Review from Anne M.
12/20/2010
I am home for Christmas and staying with my parents and wanted a yoga studio that I could walk to. I have gone to Santosha (Westboro) before, but they don't have afternoon/daytime classes. The studio was a bit further into Hintonburg than I expected, but it was easy to find and it looked like there was parking across the street. It was quick and easy ti sign-up (and take advantage of the first timer's special) and mat rental was only $2. I did the Monday morning class at 9:30. The class was smallish (maybe 6-7 people), which is always nice, and the instructor was great. He explained things without over explaining them. The free tea and cookies after class was a nice bonus too! Definitly going to go back next time I'm home!

I attended a class here with my friend who had a monthly membership. I was really impressed with the facility and the class. I have done some yoga before and am quite flexible because of my gymnastics background, so am always looking for an extra challenge in flexibility and balance.
I wasn't disappointed, the teacher was obviously very experienced and even pointed out a couple of adjustments for me to make in the poses that I thought I had been doing fine. She was right, I could feel the difference.
The studio offers every kind of yoga class you can think of, this even includes prenatal yoga, children's yoga and mother and baby yoga!
The class schedule has a time for everyone, no matter what your work week is like. -

I got into my yoga lifestyle when I was living in Ottawa, and this studio was among my absolute faves. The location is bright and spacious, perfect for creating that all- important relaxing atmosphere, and the locker rooms are nice and tidy.
The courses here are versatile enough to accommodate yoginis of all abilities- whether you're an experienced guru, or just a beginner checking out the whole yoga scene. There are light courses for novices, or if you're more exdperienced, try the power yoga techniques. (Fair word of warning, though- be prepared to sweat! It's quite the workout). There are also courses designed for kids and mommies-to-be, for those so inclined. And best of all, their prices are quite phenomenal compared to some other studios.
The staff are very friendly and accomodating, and they really know their craft. When I came to one of my first classes here, one of my instructors pointed out that my hip problems while practicing were a result of an improperly taught pose, and when she taught me how to correct the stance, I never had the problem again.
