Pros: - less busy than some of the downtown yoga studios…read moreI've frequented - designated spots for mats, so people can't be jerks about their mat placement - free parking outside - large shower stalls (almost too large) - variety of classes and class times available Cons: - spots are a little too close together - not a fan of the glass door washroom with overhead light (does nobody think about how everyone can see your silhouette in there??) - the studio kinda stinks sometimes - it can get disgustingly humid in the studio (perhaps hence the stench) - if I'm being a picky, a little shelf in the shower for toiletries would be nice - a little on the pricey side, but cheaper than some of the downtown studios - instructors don't really do any posture correction (at least the ones I've come across anyway) I'd keep coming back, but mainly because it's fairly close to home, and it's priced fairly reasonably.

I would probably not go to this studio again, even for a free class. The classes are not horrible,…read moreit will probably do the job as a basic yoga studio. But I'll explain my two star rating. First of all, the studio is an old garage converted into a studio space. There is no washroom, no sink, nothing. You have to exit the studio and use the Juice Truck's washroom if you need it. Air circulation isn't great. They do have a water machine. Second of all, yoga mats are placed in two rows facing each other, and the instructors mat is in the middle ish on one side. Not really a typical layout. I am used to everyone facing one way towards a mirror. Now this is probably what does it for me. The equipment they have is very old. I don't use it, but the issue is there is a strong odour from all of that. Paired with poor air circulation and lack of daily cleaning, the odour can be quite distracting. I would describe the smell to be a mix of feet, sweat, and stuffy air. I'm used to hot yoga studios that clean their studios between classes and have some sort of washroom or change room. This studio really doesn't do it for me, even though they charge comparable rates for drop in. It's really not a good value seeing as they have no facilities and do not take care of the studio. The hatha class I took was all right. I found it to be a little on the easy side, but looking at the people who attend, it's a slightly older crowd so that makes sense. One plus is that they offer free classes periodically. Knowing this, I would still not go again. Parking can also be a headache, especially in the summer.

PROS: Perfect Hearts Yoga is a very cute, cozy, intimate community yoga studio in Steveston. It…read morecaters to both beginners and advanced yogis. If you are a beginner, it is a great studio to learn, as it does not have the pretentious quality found at some other studios. They are also accepting of all body types and shapes. 99% of the instructors are very good ... each have their own style. CONS: On an ongoing basis, the month-to-month pass it actually costs MORE per month than going to YYoga and paying for an annual pass. While it is cute, the studio is an old garage converted into a yoga space, there is no bathroom -- one can access the cafe bathroom, but this is not really convenient as one has to open the locked door, go use the one bathroom, and then relock the cafe door -- for nearly a year, even this has not been available, one must go to the Steveston post office, or coffee shop to use the bathroom. As well, there are zero amenities. So, it is very surprising to me, that yoga would costs virtually the same or more here being it is a little community studio. The owner is a superb yoga instructor, but can be inflexible on the business side of things, e.g. (1) if one asks for an adjustment which would NOT result in less money to her, she still says "no" immediately, (2) there are no holds on passes while you are on vacation, (3) there is a 12 hour notice cancellation policy on a reservation - e.g. - I reserve a class online to go to after work, if I end up not being able to go to a class because something comes up at work, I still have to pay for the class I reserved, and lastly, (4) cramming 14 yogis at times in a studio best suited for 10 to 12 max. Overall a nice little studio who should consider lowering their prices in light of this being a small community studio operating in an old garage. If the prices reflected the "cons" given it is a small community studio, it would be fine, but they don't. Would give it 3.5 stars overall.

I love that this place has a LOT of hardcore yoga people but in no way do they give off that vibe. There are so many classes at varying levels that you can challenge yourself to progress from hatha to hatha flow to power flow (or Andrew's wild thing wednesdays if you're pretty advanced OR an idiot like me who thought that was supposed to be an easy class...fyi, I survived but barely). They will also tell you that most classes are multilevel since you can always do modifications if you're just starting out...Don't be afraid to take it to the next level if you can. I love going to Chris, Karens, Nicole or Andrews classes. The good news? Not only can I touch my toes, I can freakin' do side planks and full pushups now! Six months ago, I would have told you that was crazy talk. There's still no way in hell I can do those pretzel-y poses but hey, it's a start.

I have only attended one class, so this review could be biased…read more The studio is quite small so when there were 20 students, it was quite crammed and not enough props were available. Still, everyone was in good spirits and had a really warm, close-knit community feel. However, I think most of the time, the classes are much smaller from the conversations I heard from others. It had a different vibe from other studios I've been to where it was just go and do yoga and go home. Everyone seemed to know each other, and it was a nice change. Claudia, who runs the studio was very welcoming and friendly. I wasn't able to find any free parking in the area, but for those coming by the train would be convenient as it is right by Holdom station. There is no waiting area, so if you arrive early in the winter months, you can wait at the nearby Starbucks or Subway until your class time.

I have been to probably 10+ other studios over the years and I really love this one. Lou, one of the owners, is the best instructor I have ever had. She is casual and funny, and with her guidance I have had major breakthroughs in different poses. Its a single room studio with a large patio and a window facing the street. There is less than 6 people or so to every class I have been to. I have always been made to feel 100% welcome, it's not intimidating like other studios. The teachers provide a lot of personal attention, especially in smaller classes - which I really appreciate. They have small items for sale such as Lara bars, loose leaf tea (their own special blends), books, and Thai pants among other things. I recently bought a reusable Libre tea bottle and some loose leaf tea- they were having a 30% off sale so I got them for a good price :)
