach Sandra Ma'am, is this class also for guys? I am a guy and am doing this after my mom told me about your supreme arm strength exercise! I could not manage chaturanga at all as my arms just give up almost instantly. My arms are very weak 😟 My mom does the handstand chaturanga and stays in the hover position for a long time.
Amazing yoga girl 👏💪🏼
