In Her Circle x YYoga

Join us for a charity yoga class as part of In Her Circle's movement week dedicated to raising funds for accessibe, timely postpartum mental health.

This is more than a workout. It’s a chance to move with purpose, connect with community, and support mothers who need care now.

Every ticket helps fund weekly drop-in programming through the Pacific Postpartum Support Society (PPPSS), providing immediate, low-barrier care.

Our goal of $16,000 will fully fund one year of programming.

In BC, up to 1 in 4 women experience mental health challenges during pregnancy or after birth.

The postpartum period is a time of profound transition and vulnerability. When a mother is not supported, her well-being—and her baby’s—are at risk.

Yet too many are left without the care they need. Support often ends just weeks after birth, replaced by isolation and difficult-to-navigate systems.

When more serious challenges arise, families often face:

• 3–6 month waitlists for group support
• Limited access to timely, specialized care
• No mother-and-baby hospital care
• Little to no outpatient support after discharge

Join us at YYOGA Kitsilano for an all levels Flow Yoga class, led by Lyndsey Carr. This class will include a dynamic sequence of postures that synchronize breath with mindful movement. We’ll build strength, balance, flexibility and inner calm as we gather on our mats together for this important cause.

• Bring your own yoga mat or rent one at the studio
• Arrive by 1:50pm to settle in before class
• Wear clothes you are comfortable moving in
• Bring a water bottle to fill at our water stations
• Showers, infrared sauna, tea lounge, and patio lounge are provided
• Lockers are available to store your valuables

This is an all levels class and all bodies are welcome.

If this environment isn’t accessible for you, we invite you to explore other ways to get involved below.

In Her Circle is organized by people close to Jenna Dorman and grounded in lived experience.

In 2024, Jenna tragically died of postpartum suicide. Jenna was deeply loved by her family and supported by a strong, engaged community, and despite that, we were unable to help her access the level of care she needed during an incredibly acute period.

“In Her Circle” is inspired by the concentric circles of care that formed around Jenna in her illness, and calls on all of us to step into the circle of care surrounding mothers and families.
