We help Yukoners reconnect with their body, mind, and breath through simple exercises in mindfulness, movement, and meditation. Whether you are a experienced, or a beginner we can help guide you through practices that promote physical and mental health. Our programs and classes are intended to help people regrow the connections between their body and mind, and help them live a happy and healthy life.
Regrowth Yukon currently offers custom programs for individuals and groups. These programs are specialized in trauma informed yoga, yoga for youth, and postnatal yoga. These programs all have additional online components if needed.
We also offer weekly drop-in Vinyasa Yoga classes and private classes upon request. Private classes are available as one on one sessions or in small groups
The brain, body, and breath all work together to function properly. They are in constant communication with each other. When a person goes through traumatic events (real or perceived), the brain and body will begin to function in fear, stress, anxiety, etc. When this happens, the brain stress system will become completely dysregulated - which leads to inadequate sleep, poor nutrition, chronic emotional/mental stress. This can lead a person to feel horrible, use harmful substances or act in harmful ways for their body, mind, and relationships. We provide guidance and exercises to help people repair and reconnect those relationships.
I’m Gemma. I’m passionate about the science and spirit behind movement, meditation, and breathwork. Long before I truly found yoga, I could feel the healing that the individual practices hold. I’ve been an athlete her entire life; competing in track and field and sailing in her youth, and now, as an adult, she competes in various long distance trail and road running events. I’ve studied Agricultural Sciences at UBC and has since received two degrees; one in Global Resource Systems and another in Education. She is the mother of two beautiful beings who continue to be her greatest teachers in life. Her education and life experiences have given her a wide range of skills and knowledge to pursue her passion of building Regrowth Yukon.
