Care, responsibility, and a commitment to ongoing learning.
Soul Vibes is grounded in the belief that yoga is for everyone, and that a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach is not optional, it is essential.
I acknowledge my presence and express deep gratitude for living and working on the lands known as Turtle Island. I am thankful for the privilege of raising my family here, and for the opportunities for work, rest, and play this land makes possible. I honour the stewards of these lands who came long before us and recognize our shared responsibility to continue caring for this place with respect and love.
I come from both Settler and Métis ancestry and acknowledge my presence as both a visitor and a steward on Treaty 7 territory, the traditional unceded lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Goodstoney, Chiniki, and Bearspaw peoples. I also honour my Métis ancestors of the Rocky View District.
I express gratitude for my teachers, my teachers’ teachers, and the roots of yoga that extend back thousands of years to South East Asia. I offer this acknowledgement with humility and a commitment to ongoing learning, care, and responsibility in how I live and work on this land.
Grounded, relational, and body-based.
Soul Vibes was created to support both the beginning and deepening of practice. The work blends yoga, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed care in a way that is accessible, relational, and grounded.
Rather than focusing on performance, this approach makes space for noticing, regulation, self-understanding, and a different relationship with the body. It is especially supportive for people moving through stress, mental load, burnout, overwhelm, disconnection, or periods of transition.
- Trauma-informed and choice-based
- Gentle, practical, and non-performative
- Focused on nervous system regulation and body awareness
- Appropriate for individuals, groups, and community education
- Designed to feel welcoming without losing clarity or professionalism
I am currently an Intern Yoga Therapist, while also holding a CYT-500 certification in Trauma Informed Yoga Psychology. In addition I have certifications in Transcending Sexual Trauma Through Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Prenatal Yoga, and Yoga for Kids & Teens.
I take my commitment to providing a trauma informed approach and experience very seriously. My mission with Soul Vibes is to provide a yoga experience that is anti-oppressive, anti-racist, decolonized, and rooted in social justice. This mission is guided through the use of Patanjali’s 8 Limb path as it honours and respects the ancient teachings derived from South Asia.
I truly believe in the benefits of all aspects of yoga as I have gratefully experienced many of them myself. Through this experience a deep rooted passion for sharing these teachings has taken hold and allowed me the privilege to be able to share it with others. I approach this work with care, responsibility and a commitment to ongoing learning.
With gratitude,
Kayley Champagne
