I started this for restaurants, but why ? I've added all other types of establishments.

 1. Moksha Yoga Danforth

372 Danforth Ave
Toronto, ON M4K 1N8
(416) 778-7744

Category: Yoga

Neighbourhood: The Danforth

5.0 star rating
  Update - 1/20/2012

Almost a year since my last review, I wanted to update.

The studio is still one of my favourite ones to go to. It's easy to get to (subway, and there is ample parking - free on Chester or the streets near it, and a large green P as a last resort).

My first time at Moksha Today, I went to the Donald Street location after realizing that I cannot make it to the Waverley one at 4:00pm in traffic.

I heart Leewi Yoga.

All other studios should take this as an example. Loveeeee.  The Class was awesome, the people were friendly, and one of the two places I've been to (and I've been to a lot) where I don't feel gross showering, and felt comfortable…More »

I find that I still love coming here even though I don't go to RMTs as often as I should. I tend to use up all my benefits before the 6 month mark.

I love the professionalism here, and although not a spa, you still feel relaxed and comfy.
I've had 3…More »

Although, I have only been to see Leslie a handful of times, she was one of the best estheticians I've ever had.

For a while she's been working part time, for a variety of reasons, and despite not taking on new clients, it's impressive that the spa…More »

Not sure why I gave a mediocre review last time, but took a regular Moksha class (they call it Series) today.

The studio has debranded itself from the Moksha name, but they run basically Moksha style classes with the trained teachers.

The studio has…More »

My first experience at Nailsense this weekend!  It was my pamper day finale after a morning at the Iyashi Bedrock Spa. It'd been a long time she coming since I don't live in the area, but it's something I would definitely I would make the trip up.
