The ABCs of Power Yoga Collective: Action, Belonging, Community

By Events, Power Yoga Handbook

If you’ve spent even five minutes with me or walked into a Power Yoga Collective studio, you’ve probably experienced the ABCs of PYC. No, not the ones you sang in kindergarten. These are way juicier.

At PYC, A is for Action, B is for Belonging, and C is for Community. They’re not just words on the wall—they’re how we live and breathe.

A is for Action (and it starts with you)

The hardest part of yoga is getting to your mat. Seriously. The mental gymnastics you’ll do to convince yourself you’re too busy, too tired, too whatever? Legendary.

But every time you override that chatter and show up, you’re in action. And that’s where transformation begins. Not in some perfect pose—but in the choice to be here.

B is for Belonging (because you already do)

Belonging is my love language. I know what it feels like to walk into a room and feel like you don’t fit. That’s why every PYC class is designed so you do feel like you belong.

No one cares if you’re in your first downward dog or your 500th. You’re welcome here. Period.

C is for Community (the real magic)

The reason PYC has grown is simple: community. When we sweat together, breathe together, fall out of poses and laugh about it together—that’s where the real yoga happens.

Community lifts us up when we want to quit. It reminds us we’re not alone. And let’s be honest, it’s way more fun to do hard things together.

Action. Belonging. Community.
 Simple. Powerful. Life-changing.

The Power Yoga Handbook is more than a book — it’s our practice, our community, and our purpose in your hands.

The Power Yoga Collective Story: How Community Transformed a Practice

By Events, Power Yoga Handbook

Let me tell you a little story.

When we started Power Yoga Canada back in 2009, it wasn’t because we had some master business plan. Nope. It was because Pauline walked into one of my jam-packed classes and said, “We need to open our own studio.”

At the time, I was just doing what I loved—teaching sweaty, loud, unconventional yoga classes where people could actually talk to each other before class started (shocking, I know). What I didn’t realize then was that we weren’t just creating yoga classes. We were building community.

That’s how Power Yoga Collective (PYC) was born. From one studio with no sign out front and a sketchy stairwell entrance (true story), we grew into something so much bigger than we ever imagined. Not because of fancy marketing or perfect poses, but because of people.

The magic of PYC has always been about belonging.
 We made it our mission to empower communities into action—to create spaces where you could show up exactly as you are, drop the masks, and remember that you’re already whole and complete.

Fast forward, and here we are. A Collective of studios, an online community, a Teacher Training Academy, and even expanding into the U.S. But at the heart of it all? Still the same thing: people over perfection. Belonging over ego. Connection over competition.

If you’re reading this, you’re already part of our story. Welcome home.

The Power Yoga Handbook is more than a book — it’s our practice, our community, and our purpose in your hands.
