20 years of yoga. 20 years of community. 20 years of healing. Don't let it disappear.

For more than two decades, B90 Yoga has been a cornerstone of Vancouver's Commercial Drive neighbourhood—a place where people come not just to practise yoga, but to heal, connect, grow stronger and find belonging.

Now, that community is at risk.

A development application (DP-2026-00387) proposes changing the use of the space at 1109 Commercial Drive from arts and yoga to residential units, threatening the future of a wellness institution that has supported Vancouverites for more than 20 years.

We are calling on the City of Vancouver to reject this proposed change of use and protect B90 Yoga as an essential community wellness space.

B90 is so much more than a yoga studio. For countless students, it is a sanctuary for physical, mental and emotional well-being. It is where people manage stress and anxiety, find relief from physical pain, navigate life's challenges, build meaningful friendships and feel connected to a supportive community.

For some, yoga is part of managing chronic health conditions. For others, it is a lifeline during periods of grief, loneliness or emotional hardship. For many, B90 provides something increasingly difficult to find in a growing city: a genuine sense of community.

These benefits cannot be measured in square footage or replaced simply by opening another business elsewhere.

Vancouver needs housing. But Vancouver also needs places that make life worth living.

We recognize the city's housing challenges and the importance of creating more homes. But residential development should not automatically come at the expense of established spaces that support the health, happiness and well-being of the people who live here.

A healthy city needs more than housing. It needs places where residents can move, breathe, connect, recover and belong.

Commercial Drive is celebrated for its independent businesses, cultural diversity and strong community spirit. B90 Yoga is part of that identity. Losing a long-standing wellness space to residential conversion would mean losing something far more valuable than a commercial tenancy—it would mean losing an important piece of the neighbourhood's social fabric.

And the implications extend beyond one yoga studio. If established spaces dedicated to wellness, arts, recreation and community connection are not protected, what kind of Vancouver are we building for future generations?

Mental health matters. Physical wellness matters. Community connection matters. And the spaces that support them deserve to be protected.

What We're Asking
We, the undersigned, call on the City of Vancouver to oppose the proposed change of use at 1109 Commercial Drive (DP-2026-00387) and recognize the importance of preserving B90 Yoga as an established community wellness space.

We ask City decision-makers to give meaningful consideration to B90's more than 20 years of community service, the physical and mental health benefits it provides, and the voices of the students and residents whose lives would be affected by its loss.

Please sign this petition to help save B90 Yoga.

Whether you've practised at B90 for 20 years or simply believe that Vancouver needs to protect its community wellness spaces, your signature matters.

Together, we can send a clear message to the City of Vancouver:

Wellness is not a luxury. Community is not expendable. And 20 years of healing should not be replaced without a fight.

SAVE B90. PROTECT COMMUNITY WELLNESS. KEEP COMMERCIAL DRIVE HEALTHY.
