Why the Duck?

The duck is our playful west coast icon. It adapts. It floats. It waddles and still gets where it’s going. It reminds us that grace isn’t always elegant — sometimes, it’s about showing up, feathered and flustered, and doing the best we can.

Ducks are curious about their environment interacting with their surroundings through exploration and discovery. (Full disclosure: I don’t speak duck.) They are comfortable on land, in the water, and in the air and ducks come in different sizes and shapes and colours.

Yoga is like a duck! It is community focused and combines the mind, body and spirit (heart) connection. Like ducks, Westcoast Duck yoga believes in resilience. In finding calm even on choppy waters. And in moving gently, together.
