Yoga

With so many options in Lethbridge for Yoga, why should you choose 4 Elements? Our instructors really believe in “every body being a yoga body” our cozy and intimate classes provide a non-intimidating atmosphere avoiding a large class setting. Our studio is conveniently located on the ground floor for easy access to those with mobility issues. We truly want to help people be healthier by experiencing low-impact exercise and the benefit of stretching muscle and connective tissue. We use lots of supports, blankets, blocks, and pillows to ensure your comfort. If you’re ready to begin your Yoga journey, there’s no better place to start!

I tried two of their yoga classes, Restorative and Vinyasa, and they were amazing! I love that it is a judgement-free zone, anyone at any level of yoga experience is welcome, and because the class sizes are small you get extra support from the instructor if you would like it. The Vinyasa class was more challenging but modifications to poses were provided and it was a great workout. The Restorative class was AWESOME, it helped with my anxiety and left me feeling serene. The instructors were both open to feedback and I really appreciated their inclusiveness for all abilities, not just with yoga experience but for people with disabilities too. As someone with a physical disability it was great to be part of the conversation about what worked best for my body that day and not just to be left lying on my mat if there was something I couldn’t do. Thank you to all the instructors I have had so far, it has been wonderful! – Kylie B, Google Review
