the absolute worst owner in the business. who takes off for vacation every month but treats her employees like sub class citizens. she's very selfish and doesn't treat people right. She will expect you to do things for her for free but when it comes time to get paid it's always a delay. Must be nice to under pay your employees em and take lavish trips with the money they earned you for all their hard work as you do absolutely nothing for your own business. One of the worst business owners I've ever met. I would just stay away from this business as the owner doesn't care to uphold her own values. There are way better yoga studios to go to. Someone has to stand up and say something about this selfish person who treats people like garbage. read more

Went to this yoga studio on Bloor St W for a Yelp event. Walked up a few flight of stairs. The studio was well equipped it had extra yoga mats, yoga blocks and knee pads. The change room/washroom was small but it had everything you need. It had hand towels, hair dryer and cubby holes to store your stuff. The studio space was medium size it could fit at least 25-30 students. Wasn't too sure if it was hot yoga. The room was warm but at the end of the one hour beginner class I didn't break a sweat. read more

Tried out a class here on Good Friday, decided on a Pilates class at noon . Passport to Prana in hand I showed up early, signed the waiver and was given a tour. A very nice studio with showers and change room separate from the bathroom which is convenient! There is a filtered water station, a hot/warm room and a regular warm everyone was so friendly! The Pilates class was a full class! It was a fun and friendly class with a great community feel. I don't have anything negative to say. read more

I have come for a few classes here now (FYI: there is currently a groupon available, $50 for 10 classes). There are 2 studios, a large, airy warm/hot studio and a smaller room temperature studio. I would say this yoga studio really caters to those who like hot yoga, which I didn't realize until I took a better look at their schedule. I'm not really a hot yoga fan and I find the smaller studio a bit cramped (even during weekday day time classes), so it's not ideal for me, but I still have enjoyed warm hatha, flow and restore, and yoga and meditation classes here. The owner, Ruby, is an excellent teacher who gives good corrections and is very alignment-focused. The hot flow classes have a lot of good teachers whose names I recognize from other studios, so it looks like you could get a really good variety here if you do hot yoga. The space is very welcoming and nicely decorated, with a living room type lounge area where there are tea bags and a kettle. The change room has showers and there is a separate washroom. One thing I wish they had were lockers. The big studio has cubbies where you can leave your bag, but the small studio gets crowded with people's bags. That said, I would not feel comfortable leaving my wallet/laptop in the changeroom as there are many classes and wellness therapies, so lots of people coming in/out of the changeroom at any given time. Overall, an inclusive and inviting yoga studio. I will definitely come back for restorative classes and any workshops/events. read more

The studio is my current obsession, ever since I purchased the one month pass, I've been going at least 3 - 4 times a week. The staff there are very welcoming and there's a great sense of community. Yes some classes will tend to get busy and also when there's a switch in classes you'll see lots of sweaty yogis and shoes everywhere but that's the beauty of the hustle. It doesn't really bother me. They have a lounge and tea area for you to chill before or after class. Also have bathrooms, showers and a third change room area. They also have filtered water in the washroom in case you need a re-fill. All in all great studio and I highly recommend. read more

Came here for a hot class on a Sunday afternoon. Never again. The class was so jam-packed beyond capacity that I was kicked in the head by the woman in front of me on a downward dog (she apologized). There is nothing pleasant or relaxing about this studio. It smells of sweat. During my visit, the front desk was disorganized and the situation with peoples' shoes was chaos. Note to the owners: when you charge $22 for a single class, you need to limit the class size so that your customers can actually enjoy the experience. read more

Visited Sat March 25 Hot yoga class with Darcy. This place has a warm community feel, members all seem to know each other and have been practicing together for years. I would say that the level is a bit advanced, they say newbies welcome not sure. I've been going to hot and cold yoga for several years. They didn't ask if I needed mat or towel rental. Pros Couch seating for 5 at the front. Hot water kettle and filtered water in the bathroom. Friendly staff that took the time to answer phone calls, questions and give tours. Reusable water bottles in case you forget to bring one, but some are a bit old and look like they are lost and found. Took the time to give a tour of the studio. RMT on-site as well. Very clean and well-lit. Cons Since you need to take off your shoes, there is a ton of shoes near the doorway. It would be a mess when it snows or rains. Pace of class was way too fast, people need time to listen and follow. Studio is located up two flights of stairs, well could be a pro as well. There is an elevator if you're lazy. No paper towels to wipe down mat after class. Men's change room cramped and offered no privacy, you could see right in when the door opens. The windows facing Bloor still say Tula Yoga West, this looks a bit unprofessional since this studio opened in 2014. Protip - Only half of their classes can be registered online, so you can always try and walk-in 15 min prior to the class. Damage - $25 read more

