Taking over the old space which housed Hoame (the meditation studio), Trove offers a luxurious retreat away from the busy city life as soon as you step into the newly renovated beautiful space. Trove offers a variety of practitioner led services (massage therapies, reiki, naturopathy, osteopathy, holistic nutrition, coaching, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy), solo journeys (salt cave, lymphatic compression, sauna/cold plunge, red light therapy), classes (meditation, sound baths, etc.), and IV and vitamin boosts. I decided to purchase an intro credit pack from Trove as soon as I heard they were opening. I decided to take a morning meditation class this week during their first week of opening. Upon entering the space, you feel a sense of calmness and luxury. IYou are greeted by staff who check you in and then show you the space and guide you to the lockers/washroom area. Each locker is equipped with a robe and slippers for you to wear (no outdoor shoes are allowed inside). The common seating area is free to enjoy before and after your classes/treatment as well where there is tea/water for you to enjoy. To my surprise, I was the only person in the morning meditation class. This was a nice bonus as it was pretty much like a private session with the instructor. The meditation room is complete with all the props you need for your practice. The 55 min meditation class flew by and I felt a sense of calmness, peace, and renewed energy after my practice. I decided to enjoy the space where I had some tea while sitting in the common area, looking at the fire centrepiece they had in the middle of the room. As I opened the door to leave Trove, I was hit with the busy sounds and sights of Toronto. This made me want to turn right back around to retreat back into the calmness and serenity of the space created at Trove. Overall, Trove is a beautiful space that provides a variety of services and products to improve your well-being. I definitely would like to try the sauna and cold plunge next time as well as book some salt caves sessions. The massage services also sound great. Will definitely be back for more!

Jim and Randall are wonderful leaders and the teaching talks they give at the meditation are thought provoking and helpful. As another Yelper mentioned, the address here on Yelp is the mailing address, the Tuesday night meditations are at 60 Lowther Avenue - just follow the Satipanna signs when you get to the front of the building. (Friends Quaker House) Some people sit on the floor, some sit on chairs. Turn off your cell phone before entering, don't just set it to silent, or don't bring it at all. There is no fee per se, but donations are welcomed for the teachings. PWYC.

They met at the Rochester Zen Centre headed by Philip Kapleau Rosh (Three Pillars of Zen)i. Their practice deals mostly in the Theravadan practices of lovingkindness and vipassana. I've been to Tuesday sit and both residential and non-residential retreats. I've had good experiences, and especially good when I accepted their teachings. They are kind, generous and knowledgeable men and this is a great centre. If you interested in meditation you will benefit from this centre.

What a wonderful space and how incredible the teachers…read more I have been taking classes now for 2 years here, including hiring for private classes with friends at home or office, and the fact that I am writing a reviews shows how appreciative I am of this space. Each teacher has their specialization and style, but are all very welcoming and helpful. (And each teacher is often bringing new techniques and variety to their classes.) The studio has a mild social vibe, which I feel adds to the practice, the experience. For me it helps reinforce my consistency of yoga practice. The indoor space is a chance to see one of few remaining houses in this area with Toronto's 1930's (or so) architecture. The studio room is clean and has a bohemian good vibes. There is also a meditation/social room, deck and backyard space. Often there are health and wellness events hosted by guest practitioners, which teachers will tell you about if they know your interests. Yoga mats and blocks are available but must be sanitized after use.

In other…read morewords, not at all intense, and the instructor was very much under par for what I expect at a luxury studio. First of all, the music is so loud and the instructor's mic is even louder. My ears hurt throughout the class and my Apple Watch kept saying it was above 90 dB. Now, this would be fine if it was like Sweat and Tonic where the instructor speaking would lower the music volume so you can hear. However, it just overlapped. Second, the instructor makes it clear at the beginning that she does not demonstrate in this class (even though it was not a full class and there were reformers free). On top of that she does not correct your form. I was not a first timer, but despite, I like instructors that correct form. For my first class, I arrived two minutes before the start time and when I asked where lockers were, the receptionist told me to just bring my bag inside with me. Overall, it may look like a luxury studio but it certainly didn't feel like it. The workout was also not at all intense. The class started a minute late and we spent 3-4 mins on breathing exercises - in a Shape - Reformer class.
