Hello, we're Live. Breathe. Grow.
We are a collective of yoga instructors who are passionate about yoga education, creating community, and providing safe and inclusive spaces for all.
We strive to live our yoga every day, above all else practicing ahimsa (nonharming) in thought, word, and deed.
OUR STORY
Live. Breathe. Grow. originated in 2010. At first it was a yoga clothing company, then transitioned to a brick and mortar yoga studio, and finally, due to the pandemic in 2020, moved to a hybrid model (online/in-person) yoga studio and academy.
LBG was established in the US by owner Nancy Buckle. In 2016, she moved her family back to her home in rural Northern Canada. There she established a brick and mortar yoga studio.
Nancy's passion has always been to create community, and so with the creation of a 200 Yoga Teacher Training, she began building a collective of yoga instructors. From these initial trainings came most of the faculty and community teachers of Live. Breathe. Grow.
Now our tiny rural town is a hotspot for yoga instruction and education! Since those early days several instructors who began their training elsewhere have joined our community, including Andrea Coombs, and Debbie Brown. They bring with them yoga expertise obtained through years of training and commitment to their yoga practice, on and off the mat.
In 2023 we are pleased to offer a wide variety of yoga trainings for every student and budget. These trainings are accessed through our Yoga Academy: 200 & 300 Hr Yoga Teacher Trainings; 100 Hr Therapeutic Yoga Training; and a full suite of 20 Hr Yoga Trainings.
As for yoga classes, our studio is a hub that provides opportunities for our teacher collective to offer yoga classes to the community. Classes are offered through Membership or Individual Series registration, and more information can be found on the Schedule page.
