23 NOV 2022 · Season 1, Episode 2 - Kassandra Reinhardt, Vin & Vinyasa yoga Instructor, YouTuber, and Author
About Kassandra Reinhardt
Ottawa-based Yin & Vinyasa yoga Instructor, YouTuber, author, and the face behind Yoga with Kassandra, Kassandra Reinhardt, is on a mission to help people of all ages feel great with yoga. As one of the first yoga instructors to embrace online teaching, her Yoga with Kassandra YouTube channel has grown to more than 2 million subscribers and has over 190 million views.
Kassandra started practicing yoga over a decade ago. She was a dancer at the time and was hoping yoga would benefit her flexibility. While taking these classes, she realized the mental health benefits, including managing her own stress and anxiety. Before Kassandra started practicing yoga, she barely had any energy, couldn’t quiet her mind for a single minute and always seemed to have aches and pains. Once she started practicing regularly, bit by bit she became stronger, calmer and braver. Yoga is now ingrained in her daily life in a fundamental way and with Yoga with Kassandra, she strives to bring yoga into the daily routine for people from any age or walk of life.
In 2014, Kassandra decided to begin posting instructional yoga videos on YouTube. At the time, she was a recently certified instructor and was struggling to find teaching jobs. She wanted to share her expert knowledge to a wide audience and always loved YouTube, so she thought it would be fun to try out this new platform. When she started, she was one of the only people teaching Yin Yoga online and now, 8 years later, she is able to continue to share this passion with featured videos including topics on yoga for athletes, morning yoga, Yin Yoga for your nervous system (combating burnout), mental health & emotional healing, and more.
With over 2 million people in her online community, Kassandra has truly provided accessibility to yoga. Having studied under Louise Cameron, Sianna Sherman and Bernie Clark, she began her career as a yoga instructor in 2013 and has now created a space in the yoga community with her specialized bitesize approach of 10 minute morning classes. These allow viewers to make yoga a realistic part of their morning routine. What started as her own personal sadhana to ease stress and anxiety quickly unraveled into her greatest passion, an exciting career and a whole new way of life. Her aim with every video is to create accessible, easy to follow yoga classes that you can do in the comfort of your own home. By allowing her expertise to be one free click away, she is breaking down the financial barriers of expensive classes, the locational barriers of needing to commute to a physical studio, and removing the intimidation factor some students may feel in front of others.
