Somatic Yoga & Inner Connection
in the Alberni Valley
A peaceful, appointment-based yoga studio for embodied movement, self-inquiry, and healing, guided by the rhythms of your inner nature.
Meet Livi De Rooy-Peters
Somatic Yoga Therapist • Yoga Mentor • Bodyworker • Author • Doula • Mother
Livi created Twisted Willow Studio as a way to share the healing practices that supported her own well-being. With over a decade of experience, she brings deep presence, skill, and intuition to every offering.
Her work is grounded in the belief that embodiment is a lifelong relationship—with our nervous system, our breath, and our true inner nature. Livi lovingly curates personalized somatic yoga therapy sessions and embodiment yoga group classes to help each student reconnect with themselves on every level: mind, body, and soul.
“My Thai massage experience recently with Livi was nothing short of divine! From start to finish it was very comfortable and relaxing, and the depth of stretch was just perfect for what my body needed at that moment. Livi's studio is one of my favourite places to be because she's creates such a beautiful and welcoming space for everyone. Highly recommend!”

About the Studio
Twisted Willow Studio was created to carry you out of the busyness of town and into a devoted space for reconnecting with your body and your breath.
Once a commercial care home, this building has been lovingly transformed into a peaceful yoga studio, complete with two private practitioner rooms, a boutique reception area, and a light-filled movement space.
We offer yoga and somatic experiences rooted in compassion, care, and intentional presence. Every session is held in a quiet, appointment-based environment to support your unique path inward.

“I highly recommend both Livi’s yoga classes and bodywork sessions. I’ve had several sessions with her and my favourites are the Thai massage and the Head massage. Every session with her I am able to access deep relaxation, and my body feels amazing after- pure bliss. She is a highly skilled yoga teacher, it’s extremely obvious the dedication that she puts into her craft. Livi is a true gift to the community and we are so lucky to have her!”
