About Annette

Annette Wertman, Chair Yoga Instructor, Vancouver, BC

I am a certified yoga instructor and registered music therapist. I have over 40 years of experience working with children and adults of all abilities and challenges. In 2013 I completed the requirements for an M.A. in Gerontology at Simon Fraser University. The Highlight Report of my thesis is available on my website www.agelessyoga.ca

I taught ‘Yoga with Chair’ through Yoga Outreach, the Council of Senior Citizen’s Organizations of BC, the Jewish Community Center, Hillcrest Community Centre, the RoundHouse Community Centre, South Burnaby Neighborhood House, Windermere Care Center, Courtland Terrace, The Poppy Residences, South Vancouver Neighbourhood House, at Condo 518 and also privately. July 2014 I also led yoga classes at the newLegacy Senior Living: The Leo Wertman Residence.

I have also presented workshops at the Vancouver Yoga Show, the Toronto Yoga Show, Semperviva Yoga Center, the Canadian Association of Gerontology, the Canadian Nurses Association, the International Council on Active Ageing, the Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations of BC and BC Recreation and Parks Board.

Before COVID, I also offered  a Chair Yoga Teacher Training (35hr. Yoga Alliance approved) credit course through Semperviva Yoga School. I am hoping to continue offering this Chair Yoga Teacher Training on Vancouver Island in the near future.

I am now located in beautiful Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island. I offer Fanny Bay Yoga, Chair Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga series at the Fanny Bay Hall and in my front yard (Yoga in the Yard).

As a Baby Boomer, I am passionate about accepting aging and growing older with energy, balance and joy. After all “You are only old once!” I believe that yoga provides this opportunity. “Through the practice of yoga, the body, mind and soul connect to live each day to its fullest potential”.

Join me….and yoga your way to better health!
