ABOUT ME

I’m Alecia Iwanchuk, the founder of Intentions Yoga in Saskatoon. I’m a yoga teacher, somatic coach, and spiritual mentor who supports women through stress, trauma, burnout, and the awakening journey. My work brings together Vinyasa & Kundalini yoga, breathwork, meditation, embodiment and somatic experiencing trauma relief therapy so you can feel safer in your body and clearer in your mind. I teach live online and in person in Saskatoon, and I offer private sessions, group classes, coaching, and workshops. Everything I create is designed to be welcoming, choice based, and practical for daily life.

My approach is grounded in extensive training in Vinyasa & Kundalini yoga, trauma informed practice, and embodiment coaching. I have studied breathwork, meditation, nervous system regulation, and consent based facilitation, and I continue ongoing education to keep my work current and ethical. I blend these methods with practical spiritual guidance so students receive tools they can use off the mat. When helpful, I collaborate with health professionals and I honor clear scope of practice. The result is a steady, well supported pathway for women who want healing, clarity, and meaningful change.

Intentions Yoga was born from my own awakening and from seeing how powerful simple, consistent practices can be when a woman feels truly safe. I wanted a space that honours the body’s pace, respects trauma history, and welcomes spirituality without pressure. After experiencing the impact of kundalini, breathwork, and somatic tools in my life, I felt called to share them in a clear and grounded way. The studio grew from that intention and now serves women in Saskatoon and online with practices that restore regulation, purpose, and agency.

I teach with warmth, clarity, and inclusivity. You will hear invitational language, steady pacing, and frequent options so you can choose what feels right. A typical session begins with grounding and breath, moves into accessible movement or kriya, and closes with meditation and integration. I value simple cues, consent, and plenty of rest. Whether you are brand new or experienced, I aim to help you notice your body’s signals, regulate your nervous system, and leave feeling more connected to yourself.

Yes. I specialize in gentle, trauma aware teaching that supports sensitive nervous systems and complete beginners. We agree on intentions at the start and adjust the intensity moment by moment. You will always have options such as slower pacing, chair or wall variations, and extra time for orienting and breath. I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and coaching is not a substitute for therapy, yet the practices often complement clinical care beautifully. My priority is your sense of safety, choice, and dignity.

You can join me in several ways. Book a private 1:1 yoga session for tailored guidance. Apply for Somatic Yoga Coaching if you want support with regulation and healing, or choose the nine week Awaken program if you’re ready to step into clarity and leadership in your life. You can also attend kundalini and chakra based classes, women’s circles, and workshops. Most offerings run online, with in person options in Saskatoon when available. If you are unsure where to begin, schedule a free fifteen minute consult and I will help you choose the best path.
