A Sikh Gurdwara is a prepared environment for raising one's consciousness. Gurdwara literally means "Gate to the Guru" or "Gate to Wisdom". It is a special place and time, because all who come, come for a mutual purpose - to open themselves to the peace and wisdom of the Infinite Creator; to co-create through meditative action and though, an environment where inner growth can take place.
Meditation is the process of training the Mind to serve the Soul, to claim our true identity. With Meditation we develop the Royal Command of the Self to guide our lives, so we can experience joy, happiness, peace and bliss on a consistent basis, not just when something good happens to us.

With The most recent release of Premkas book and her detailed experience with the abuse she endured at the hands of Yogi Bhagan I would hope and pray that removing YB photos from the studio would indicate that Yoga West does not support OR condone such horrific behaviour from one human to another. This kundalini community is going through a extremely challenging time and while investigations are taking place the studio itself could be serving the people by representing yoga west a safe place to breath and move without glorifying YB. We must take action diligently and calming to provide a safe and

This is a good studio to check out if you are looking to learn very traditional, serious Kundalini yoga. Although it is not necessary to wear all white (or close to white as possible), loose clothing, that is what the teachers and some students wear to class, which is what is traditionally done in Kundalini yoga. The classes are prefaced as "Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan." Frequent use of mantras and intense breathing exercises in class. Breath of fire is common and sustained for moderate periods of time. I enjoyed the teacher's focus on bringing a positive outlook to this life we have

With an extensive background in Hatha and a stint in killer Birkram Yoga: I was blessed with finding Kundalini Yoga this passed summer at Sooke Yoga on Vancouver Island.
If you think you are fit and conditioned come and try a class, it is not for the faint of heart! Having said that: I sure got conditioned very quickly this summer. The benefits are seen right away: and I am no spring chicken! The best part is you are encouraged to listen and honor what is easy for your body. In fact in many classes the postures and exercises are done with your eyes closed: so no one but the instructor is watching

Finding the right style of yoga is like dating. You have to try various styles before you find the one that truly suits you. However, when I attended my first class in Yoga West which was actually a workshop by Jot Singh, it was love at first sight. I knew right away that Yoga West and Kundalini Yoga was for me.
The first 2 reviews kind of gives you an inkling of what to expect in Yoga West but there's more to that so I've reserved my 11th review for it.
When you look at a painting you can always sense what the artist is feeling. Same thing with a finished product like for example

I've been to a lot of yoga studios. While my favourite one is still the YYoga giant, there are a lot of great smaller ones in Vancouver. Yoga West is the first that's been review-worthy.
You're greeted with a storefront, and the studio room at the back is carpeted and looks like a normal room except that it's quite big (not as big as some of the huge studios though). There is a smaller meditation room (which I'd love to check out someday) and Yoga West specializes in a very specific type of yoga: Kundalini Yoga.
The "instructor" is more of a facilitator - he
