Philippa Syme Vancouver
Philippa has practiced Yoga for over 30 years. She was inspired to teach because Yoga positively impacted her own life. Her practice brings students into an awareness of Yoga for improved health on many levels. Yin Yoga with its quiet focus on deeper tissues is the Hatha style that resonates most for Philippa, who has 200-hour certification to teach Hatha Yoga, 50-hours certification in Yin Yoga (Bernie Clark/Diana Batts) and 35-hours certification in Chair Yoga (Annette Wertman). Her teaching is inspired by Max Strom, Paul Grilley and other recognized teachers. Philippa has taught Yoga at: Semperviva Studios, BC Immigrant Services, Vancouver Native Education Centre, Unitarian Church of Vancouver, Karma Yoga and privately. She is currently teaching a Gentle Hatha and Yin series. Philippa studied Art and Archaeology and has a Master’s degree in Canadian Studies. Interests include: choirs, writing, environmental activism, and bicycling. She has three children, three grandchildren and two adorable 12-year old felines
