YYOGA Kits Beach: Where Wellness Meets West Coast Living
Nestled just steps from the water and sandy shores of Kitsilano, YYOGA Kits Beach isn’t just a yoga studio—it’s an immersive wellness hub that channels the essence of the West Coast lifestyle. With ocean breezes, mountain views, and a vibrant community vibe, it’s no wonder this location has become the flagship studio of the YYOGA brand.
A Bit of History
YYOGA was founded in 2007 by Terry McBride, a Vancouver-based entrepreneur known for his work in the music industry and for envisioning wellness spaces as more than workout destinations. His mission? To create a community-centered experience where people could “connect inward, outward, and with others.” https://yyoga.ca/bc/our-story/
The concept took off, and Kits Beach became the symbolic heart of the movement.
YYOGA Kits quickly grew into the brand’s flagship studio, offering a blend of movement, meditation, and self-care that matched the active, mindful energy of Vancouver’s West Side.

Located at 1915 West 4th Avenue, just a short walk from Kits Beach, the studio features:
