Send a loved one to one of our special classes offered at the end of November and early December... space is limited! These classes were added to give people the gift of peace and relaxation. Om Shanti.  Sign up HERE.

Shannon Potter cas been making mala bracelets and necklaces that are the perfect compliment to a meditation practice. Malas are powerful and symbolic. Touching each bead as you say a mantra helps you keep track of how many times you've repeated the mantra. Choose one that speaks to you or have Shannon help you find one.

Our Pura Vida Online membership can be accessed from your own home. We offer recorded classes, both voice and video, as well as meditations. This is the perfect gift for those who are unable to attend classes at the studio.

We have a variety of yoga props to support your practcie. Our beautiful bolsters and yoga blankets are an incredible addition to a home practice. We have a variety of shapes, sizes and textures!

Suzanne Babineau is a local potter who has made us the most beautiful handmade mugs with our Pura Vida colours and leaf. These are the perfect 'favourite mug' for a warm cup of tea!

A candle can add warmth to any space, not to mention what a scent can do for your senses! We have a few different brands in our boutique...these make the perfect gifts!

A good yoga class can bring us JOY! We have class passes to suit all lifestyles. A gift card can easily be purchased online (HERE) and can be used on any of our class passes.

'The Merry Life' bath bombs made by Laura are pure JOY! They are colourful, smell incredible, fizz in the water, and are made with all natural ingredients... leaving your skin silky smooth after a relaxing soak in the tub!

Join Kathryn for an afternoon of attention to body and breath, with the support of props set up for you to use. Take time to give your body and mind the true gift of relaxation before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. This 1hr and 45 min class will leave you feeling rested and rejuvinated! 

Yin is a practice of undoing; of long-held, deeply relaxing “stretching” poses that open and energize the “meridians,” or energy pathways of the body, restoring youthful joint mobility as you quietly activate and gather your chi, your prana—your life force.

Our first one was FULL on Nov 7th...reserve your spot! 
Investment $32 plus tax

Class will be held in the heated studio at a warm temperature. Only 13 spaces available Reserve your spot HERE 

We have launched Pura Vida Online to to give you the option to practice at home if you are unable to come in for a class, or in the event we have to close our doors temporarily due to COVID-19. Our intent was to create a community feel as an extension of our studio space. You will see familiar faces from our studio schedule, and also a few guests that are a part of our Pura Vida family! We only wish to grow the content on our online library, and hope you enjoy the variety and convenienve of Pura Vida Online... only $28 for 30 days... it's easy, sign up HERE!

As a continued reminder of our new “reality” with the COVID protocol, we really appreciate your cooperation and understanding of the following guidelines;

1. Studio doors will only be open 20 minute before classes and will close 20 minutes after classes as we’ve had to modify cleaning procedures. This time limit also allows us to ensure that all cleaning procedures have been respected, and the class before has had time to leave.
2. When leaving the yoga studio after your class, please allow clients closets to the doors to exit first to help us keep the minimum 2 meter distancing requirement.
3. There is a NEW 6 hour time limit to sign out on the Schedulehouse App, that will go into effect as of September 1st.
4. The No-Show fee ($15 plus taxes) will remain as we’ve been running our business with a very limited revenue since class attendance has been cut in half due to COVID Protocol and are still recuperating from the losses incurred by the closure.
5. Our new Pura Vida Online Option will also be set up by the 14th of September. This new service offered to our auto-renew members and yearly members for free and to all other members at the cost 25$/monthly. This site will offer a variety of classes, meditations, short series offered by our teachers and some guest teachers as well.

We are offering a FULL schedule all summer long! A regular yoga practice in the perfect compliment to any summer activity, sport or even yard work! Stay hydrated and continue with a sweaty practice in our heated studio... or enjoy our non-heated room for those warmer summer days. Because space is limited, you must sign out at least 2 hours before class time or our system will take a pass from your account or charge you $15 plus tax. We really want to keep our community thriving this summer, and that means filling classes to our 'new' capacity. We just can't see empty spaces in class when we have a waiting list. Thank you for understanding. 

Namaste.

One week ago today we opened back up after being closed for 80 days. Thank you to everyone who has come in to take class, visited our boutique...or just came in to say hello. We missed you all! Our exchangers are doing an amazing job at keeping our space clean, and our teachers are so thrilled to be back in the studio. What an incredible team we have. 

A friendly reminder to please sign yourself out of class if you can't make it, so you give someone else the chance to come.We are also no longer able to lend blocks and props out to our guests, and have recently made another large order to accommodate the demand for purchases. Stay tuned for the arrival.

