The new location is clean, has good heating and air conditioning. Yes, it is among the more expensive studios, but classes are small and you get much more attention than in the larger studios in the area. If you want a studio where instructors will ask your name and remember it (even if you're just dropping in), this is the place for you.

Monthly rates become worth it if you go a few times a week but I know that's not realistic for everyone. It's also a lot of you consider that many of us also have a monthly gym membership. Sad that I could never get friends or family to join me for a $60 drop in :/ I wish this company well, I just wish it was more accessible to people who don't have the privilege of disposable income.

The space is very clean and well-equipped with a water fountain, plenty of lockers with locks, changing rooms and washroom. I also loved that they use high-quality Merrithew reformers.

It's a beautiful studio that has transformed an old Toronto building into a modern, clean space with exposed brick walls. I regularly come to do Jonny Belinko's Ashtanga class in the hot room. Jonny is a very down to earth instructor, and his class is very simple, which I love. I haven't tried the other current instructors, but will eventually try! I came last night and was pleasantly surprised to see that they are expanding their space! Apparently there are expanding into the lowest floor. Currently, they only occupy the top two levels of the building. Note: this makes it not accessible. Change rooms (men and woman separate) are clean - you'll need a lock for the lockers, like a padlock or combo lock.

The staff there are very welcoming and there's a great sense of community. Yes some classes will tend to get busy and also when there's a switch in classes you'll see lots of sweaty yogis and shoes everywhere but that's the beauty of the hustle. It doesn't really bother me. They have a lounge and tea area for you to chill before or after class. Also have bathrooms, showers and a third change room area. They also have filtered water in the washroom in case you need a re-fill. All in all great studio and I highly recommend.

She will expect you to do things for her for free but when it comes time to get paid it's always a delay. Must be nice to under pay your employees em and take lavish trips with the money they earned you for all their hard work as you do absolutely nothing for your own business. One of the worst business owners I've ever met. I would just stay away from this business as the owner doesn't care to uphold her own values. There are way better yoga studios to go to. Someone has to stand up and say something about this selfish person who treats people like garbage.

A separate laundry bag for your sweaty gear Showers to freshen up. Big mirrors. The place is clean because shoes are removed at the entrance. I really admired what I think was cork flooring. I could see the individual panels. It's very thought out to give warms to a room aside from carpet (that can be dusty) and marble or imitation tiles that would be cold to touch. Very well thought out.

I said a lot of great things about this studio but everything changed post pandemic. The…read morecleanliness of the studio is the biggest thing. The floors are never cleaned in between classes. It is wiped down, without cleaner. So throughout the day people walk into dirty floors. I got two foot infections from these dirty floors. Not only that the floors are buckling because of the intense heat, and they are never fixed. Just tape. The washrooms are hardly cleaned and having signs that forbid people from pooping is totally ridiculous and violates just basic rights. The change room and showers are never cleaned. With all of this the studio itself is just badly run. Inconsistent schedules, reduced classes on the weekend, huge overturn of instructors. It's not consistent in any way. There is also a lack of equipment for floor Pilates and the equipment always smells and is never clean. This is not a yoga studio just a business for the owner to make money and she doesn't care if you complain because "she's rich". There are many other establishments in Markham that have a better yoga community, consistent schedule and clean studios. Not worth your money. I quit because of all these reason.

In my opinion the best quality of yoga instruction anywhere in Toronto…read more The studio has been in operation for more than 30 years, and it hums along like a well oiled machine. The senior teacher is Marlene Mawhinney who was recently described by Sweat Equity magazine as "a national treasure". And deservedly so. The studio teaches Iyengar style yoga, a classical style which focuses upon rigorous alignment and great attention to detail. Iyengar teachers are among the best trained yoga teachers, and the Iyenger style is widely respected by its various peer groups yoga styles. BKS Iyengar himself is still alive at age 93, and continues to practice yoga every day at his home studio/retreat in Pune, India. The studio (and Iyengar yoga in general) doesn't indulge in much of the artsie new age elements of yoga. There will be no incense or drum circles here. Just great quality yoga instruction. They also have various programs for those with specific needs, (back problems, heart problems, etc), and they take a very principled approach towards their responsibility towards those who have physical limitations or ailments. I've been attending classes here off and on for 15 years, although not as frequently as i would like recently, as I live further away. Highly Recommended.

