Move. Breathe. Connect. Come home to yourself.
In Balance Health offers mindful, embodied yoga classes in Maple Ridge, BC, along with individualized yoga therapy. Our approach to yoga is grounded in the belief that your body has its own wisdom—and that yoga is not about forcing yourself into a shape, but learning to listen, connect, and respond to what you need.
Our classes offer a welcoming space to move, breathe, strengthen, soften, rest, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re new to yoga, looking for a more mindful practice, or wanting to deepen your relationship with your body, you’re invited to practice in a way that feels supportive and authentic to you.
Some classes are more active and strengthening. Others invite you to slow down, release tension, settle your nervous system, and rest. Classes may include Hatha yoga, slow flow, Yin yoga, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and other mindful and embodied practices.
Whatever your experience level or energy on a particular day, you are encouraged to listen to your body and choose the practice that supports you.
An Embodied Approach to Yoga
At In Balance Health, yoga is more than physical exercise. It is an opportunity to develop greater awareness of your body, breath, thoughts, emotions, and inner experience.
I teach an embodied and therapeutic approach to yoga that encourages you to listen to your body rather than simply follow instructions or strive for a particular shape. We explore yoga postures as starting places for movement, awareness, and discovery.
There is no single “right” way to practice a pose. Your body is unique, and your practice can be adapted to meet you where you are.
My intention is to create classes that feel welcoming, supportive, accessible, and non-judgmental—whether you are experienced with yoga or stepping onto a mat for the first time.
The goal isn’t to make your body fit the pose. The pose is an opportunity to listen to your body.
Individual Yoga Therapy
Alongside group yoga classes, I offer individual yoga therapy for people looking for a more personalized approach.
Yoga therapy is an individualized practice that draws from yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, movement, and somatic approaches to support a person’s specific needs and goals.
Individual sessions may be appropriate for those seeking additional support with stress, nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, body awareness, or other health and wellness goals.
Each session is adapted to the individual rather than following a predetermined class format.
Meet Renee B.Sc. Kin, MPCC, RYT, C-IAYT
I am a certified yoga therapist, registered professional counsellor, and yoga instructor with 20 years of experience working with individuals in a clinical setting.
Over the years, I’ve come to understand that meaningful health and healing require us to consider the whole person—not simply the physical body.
This understanding shapes the way I teach yoga.
I believe our physical body, emotions, thoughts, breath, relationships, and sense of meaning are interconnected. Yoga provides a beautiful way to explore those connections and develop a deeper relationship with ourselves.
My teaching is grounded in curiosity rather than perfection, and awareness rather than performance.
I invite you to explore what your body is telling you, discover what feels supportive, and develop greater trust in your own inner wisdom.