Pura Vida Yoga continues to be a sanctuary for us all to enjoy... we grow stronger together.

Our opening date is now scheduled for June 5th. We have had 2 false hopes, and so now we will wait again to hear from the Province. Everyone who was scheduled on the weekend, has now been moved to the following weekend. After measuring the rooms again, we were able to add another space to both rooms! You are able to sign up for classes up to 7 days in advance for now...you may notice we added 2 classes for NEXT Friday (June 5th).

Our LIVE classes for this week are posted in our FB group - Pura VIda Community Gathering

A BIG thank you to Nicole Belliveau for sharing this beautiful practice with us, all the way from Lord Howe Island in Australia! Be sure to view her introduction clip first...she is from DIeppe. 
We have made a choice to see all the positives that have been handed to us through this difficult time. In compliment to our physical space, Pura VIda Yoga is looking forward to being online through our very own website. We can't wait to expand our teaching community, offering diverse content, to be accessed at your home, cottage, or on the road!

We are busy preparing to open! There is no firm date as you know, however Pura VIda Yoga fits into phase 3 of New Brunswick's plan to reopen, and we are hopeful that everything is on track!

We want to BEST prepare our valued members for this date. There are a few things we wish for you to know in advance. Please read the following steps that we are taking so that we are in suit with the guidelines laid out by the Province of New Brunswick.

1. Pura Vida Yoga Dieppe will not be renting mats, towels, water jars etc. Please be prepared with your own props for class. We can help you with this if you need to purchase them.

2. We will be operating at half capacity for all classes, and will no longer be accepting drop-ins. You must sign up for class to reserve your spot. If you don't show up, you are taking a spot from someone else and therefore we will be introducing a fee for no shows. Please take time to sign out if you can't make class, the NEW limit will be 2 hrs before class time.

3. There will be a staggered flow of traffic in and out of the studio, and classes will not run back to back. This will ensure for proper social distancing before and after classes.

4. Pura VIda Yoga will be making our community aware of all of the measures we are taking to make our space SAFE for us to enjoy! This will be coming to you in the next few weeks prior to opening.

5. We realize that not all of you will be able to come in to practice and we want you to know that this time has given us the 'gift' to re-evaluate our business. As we open our doors, we will be transitioning from the temporary space we shared on Facebook to move to a new platform accessed through our website. Pura Vida Yoga will be accessible from your home, or there for you when you travel!

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. To all of our auto-renew and unlimited pass holders, a BIG thank you for your support during this time. Once we have an opening date, and based on a few different options, we give our full attention to your memberships.

You can trust that we are doing all that we can to ensure the same 'Pura Vida' experience!


Nous sommes en mode préparation pour la réouverture de nos espaces dans les prochaines semaines. Aucune date officielle pour la phase 3 est prévue mais entre temps, voici quelques changements qui seront mis en place dès notre ouverture. Autres vont certainement suivre.

1. Aucune location de tapis, serviette, tasse d’eau, etc seront permis. Toutes articles requis seront disponible pour achat à la boutique.

2. Nos classes seront offertes à demie capacité et avec un horaire modifié afin d’assurer la distanciation sociale requise entre les classes. Divers mesures seront prises à l’intérieur de chaque studio afin de rencontrer les normes requises.

3. Vous devrez vous inscrire à l’avance puisque l’option “drop in” ne sera plus permise. Vous aurez également jusqu’à 2 heures à l’avance pour annuler celle-ci afin d’éviter un frais d’annulation.

4. Pura Vida Yoga s’engage à vous tenir au courant des nouvelles procédures dès que ceux-ci nous seront transmis par les autorités. Votre santé demeure notre priorité et sachez que toutes mesures disponibles seront mis en place afin de rendre votre retour chez nous, une expérience agréable pour tous.

5. Finalement, la plateforme virtuelle existante sera disponible tout au long de cette transition. Nous avons entamé des démarches nécessaires afin d’offrir un meilleur service en ligne, qui deviendra une nouvelle option pour tous nos membres. Nous avons bien hâte de partager cette nouvelle plateforme sous peu.

Nous vous remercions encore de votre appuie, de vos messages et mots d’encouragement tout au long de cette épreuve et avons tellement hâte de vous revoir parmis nous. Un rappel pour tous nos membres payants , divers options d’ajustements seront offertes sur vos passes existantes dès votre retour.
