We’re thrilled to welcome Richelle to HSCA as she kicks off her Vinyasa Flow classes in January 2025! Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, Richelle’s inclusive Vinyasa Flow class combines breathwork, meditation, and flowing movements to help you feel both energized and at ease. With over a decade of experience on the mat, Richelle has completed her 200-hour teacher training at Yoga Santosha and a 30-hour certification in unified mindfulness coaching. And if she seems like a familiar face, you’ve probably seen her strolling around the neighbourhood with her golden retriever, Tucker! Join us in welcoming Richelle to HSCA and get ready to flow with her in the new year!
Let’s get to know Richelle… in five questions or less.
Q: What is your favourite part about HSCA or the Hillhurst Sunnyside community?
A: I love how family-friendly the HSCA is, with an on-site daycare, a weekly farmers’ market, and the lively Riley Park just across the street.
Q: What inspires you?
A: Hearing family and friends share their challenges with stress and body aches motivates me to show them how yoga can help. Seeing yoga’s positive impact on others inspires me to share its benefits with everyone.
Q: What does community mean to you?
A: To me, community means having a welcoming space to come together and connect. Working from home makes me crave that shared energy with others who love this neighbourhood as much as I do.
Q: What’s something that recently made you smile?
A: Getting a free sample of delicious cheese while I waited for my sandwich at Peasant Cheese. If you know, you know.
Q: Anything else you’d like to share?
A: As much as yoga and mindfulness has been there for me, so has journaling. It’s a way for me to process feelings and emotions (good and bad) and I actually kept every single one of my journals since I was a kid. Dating back to 2003.
