Saturday!

Join Mi Kim on Saturday for a powerful group session to bring in the new season!

The Spring Equinox can signify a powerful event, a day where day and night are perfectly balanced before the light takes over. In this session, we will explore balance within our bodies with a brief movement sequence, founded in yoga traditions and conclude with a group hypnosis. This is a great opportunity and space for participants to align their inner world with outer actions, as well as performing a metaphorical Spring Cleaning of their minds. $50 or included in unlimited memberships.

Yoga doesn’t have one body type.

It doesn’t belong only to the flexible, the strong, or the confident.

At RVN Wellness, we believe all bodies are yoga bodies.

Whether you are brand new, returning after a long break, working with pain or limitations, feeling nervous, or just not sure if a yoga studio space is “for you,” you are welcome here.

What to expect at RVN:
- No mirrors
- Plenty of props
- Instructors who lead each class with their full heart 
- Small classes
- Options to challenge yourself or keep it soft and gentle
- A space that honours your body instead of pushing it to perform

Yoga doesn’t need to look a certain way. The most advanced practice is simply listening to your body and meeting it with compassion.

Come as you are. That is more than enough. And if you do want to challenge yourself with advanced asana, we will hold space for that too 😊

2 weeks, $44, unlimited classes, unlimited potential.

The number one question in my inbox right now…

“When does Summer Camp registration open?!?!”

I haven’t announced a date yet... and that’s intentional.

Our camps are something SO incredibly special, and every year we take time to reflect on what worked, what could be even better, and what new experiences we can bring to the kids. Next week’s Spring Break Adventure Camp is actually our testing ground for a few new ideas… and a few new team members as we explore expanding our summer programming.

One thing we do know for sure:

Choni’s Mundy Park Nature Therapy Camp is confirmed for July 13–17.

If you were at our Resilient Kids class yesterday, you got a little taste of her magic when she surprised us by co-facilitating the class. The kids had the BEST time.

We’ve also been thinking about our outings. Every year the kids ask for the big attractions: Aquarium, Science World, Capilano, etc. so we experimented with raising the price for spring break camp slightly to see if those bigger adventures are worth it.

But honestly… one of their all-time favourite outings is Lougheed Mall so I'm not sure if these bigger outings make sense. We’ve always tried to keep our adventures a mix of simple and special... things like bowling, Bloedel Conservatory, Fort Langley, and other local adventures where the kids can just explore and have fun together.

Right now there’s a lot happening behind the scenes as we shape this summer’s camps so they stay intentional, adventurous, and truly meaningful for the kids who come.

So while I wish I had a registration date to share today, there are still a few moving pieces to finalize first.

If you've got an idea for summer camp, I've got a question box up in my stories - drop your ideas there!

Volunteer call out:
Our camps have a strong reputation because of an incredible community of volunteers providing that extra care. If spending your summer adventuring with kids sounds fun, send me an email to dawn@rvnwellness.com.

Associate call out:
If you are a Registered Social Worker interested in running play therapy camps to build resilience with youth, email dawn@rvnwellness.com. See IG stories for more info on this unicorn position!

Ready to take your yoga practice onto the water?

Our Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga Teacher Training is a 16-hour Yoga Alliance Continuing Education approved training designed for yoga teachers who want to guide classes on the water and for paddlers or students who simply want a powerful experiential weekend of SUP yoga.

During this immersive training you’ll learn:
• paddleboard confidence and water safety
• how to adapt yoga postures for a floating surface
• creative sequencing for SUP yoga
• group management and safety considerations on the water
• how to design and demo-teach a SUP yoga class

We’ll spend one day on the lake (Sasamat) and one day on the ocean (Rocky Point) so you can learn how to adapt to different water conditions.

Important:
A 200-hour yoga teacher training is required if you plan to teach SUP yoga, but you are still welcome to attend this training for personal development and to deepen your practice.

*There may also be grant funding available for professional development.*

Port Moody, BC
Next training: May 21–24

Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible women who hold space, lead with heart, and uplift others every single day.

At RVN Wellness, I feel deeply grateful to run a female-owned small business that is powered by the wisdom, skill, and compassion of so many amazing women... counsellors, yoga teachers, healers, and practitioners who show up for our community with courage and care. We have also been supported by so many other community oriented small businesses, who are often run by women.

When women support women, beautiful things happen.

“Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.”

Thank you to every woman in this community who continues to rise and bring others with her.

This is what all business meetings should look like.

Cold plunges. Sauna. Fireside chats. A table full of snacks. And a group of wise women in the wellness world talking about big ideas and how we can support our communities better.

Huge thank you to for bringing us together. Days like this remind me how powerful it is when women in this field collaborate instead of compete.

and I are especially excited because some of the things we’ve been quietly dreaming up together are starting to take shape.

Summer Camps! - we’re just finalizing a few details and will be announcing the registration date later this week so families have a heads up before spots open before the end of this month.

Inner Child Retreat - the facility is officially booked! Now we’re designing the experience and weaving together our backgrounds as therapists to create something that bridges the clinical and the holistic in a really grounded way.

We’re also cooking up a few other collaborations that blend nature, nervous system healing, play, and community.

For those who don’t know Choni of the Woods yet... Choni is a Registered Clinical Counsellor whose work is deeply rooted in the land. She brings a beautiful earth-based approach to therapy, weaving nervous system work with nature connection, plant wisdom, and the kind of grounding practices that remind us we are part of the natural world, not separate from it.

In the RVN community she’s best known for her epic summer nature camps for kids (seriously legendary) and her work with adults around nervous system healing and medicine-making.

PS. our Resilient Kids workshop tomorrow is in for a treat because Choni will be co-facilitating with me.

Sorry friends, this kids workshop is sold out… but if you’d like to see Choni come back to offer more kids workshops throughout the year (not just her legendary nature camp), drop a comment below 👇

We’re opening a small number of volunteer support roles for our Spring Break and Summer Camps at RVN Wellness.

These positions are ideal for: 
• High school students (ages 12+)
• Post-secondary students
• Practicum students
• Anyone considering a future in education, counselling, social work, ECE, recreation, or child/youth work
• Humans who genuinely love working with kids

Our camps are intentionally small and relational. Extra support people allow us to create more one-on-one moments, foster autonomy, and help children build confidence and independence within a safe, attuned environment. Additional hands mean kids receive more connection, encouragement, and individualized support throughout the day.

Volunteer Camp Leaders will: 
• Support camp activities and transitions
• Engage with children in movement, mindfulness, games, and creative activities
• Gain hands-on experience in a trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware environment
• PLAY!

This is an unpaid volunteer role designed to provide real-world experience, mentorship, and meaningful involvement in a community-based setting as well as a studio membership (one month of unlimited yoga for every 12 hours of volunteer work) We’re also happy to support practicum documentation and confirm volunteer hours where applicable.

*please note that our volunteer opportunities do require a clear criminal record check as well as an interview to confirm suitability for our youth programs. 

If this feels aligned, please email dawn@rvnwellness.com to apply (no DMs, please).

So much gratitude for this community! 💕
