5 Elements Yoga & Pilates is not in my hood.. going there makes almost feel like a day trip.. But I…read morehave to say that people in the Brampton area is lucky to have such a nice studio in the community. 5 Element Yoga is in a historical building which used to be "The Old Shoe Factory" and now it is converted into units housing different businesses. A lot of the character of the interior has be preserved, like those brick walls.. the high ceilings all give the studio a really rustic feel. The class I attended is called YogaFusion.. This is NOT my normal yoga classes, but I do want to try something different. The class itself was interesting, the teacher blended Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates into a vinyasa class?? There was some dancing flow involve too.. kind of like modern dance.. and I feel like I have two left feet. The class itself is a mixed level with more experience practitioners and some beginners.. wish there were more variations given.. BTW, the class suppose to start at 12:30 and end at 1:40..and it started late and it did not finish till 2 pm... I like the deco of the studio itself... can I say really "yoga Indian" feel??

I recently moved back to the area and was looking for a new place to practice hot yoga. I decided…read moreto give this location a try as they have a New Student deal that gives you 2 weeks of unlimited classes for $25. I love these deals because it allows me to try out different teachers and see how the general vibe of the studio is. This review is based on just a few classes I attended in the first week. First off, the teachers are great. They all seem to have their own style and focus. The studio says that they are primarily a Hatha studio but there was definitely a lot of Vinyasa flow in the classes I have taken (which I did not mind at all). The temperature was at a very good setting and stayed there throughout the class. If you are not a fan of the heat, each class has an non heated option. I was curious how they ran both options at the same time but it turns out they found a simple solution; there is a small non heated room behind a glass door at the back of the class where people can practice (they have a speaker in there so that you can still hear the teacher clearly). So far I have found the classes challenging and enjoyable. The only downside is that the studio is small. If the class is full, you have to be very close to your neighbours which results in some poses needing to be altered. Fortunately, the other yogis are super nice and cooperate to make it work. I would also love to see a Bikram class in there.
