It is my hope to provide guidance and support to all that find their way to my classes. It is my goal to create an inviting space during practice so that the wisdom and benefits of yoga can be accessible to all. Namaste.
Carole Logtenberg
Hatha Yoga Instructor
Yoga has been a part of my life from an early age. Introduced to breathing exercises and yoga postures by my mother, these early teachings became a lifelong foundation. In 2005, during a trip to India, I began to deepen my yoga practice more intentionally.
Since then, I have practiced and studied yoga on the Sunshine Coast and in Hawai‘i. I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training on the Big Island, where I studied vinyasa flow, meditation techniques, pranayama, and the history and philosophy of yoga. I am also a certified Chair Yoga instructor and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance.
My additional training includes yoga anatomy, yoga sequencing, and the anatomy of aging and movement, with a focus on arthritis and posture. For the past 10 years, I have been leading Hatha and Chair Yoga classes in Pender Harbour. I am passionate about bringing strength, ease, and a sense of wellbeing to the people of my community.

Class Descriptions
Hatha Yoga
This class guides students through a variety of Hatha Yoga postures. Stretch and relax tight muscles, focus on balance while transitioning from posture to posture, strengthen core, and improve concentration. This is a great class for beginners but can also be challenging for the experienced yogi.
Yoga Conditioning
This program blends traditional yoga asana with dynamic strength training. Featuring core exercises, hand weights and resistance band conditioning, as well as yoga stretching and balancing. These classes are perfect for yogis wanting to increase stamina, or for strength trainers wanting to enhance range of motion. Weights are optional for a more gentle but still effective work out.
Hatha Flow Yoga
This class incorporates Hatha postures and Sun Salutations to create a flow throughout class. The class begins with Pranayama and ends with Savasana - a deep relaxation. Yogis will build strength, increase flexibility and bring calm to the mind. Multiple variations for postures are provided so that beginners feel supported and experienced yogis feel challenged.
Chair Yoga
In this gentle class, yoga is done sitting on a chair and standing with a chair for support. Class begins with pranayama/breathing exercises and warm up stretches while seated on the chair. The practice progresses to standing modified variations of classical yoga poses. A cool down follows and the class ends with a few minutes in Seated Savasana.
