My Barre 60 minute class with Haley was intense and satisfying. It was a mix of yoga, pilates and…read moreBarre. There was a lot of cardio involved. The playlist was amazing but the music was too loud. It's hard to hear the instructor when there's loud music playing. Haley checked in on me and other students regularly to make sure we were all doing ok. She encouraged us to do the best we can. For a cold Friday evening, the class was full which is amazing. The studio is clean and has plenty of room to lock up your stuff. They have those code based lockers. They have two restrooms and a shower. They provide with hair ties, spray deos and dry shampoo to refresh after the workout. There's also a water filling station to refill your bottles which is a nice sustainable touch.

My friend and I purchased Passport to Prana, and Lotus Yoga Centre was a participating studio. The…read morewebsite was very informative and the yoga class had a detailed description of the class, as well as a biography about the instructor that was leading it for that morning. I have never practiced kundalini yoga before, so this was a great treat to an early morning. The pictures from the site reflected the space, it was tidy, and clean. The studio had yoga mats, blankets, and pillows for participants to use for free. Shivalee was the instructor for my class, she was very descriptive in all the moves and it was a very smooth transition from one move to another. The class itself was an hour and a half. The location is very accessible by the spadina streetcar and it is walkable from the spadina subway station (about a 10 minute walk). Although I had a great time, this type of yoga is definitely not for me, but when I do purchase the passport to prana again next year, I will make sure to come back again.

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.

Oh yeah, baby, I'm coming out of Yelp retirement to write this review…read more I have attended nearly 100 classes at Yogatree, so I hope I have qualified to write a review of this studio. Today I was left very disappointed by the studio. I bought a 20 class pass a year ago (c.f.: have attended nearly 100 classes!) -- at the time, I didn't know that the class passes EXPIRE AFTER ONE YEAR! Well, I suppose you can guess what happened. I was abroad for six months in the previous year, so I didn't get the chance to finish using all my classes before they expired. When I visited the studio to ask if they could take pity on me and my expired classes, since I was out of the country for most of the previous year, I was told that the policy is that they charge a $100 fee to "reactivate" expired classes. Now is probably a good time to mention that the 20 class pass, which I was not told would expire in a year when I bought it, was over $500. I'll let you judge whether you think these policies are appropriate. Regardless of whether you think they are or not, I should say that, before writing this review, I looked all over the Yogatree website to find any evidence of these two "policies". Maybe it was my fault for not knowing? Well: I could not find a single mention of the $100 reactivation fee ANYWHERE on the website. I do have to credit them for listing the class pass expiry date... AFTER you have purchased the class pass but not anywhere before payment!!! I wish I didn't have to write this review -- I have met some wonderful teachers and enjoyed some great classes at both the Bay/Dundas as well as the Richmond/Spadina locations. But you cannot have "policies" that people aren't aware of until it's too late.

Love the classes! The variety of classes is excellent, with everything from HIIT and strength…read moretraining to yoga, Pilates, and cycling, so it's easy to keep workouts fun. It can be hard to justify the cost despite classes being so beat. The locker rooms can get very crowded during peak hours so it can be difficult to find space to change.

This is a review for their smoothies and seating area…read more I was craving something refreshing like a smoothie so I decided to come here. The Lagree Shake caught my eye because the ingredients sounded so good and I'm so happy that I tried it because it was amazing. The smoothie itself was very nutty from the cashew butter. I decided to remove the creatine because I didn't want to consume it. The cashier was able to move the creatine from my smoothie to my boyfriend's smoothie. I also tried a bit of the immuno berry smoothie. Taste wise it wasn't that great but I'm sure the benefits are good. There's some seating with some outlets if you want to do some work and also some barstools to sit at as well. There's also a water filling station and a fridge filled with juice, chia pudding, and light bites like falafel. Hopefully, I can come back for this smoothie!

Lovely, albiet little, studio tucked beside the spa at the Ritz…read more My girlfriends and I took a Weekend mid-morning Yin. There was only the three of us and one other participant. The class itself was ok, I prefer a different style of teaching but it is only personal preference. Good props, little scented eye pillows and round mats. Being that it is the Ritz, the check in staff and spa staff were incredible. After class the girls and I used the pool and hottub for an hour or so without interruption. Nice treat! (extra star for this for sure) If I lived at the Ritz (dreams !!) or was visiting, or worked here even I would definitely be a regular. The one teacher Alex, I have heard is really good.

This is the first studio I've been to that supplies round yoga mats for student use. I really liked…read morethese because they ensure adequate personal space for poses and they also make it easier to adjust your stance without going off the mat. I took the Hatha class with Reena on Friday afternoon; it was very relaxed and I loved that the maximum number of students for this studio is only around 6 people! The natural light and spa location make this tranquil setting ideal for unwinding at the end of a long day. Even though I was not a guest of the hotel, the staff here personally escorted me to the location to ensure I wouldn't get lost (the spa location is a bit tricky to find). Overall I found the class to be pretty straightforward and Reena provided several adjustments throughout the class. This studio also has props for student use. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend this class if you can make it several times a week; anything less gets very pricey though. The change rooms and washrooms are very luxurious - there are private lockers and plenty of space. I'm not sure if Passport to Prana members can use the gym facilities, but take advantage of that if you can. The entire gym and spa area is gorgeous! My only regret here is that I didn't take photos. There were only 2 other people participating in the class so it was hard to sneak a few ;-)

The thing I love about BeHot Yoga is definitely the variety. Not only do they offer a bunch of…read moredifferent classes ranging from Vinyasa, Original Hot Yoga, Pilates/HIIT, and then everything in between. There's classes with music to guide the practice and those without. Then there's all the different instructors who bring their own flair to each class and I honestly love this. This is the part that can't be replicated. The quality of the classes is great. Instructors, even with larger classes, will have an eye out and verbally guide you to correct poses. My ultimate recommendation is to try a different class each time to see what works best for you and aligns with your fitness goals. The main hot yoga room is actually quite hot and you need to ensure that you're hydrated before, during and after class. This is not for the faint of heart but you'll feel reborn afterwards. I am not flexible by any means, but I find that the heat gives me a better workout and allows me to extend/be more flexible. In terms of supplies, there are mats and towels to rent, but if you're in it for the long haul you'll need a yoga mat, long towel to place on your mat, small towel to mop up all that sweat and a water bottle. You can clean and hang your mat in the back to dry after a class near the woman's change room. In terms of attire, I usually wear yoga pants and a light top but the majority opt for shorts and sports bras (for women) because of how hot it is. Feel free to wear what you're comfortable with. You can always lay in Shavasana if it gets to be too much. There is a change room for each gender, toilets and showers. Small valuables can be placed in teeny tiny lockers big enough to fit your phone and wallet (they provide keys). There's a communal area to hang your jackets and shoe racks for shoes. If you're looking to work off some pandemic pounds or just trying to be healthier, then definitely try them out. I used the $75 for 5 classes intro offer for new customers (caveat: expires in a month so be sure to use it) and will definitely be coming back!

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.
