In 2007, Terry McBride and Lara Kozan co-founded YYoga. The company was founded with the intention to create a community of yoga studio and lifestyle centres. The company partnered with Lululemon Athletica, a yoga-inspired athletic apparel company, in 2010 to provide complimentary yoga classes to the public from February 12 to 28 in Vancouver, Canada. The company completed a $9 million capital raise led by Fiore Capital Corporation and Beedie Capital Partners in January 2012.
McBride partnered with Ian Gillespie, a Vancouver developer, to place wellness centres within residential developments in October 2012. Their collaboration allowed McBride to build studios, as opposed to leasing and renovating pre-existing buildings. The company launched the YYoga app in December 2012. The app was built by Pound & Grain, a Vancouver-based digital creative agency. The company opened its first location in Toronto, Canada in November 2013. According to Business Vancouver, the studio is the largest centre in the YYoga chain and in Toronto.
In August 2015, the company operated 13 centres in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, North Vancouver, Whistler and Toronto.