One of the first places I sought out when I moved to Toronto was a yoga studio, particularly of the…read moreIyengar style. It also helped that this studio was recommended to me by people in Calgary who had been here and had taken classes from the owner/teacher (Marlene M). If people know of your studio provinces away, than it must be pretty good. This studio is very clean and just the right amount of space to not be overwhelming. When I arrived, the front desk person was very friendly and helpful answering my questions and helping me get set up with a pass. Some studios feel intimidating when you enter them, not this one. I felt welcomed and comfortable. I attended a number of classes with a few different teachers who all seemed to be well trained and had a great rapport with students. I felt a sense of community and was pleased when I would see teachers chatting with students after class and answering questions. Also, the prices for drop-ins and such seem to be on par with other studios around. After some time, I noticed this studio had programs for different ailments, such as the Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis and Cardiac Program. I don't know much about them as I didn't inquire, but I think it's great classes like this are being offered. I have since moved away from Toronto, but visit frequently, so when I'm in town I like to stop by here for a refreshing class in my favourite style of yoga.

The staff are always friendly and they provide complimentary water and tea and a comfortable seating area if you want to lounge before or after your classes. The change room is also clean. I believe they have two rooms at this location. One for hot yoga and one for regular. The instructors are also very good. I've had no issues with booking online through the website as well as adjusting my membership status and taking advantage of their promotions. If you have any questions or get confused, I highly recommend that you call the studio or ask it in person.

The class with ghazal tahari was ok. It felt like humid yoga as opposed to hot. The studio wasn't…read morehot enough. I've done hot yoga before and I'm usually sweating at the end of the class. And at this studio, I didn't break a sweat. The instructor was giving too many instructions. It was hard to keep up with her. She didn't hold the poses for long either. She did give breaks to sip water which was nice. Be careful that not all lockers in the restroom lock properly. The herbal tea is a nice touch. In the class pass instructions and the email yoga tree sends, it isn't mentioned that borrowing a mat is $2. So be aware of that too prior going to class here. I'll skip this spot.

I had a really good experience at this yoga studio. They offer Hanuman Yoga, which is taught no…read morewhere else in Toronto, aerial yoga classes and some other classes. The Instructor is really helpful and he has other students and assistants in the class to help students get into the poses if you sign up for any of the All Level Classes. I took a Hanuman Yoga class which was really hard. This class uses a yoga strap, which you use to invert yourself from the ceiling and to perform all of the poses. I actually found this class a little too difficult for myself but I did appreciate all of the help from the instructor, his assistant and the other classmates. At this studio they have a few aerial yoga classes. The traditional aerial yoga class is done very high off the floor and was much more difficult than all of the other aerial yoga classes I have ever been to. I have a few more classes at this studio and am going to try the aerial yoga class, which happens on Wednesday evening since I was told it it done much closer to the ground. I think it will be more in line with the other aerial yoga classes I have done in the past. The studio also has a Hatha yoga class which is completed on the floor and if the other aerial yoga class is too difficult I might check that one out on a Sunday to see what I think of it.

Went for my first aerial yoga class through Groupon. Nice that they have lockers but I don't know…read morewhy they need to take your picture "for reference". This was an all levels class but it seemed like most people have been here before. The instructor just jumped right in with no intro or anything. Although it's a relatively small class of 12, I feel like you don't get help if you need it. I just felt really uncomfortable the whole time, both emotionally and physically. Emotionally because he didn't really slow down or show any modifications, he just demonstrated and has us try. The way he explained wasn't very technical either, so I wasn't sure whether I was doing it right or not. Also, I didn't like that he commented sometimes in cantonese. Just because the students are mostly Chinese doesn't mean that you should assume they understand it. Physically uncomfortable because the hammock was too high for me and it wasn't adjustable. He said that it's okay if it's too high because I'm going to invert upside down anyway. Somebody fell down and he calmly continued teaching, later asking if she was okay. Maybe it's his teaching style, but I just don't feel comfortable going to another one of his classes.

Feeling very urban and brave for having slept at my boyfriend's condo in Toronto's West End, I…read morechose this morning to venture further out of my comfort level and actually tried a different yoga studio. Now, there is a marked difference between the people living in midtown Toronto (myself not included since I am a Winnipeg girl at heart) and those living in the West End; that is, the denizens of midtown make lots of money, prance around in designer clothing and flashy sports-cars and probably live outside their means, whereas West-enders have recently begun to earn money, walk around looking like paupers, and probably live beneath their means. Now what does this have to do with yoga? Well being from the midtown, I was afraid the West End Yogis would smell the stink of St. Clair on me and resent my presence. But Yoga Space is a relaxing environment, with friendly staff and a very yogi clientele. Everyone is welcoming, or at least leaves you alone. For the most part, the instructors are good, but the classes are often taught by students since it is a yoga school as well. The best part about Yoga Space though are the calming efforts the teachers make to relax you into your final pose -- Savasana -. Each end to the class is different, anything from bean-bags on your eyes to a foot rub to a eucalyptus scented blanket is used to let you close your practise in complete comfort. Yogi or not, one thing is certain, no Good Life gym under the Sun would offer you that kind of treatment at the end of a workout.
