About Us

At Move Like You, our journey is grounded in the deep traditions of yoga and shaped by a powerful intention: to create a space where all bodies and all stories are honored.

We are guided by the belief that yoga is more than a physical practice; it is a human practice, rooted in centuries of wisdom passed down from South Asia. With deep respect for this lineage, we strive to offer classes, workshops and experiences that focus on centering connection, self-inquiry, and collective care.

Our story is one of reclamation, joy, and representation. It was born out of a need for something different. To create a movement space where Black bodies, Asian bodies, Indigenous bodies, South Asian bodies, and all those historically excluded from wellness culture, feel seen and supported.

At Move Like You, we believe everybody has a story. And every story deserves to be heard and respected.

A space to move and reflect

Move with us. Move your way. Move like you.

Move with us. Move your way. Move like you.

Our Why

For too long, traditional studios have made us to feel like outsiders in our own bodies. 

Move Like You was born from a simple, powerful belief: Everyone deserves a wellness space that feels like home, especially those who’ve been excluded from them.

Ottawa deserves an inclusive wellness space where diversity is truly celebrated and differences are embraced. It’s time to redefine what belonging looks like in the movement space.

This is a space where all bodies, and all those historically left out of the wellness world, feel seen, celebrated, and unapologetic. 

We’ve created a space where everyone no matter who you are or how you move can take up space with ease, joy, and belonging and find movement that feels like you.

“Wellness with heart. Movement with meaning. People that move together.”
