    Teachers crank up the studio’s thermostat to 40.5 degrees Celsius for 90-minute Bikram yoga classes. Standing and sitting poses build strength and balance as the heat deepens stretches and promotes flexibility. In all, 26 poses and two breathing exercises target the entire body and can help reduce stress and lead to weight loss. See the full schedule of more than 130 classes, which includes the locations in Cambie, Kitsilano, and West End. The Cambie studio, located in City Square Mall, offers free underground parking.

    Though Bikram Yoga Vancouver offers a free introductory class for new local students, this Groupon is still the best deal available.

    Lisa and Danny, the owners and directors of Bikram Yoga Vancouver, began their mutual journey under the tutelage of Bikram Choudhury, the founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India as well as the style of yoga that now bears his name. After a knee injury left him crippled at 17, Bikram willed himself toward recovery with the help of his teacher, Bishnu Ghosh, and the series of 26 asanas that the two designed specifically to heal the body’s chronic physical ailments.

    Today, Lisa and Danny continue to teach those same 26 poses to students of all levels. Their classes unfold in a studio heated to a fiery 40.5 degrees Celsius; the high temperatures help the body shed tension, toxins, and piggybacking snowmen. Focused breathing exercises complement sitting and standing poses that propel oxygen to the body’s extremities and strengthen muscles.

    Based at Boundary Bay Airport, Canadian Flight Centre has used its fleet of small aircraft to train more than 3,000 professional and recreational pilots since its inception in 1979. After a thorough ground-school education, potential commercial and private fliers hop into planes that include Piper PA-28s or Cessna 172s for flight training. Instructors utilize the Vancouver region’s unique proximity to coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean to teach specific mountain checkout or water-related flying and instrument skills. They outfit their instructional aircraft with all the controls, instrumentation, and capabilities necessary to imbue industry-standard proficiency, and also include in-flight video cameras. These cameras allow new pilots to collect more than one hour of raw footage that they can use to study areas for improvement and capture any mid-flight bubble-gum-blowing attempts.

    Along with the support of amiable and highly seasoned flying instructors, students are able to use grants, scholarships, and other kinds of financial largesse thanks to Canadian Flight Centre’s accreditation from issuers that include the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia.

He specializes in straightforward studio and beach photography for families, capturing images “that people will want to use” with his simple, modern aesthetics and eye for classical composition and lighting. Making his subjects feel at ease, he draws out natural expressions that highlight their personalities through varying sessions, resulting in images of fun and goofy families, a newly engaged couple’s tender embrace, or a tasteful close-up of Dad’s baby bump. In 2007, he hired on photographer Heather Jean, who supplements Robert’s family friendly style with a dynamic take on actors’ headshots and modelling photography.
