    After testing out my passport at other studios, I have an even greater appreciation for Yoga Tree. I will be sticking with YT for a long while!

    I love that the classes are smaller (max 30 ppl). Mat distance is usually 20 inches or so. The instructors I go to all pay attention to little details & will adjust our postures if needed.

    What I love most about YT is the freedom & opportunity to challenge ourselves. Many variations are always given. With time, you will feel yourself improving with every practice.

    The studio is also beautifully maintained w/ great staff & instructors. What more can a  yogi-wannabe ask for?

    If it weren't for my regular routine at YT I don't think I would've survived at other hot yoga studios.

    This has been the best Passport to Prana studio I've visited so far! It's a pity that the location is so far from me, as I would love to go here more often. The bathrooms and change room are sparkling clean and the entire studio seems fresh and vibrant...even at the end of the day! I loved the little lockers with programmable locks - Moksha could take some notes from this place. The receptionist was very friendly and greeted students with enthusiasm.  

    I went with Rana L. to the L2 class on Monday with Karin and was truly impressed by her engaged approach to teaching and her students. She finds ways to challenge everyone but she also makes a point of giving beginners alternative poses so nobody gets left behind. The class was fairly large but it seemed like Karin took the time to help each and every student, even me :-)  She has a rare talent for challenging students as much as encouraging them - I didn't feel bored by lack of challenge but I wasn't frustrated by difficult poses because I Karin helped everyone do their best.  A WONDERFUL teacher and studio!!!!

    Upon reflection, I think I was delighted with this studio since I was a little less than content with their RH location. I visited Yoga Tree Thornhill about a month ago once again.

    I think Yoga Tree has a lot of potential but I don't think it provides enough diversity in positions and classes. At this point I think I can do with less repetition and a greater focus on tension, muscle strengthening and mental endurance.

    The customer service was adequate, they have some really skilled instructors, but I think there are better choices of yoga 'schools' in the area.
    If you live in Thornhill, however, it's worth a visit.

    I dropped by for a Reduced Heat Level 2 lunch class using my Passport to Prana.

    Lina is the teacher, she is Ashtanga based so her class was more active, with a lot of flow and more challenging since it was a Level 2 classes.

    Though the class was only for 1 hour, it was physically challenging and I really got a workout. For inversions we did headstand, forearm stand and handstand. Lina was really patient and giving us pointers and tips so we can work on the poses based on our level.

    So if you do want a challenge, go to the Level 2 or 3 classes in this location, you won't be disappointed!

    For the studio itself, new self combination locks has been installed so now you can lock all your valuables in the change room instead of leaving them in your car.

    4.5 stars!
