History
Established in 2006.
Samatva Yoga was established in 2006 with our West End location. In 2007 we expanded to Kingston's downtown and added Hot Yoga to our schedules. Our two convenient locations offer over 70 drop-in classes per week as well as pre-registered & specialized programs like, Pre-natal, Beginners, Kid to Teens, Baby & Me and more. The studio is independently owned and operated by Jaime Wood. We have now been inspiring happy, healthy, peaceful lives in our Kingston community for almost 10 years and continue to grow and thrive, and bring calm and joy to people in our ever-growing city. The newest addition to our space is the relocation of our West End studio to its new 3,000 square foot home at 836 Gardiners Road (opening Fall 2015).

Upon returning, she taught at local venues and for other Kingston Yoga Studios and within a few years (and more studying & practicing) opened Samatva Yoga West End. Continuing education includes (but not limited to) being inspired in workshops and certifications with Baron Baptiste, Todd Norian and Ann Greene, Paul Grilley, Seane Corn, David Life, Sharron Gannon, Michael Stone, Yogi Vishvketu, Nischala Joy Devi, Susi Hately Aldous, Maria Garre, Natasha Rizopoulos, Michael Lee, Sri Dharma Mittra, and Don and Amba Stapleton.
