Deep Cove Program
Nature and mindfulness education set in the heart of Deep Cove.
We are extremely excited to announce that Storyoga will be the new owner of 1080 Cypress Road, formerly known as The Playhouse in Deep Cove! This has been a long awaited dream of ours to have a space to call our own and for Storyoga to have a permanent home.
Storyoga will take possession of the property at the end of December with an intended
opening date of February 1, 2021.
This new location will build slowly as we take the time to put our Storyoga touches on each space. Our initial offering will be a licensed part-time preschool program with registration opening soon.

- “She reads us stories and we colour. I love drawing inside the shapes – and about Vanessa, I love her!” ~ Darien, 4

What Parents are saying
- “I heard about your classes and camps from several of the Sidney Preschool moms. I’ve talked to quite a few people about your classes at Strongstart, Preschool, and in Logan’s Kindergarten and I have never heard a bad thing. You should be really proud of the strong reputation you have built in your small community.” ~ Joscelyn, Sidney BC
- “Kaylee absolutely loves the class and you also. We have tried a few after-school things before and she has never been enthusiastic about them. With this yoga she comes home and can’t wait to show us what she is learning. Thanks for all the energy you put into it.” ~ Sarah Paulson, Sidney BC
What Teachers are saying
- “Hi Vanessa. Thanks so much for having me. I felt so comfortable… a sense of coming home or at least inspiration for the type of environment I want to be involved with. Out of all the centres I visited, yours was the most beautiful in so many ways, especially the vibration of peace.” ~ Yvonne MacKenzie, Pender Island BC
- “Vanessa’s interactive storytelling, wide use of colorful, playful props and the brilliant way in which she engages children in yoga poses was a hit with the children in our program! Thank you Vanessa for exposing our children to yoga in such a fun, positive way.” ~ Lori, Victoria BC
