Our blog

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.

Our Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) group was unable to meet for our last three sessions, so we moved to zoom and a few other ways to communicate and learn!
Amy Murphy had created some online content for the group to work with. Here is a full Flow class (Journey into Wheel) with some theory at the beginning (first 15 minutes), which you can take a listen to or skip through if you want. This yoga class will also give you a taste of what is offered in teacher training. Enjoy the details! 
ps. This class is challenging.

Melissa Fraser has been appearing weekly in our NEW online community page (Pura Vida Community Gathering) weekly to discuss some relevant wellness topics during COVID19. You can catch her LIVE on our page Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10am. Some of you may recognize her from early days at Pura VIda!

We have created a temporary space for us to share classes and positive content while our studio doors are closed. Our vision is to keep a strong connection with all of you, where we can strengthen our practice together and inspire each other to experience growth during these uncertain times. Together we are stronger to move through this as a community. Please join our Facebook group Pura Vida Community Gathering to access what we have been sharing...we can't wait to see you there!

Here is just one of the classes we have shared - thank you Jessica Wall! We also have LIVE classes that you can access anytime if you have missed them. Enjoy!

Qui aurait imaginé notre nouvelle réalité,  un arrêt imposé de notre routine quotidienne. Il n’y a pas si longtemps on aurait possiblement tous rêver à avoir une “vacance” au une “pause” de nos multiples engagements.  En ce 15ième jour de quarantaine, je réalise et apprécie comment mon cheminement personnel au travers du yoga m’aide à mieux vivre cette situation. Nos classes de yoga nous rappellent continuellement l’importance à revenir au moment présent, de pleinement apprécier chacune de nos respirations  et d’avoir confiance que le sol ou la terre sera toujours là pour nous appuyer. Lâcher prise et avoir confiance en ce qui sera!
Namaste Chantel
