Annette Bailey                                                                     is a Canadian Yoga teacher who has a genuine love for people and the practice of yoga.  Annette specializes in private lessons and students who have limitations.  She prescribes posture sequences for her student's specific needs, resulting in an individualized yoga experience.  Her passion for yoga and teaching began with strong roots in dance and creative movement in her home town of Toronto.  Struggling through adolescence with inflexibility and an uneasy mind, she turned to the benefits of yoga and meditation.  Practicing yoga ignited her inspiration to provide cohesive teachings to a wide range of students.  Annette's work enables her students to attain well-being and inner peace while struggling in a world full of stress and chaos.
 
Her experience, integrity, and holistic approach bring an all-encompassing and complete atmosphere to her classes.  Annette's teaching style ranges from traditional Hatha Yoga to Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Kripalu, pre-natal practices, yoga for seniors, and yoga for pain management.

 Her class sequencing and clear instruction make it possible for students of all levels and interests to find the joy in practicing yoga.  Annette teaches from her private Vancouver studio and also offers house visits.
