Caren Hui — founder, Yogalife Studios
Yogalife South and 124 Street, Edmonton.
(01)—Welcome
Edmonton-grown yoga, built for real life.
Caren Hui founded Yogalife in 2010 to make room for heated and non-heated practice. Today, two Edmonton studios bring yoga, Pilates and mobility together with one standard: help people feel welcome enough to return.
(02)—Our story
Our story
Yogalife is home to two Edmonton studios: our South studio near South Edmonton Common, and our 124 Street studio in the heart of the city. In both spaces, you’ll find yoga and pilates—taught for people at every stage of practice, from day one to decades in.
The South studio was our first, and it’s been open ever since. We expanded north in 2012, and that studio served the community for ten years before its lease came to an end in 2022. In 2023, we opened our 124 Street location—bringing Yogalife back into the centre of the city.
Through every chapter, what we’re here for hasn’t changed: practical movement, honest connection, and a sustainable practice you can return to for life. That means classes designed for real bodies and real weeks, teachers who stay long enough to truly know the people in front of them, and a place that still feels like yours—whether it’s been three days or three years since you last walked through the door.
(03)—From the founder
Why Yogalife exists
I started Yogalife in 2010 when I was 21—with a lot of heart, a big vision, and honestly, no real idea what I was doing yet. I just knew I wanted to create a space that felt like an exhale: welcoming, consistent, and real. In those early days, Edmonton’s yoga scene seemed to offer an either/or—hot yoga or non-heated yoga—so we decided to do both. At first, that choice was purely logistical: meet people where they were, and give them options.
But over time, something shifted. What began as a practical solution became a reflection of what our community kept showing us—again and again—through the simple act of showing up. People weren’t only coming for a class; they were coming for a feeling. They were coming to move, to feel better in their bodies, to breathe a little deeper, and to be around others who were doing the same.
That’s why Yogalife exists. It’s not just a studio to me—it’s a community that helped shape every chapter of our growth. The way we’ve built the studios, the way we teach, and the way we try to lead has been guided by the people inside these rooms. Today, our goal is simple: to be a space where people can come to move, feel good, meet friends, and eventually call it their second home.
(04)—What we believe
What we believe
Yoga has more to offer than a workout, and we teach it with its depth intact. Traditional practices like yin and Ashtanga sit next to pilates and mobility work on our schedule, and each class style is taught as what it actually is.
Every body belongs here, including people who have never taken a yoga class. No flexibility required, no experience assumed, and no one is watching you from the corner of the room.
Consistency beats intensity. We would rather help you practice twice a week for years than sell you a hard month you will not repeat.
- Community over performance
- Consistency over perfection
- Practical support for real bodies and real lives
