The studio offers Mixed Hatha, Power Vinyasa, Classical Hatha yoga and Pilates Monday to Friday. On the weekends the studio provides yoga teacher training and certification courses. The studio is very modest, pleasant and clean. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and motivating. Prices are reasonable and within market value. They now have an unlimited monthly pass for $40 which is a deal! There is a strong sense of community and belonging in this west end yoga studio.

Mats and other equipment are provided by the studio but you're welcome to bring your own. Most people who come here seem to be regulars so there's always some friendly chatter before and after classes. After my injurious first exposure to yoga at a different studio, this place has redeemed the practice for me. Susie, the owner and instructor I've been with for the past couple weeks, is incredibly knowledgeable in a way where she's able to simplify anatomy concepts for regular people to understand. I'm incredibly impressed with her safety cues and modifications to make poses easier or harder to accommodate a diverse class. She also seems to have an uncanny ability to figure out what we need stretching from any particular day and prescribes poses that target those areas. I had tight calves and another yogini had a tight lower back, one day. Susie just somehow honed in on that without even asking us and stretched our posterior chain that entire class. For the quality you're getting, the price is a bargain.

For comparison, this class was mostly SUP focused and no yoga (except a couple downward dogs), where as Toronto Island SUP incoroprated a 30 mins. yoga session. Supgirlz does offer yoga and pilates classes on the board, but if it's your first time with them, you have to book the intro class (90 mins.). The location at Kew Balmy Beach is perfect! You are accessible by transit, but still feel miles away from downtown. The vibe is really peaceful and I lucked out on the day I went as the waters were calm. Meet at the actual address (it's a house on the corner of Hubbard and Maclean). That's where you will have your belongings stored safely, meet up with the group, etc. A couple people were wandering on the beach looking for us -- it can be a bit confusing! Janna was the instructor. She gave clear instructions and oriented us to the boards before going on the water. We had a brief lesson, learning the basics. Then we had an opportunity to pose for some group and individual photos (which they prompty sent to us by email). Then there was about 30 mins. at the end to paddle on your own. They have a variety of boards - hard, foam, inflatable. All in all, this was a really fun activity to do with friends. Nothing says summer like SUP! They even gave us Lara bars at the end of class as a little treat:) Notes: - There are no washrooms at Supgirlz (you would need to use the public ones on the beach, or walk up to Queen St.). - Despite the name, all classes are co-ed!! - Booking is easily done via MindBodyApp - weekend classes fill up, so best to book your board in advance

I booked our Friday evening lesson online with no issues. The lesson is based out of Kew Balmy Beach; we were instructed to meet by a park bench and our instructor showed up early to bring out the boards from a place nearby and to set up. The first-timer lesson started with basic verbal instruction on dry land, then we proceeded onto the water. After the quick on-water lesson, we had free time to play around on our own. They also have sup yoga, socials, etc. Overall, a good place to try SUPing.

Many of the instructors are willing to guide you in the right direction and advise you about what classes you should be taking, and what areas you should be targeting. There is a lack of space in the seating area and entrance for people waiting to get into the next class. Also hope to see more classes scheduled during the week focused on Yin. There are ample parking spots but is usually hard to find due to the location being close to the mall and restaurants. The practice room is spacious, soothing and dark fitting a relaxed ambiance instantly putting you at ease.

Parking - there are lots of parking but may not be exactly in front of the building. Instructor - the instructor i had was really good! Studio - they only have one studio, got hardwood floor, nice heating panels hanging on top... Changeroom - no lockers .... it's clean...but maybe more benches would be great, or move them away from the shelf, so people changing at the bench won't block people from getting their bags out of the shelf.

It is an Anusara Inspired Reduced heat yoga class and the cost is $5 for 90 minute. This is the first Anusara Inspired class I ever took, as I don't really know what to expect. From the website "Anusara is an elegant practice based on Universal Principles of Alignment and following a heart-centered Tantric philosophy. Expect detailed instruction in the alignment of each pose and transition, within a class that holds the spiritual purposes of praticing yoga as paramount. Reduced heat. Suitable for all levels." Hmmm does it sounded a little boring when they talk about spirtual, philosophy and this or that?? And it is suitable for all levels... will it be another those chanting class doing easy poses?? I was in for a surprise. The instructor is one of the best I ever have in any Moksha studios!! She is so patient and encouraging giving instructions in a calm and soothing voices. The class was challenging with non stop flow...with no breaks!! Though it is a reduced heat class, I was dripping in sweat... drip drip drip on my mat!! The poses are more challenging than their usual Moksha series. A mixture of hand balancing poses and a lot of hip openers. And of course I did learn something about muscle energy VS organic energy and trying to get their balance.... ok ok no more blahing... Though the practice room was a little runned down! But I definitely be back for another CC Anusura Yoga class!

But as a Passport user, this is not an option but at least I can check if my favourite restorative class is full or not. Sunday 3:00 class has 4 spaces left when I checked online at 2 pm. So me and my friend got there by 2:30 and secluded 2 spots. This class is now a Reiki Restorative. Basically it is still a restorative class but there is a little Reiki treatment while you laid there in your poses. Love the class since I was just laying down with my eye pillow for almost the whole 90 minutes... there are 3 staffs to a ratio of 17 students that help us with adjustment and made sure that we are laying there correctly... SWEET! Love the instructor playing the harmonica and singing at the end of the class... that is really calming and different... Sigh... it was so heavenly and peaceful... OMMMMMMMMM