As a self-proclaimed yoga noob (Like, I did some of the free classes at hart house in undergrad) I've always been interested in yoga, but way too shy to attend classes in a fancy studio - everyone always seems so fit and well dressed (lol Like, I don't own yoga pants! Do i have to buy a pair in order to join the club?) After trying a few classes around the city, I've finally settled on union yoga, a non-pretentious, beautifully decorated, yoga space. Everyone is so welcoming. it's right there on the website that the place is for everyone, yoga noobs and experienced practitioners alike and it's totally accurate in my experience. The teachers are great and know how to push you to your limit, while encouraging you to breathe and work at your own pace. And nobody cares that I wear pants made for running to yoga. Um, they have really great massage therapy options too. :) read more

My fav spot in the city for hot yoga! The hot room is huge and bright and spacious and makes me feel like I'm in a fancy NYC studio. There are a wide range of teachers for all styles of yoga, as well as pilates and meditation classes. Teachers are inclusive and accommodating for everyone's unique needs. My only wish is that they had a larger room for non-heated classes. I don't like hot yoga during our sticky summer months and the non-heated room is quite small, so I tend not to go as often during the summer. Otherwise a great space to practice! read more

Classes run from early morning to late evening. Good variety of classes. The instructors have all been good. Even one who was a fairly new (he had taught only four classes prior to the one that I had attended), was creative and interesting. Fellow yoga practioners, aren't pretentious and are generally friendly. I have a medical situation, that I asked each instructor to keep in mind, modify the programs as needed. They did so, in a way that was encouraging and didn't detract from any of the classes. Worth trying out. read more

New to Union Yoga and a fan. Full transparency, Yoga has taken a lot of dedication as its not something I naturally enjoy. That said, I am learning to incorporate it in my daily practice for all the benefits plus lower impact on my body. In terms, of instructors, Erick and Scotty's classes are amazing! Pilates + Yoga fusion is outstanding. Depending on what you are into there are lots of classes per day - some are very hot (in a good way) and the mediation Yin is relaxing. read more

Forget yoga beginner, I hated any form of exercise when I first stepped into a class at Union. The staff and teachers were so friendly and encouraging that I found myself returning the next week. A year later, I've completely changed my mindset. I take two or three classes a week and will blab on and on about yoga and Union and bore everyone to tears. The good: warm staff, friendly atmosphere, great teachers with varying styles. It really feels like a neighborhood business. The regular room is a bit small and classes can get crowded during certain times of the year. I haven't gotten up the nerve to try hot yoga yet but that studio is huge and beautiful. read more

App makes life simple. Yoga for the iot crowd. Good teachers that skew on the young side. Convenient location so very busy changerooom. Wish they would wipe the floors between the packed hot classes. read more

I've been coming to the studio since Feb. 2016. I started with hot body tone with Darcy because I wanted something cardio-based. Her class definitely delivers and then some! Since then, I've tried almost all the different classes, including Pilates, flow, and yoga fusion. The variety of classes and their availability will suit most people's schedules. The environment is friendly, and welcoming. There is no 'attitude' if you've never done yoga before. The discipline is available to everyone, so feel free to come and try out a class! read more

Beautiful, well appointed yoga studio with top notch classes. Instructors are generous with adjustments and really dedicated to giving students a great experience. read more

This is a great place! The classroom itself is a bright open room perfect for doing yoga. The instructors are always encouraging you to smile while pushing your limits and letting you work at your own pace. Love it! read more

My favourite yoga studio. Hot or normal studios both are beautiful and clean. Love so many of the teachers. Very happy to have my annual pass. read more

Having relocated a couple of months ago from Montreal, I was looking for a studio similar to the one I was attending in Quebec. It was not easy, but I found the perfect gem! The studio is participating in the Passport to Prana program ($30 for 1 class in any participating studio across town), that's how I discovered it. I love the vibe there, all the teachers are very knowledgeable and radiate positive energy. They have a great Energy Exchange program, i.e. in exchange for a 4 hour shift per week, you get unlimited yoga classes! Thanks Union! read more

My husband and I have been going to this studio for a few weeks now and we're addicted. This is by far my favourite yoga studio. The space is lovely, the instructions are amazing and there is such a variety of classes to choose from all throughout the day. The hot classes are my favourite, especially when the sun is shinning in the big room most mornings. This room facing Bloor Street is really spacious and welcoming. Even as a beginner you feel immediately welcomed. Every instructor takes the time to ask whether your new to yoga and makes sure you feel okay being adjusted in poses so that you improve your practice with time. read more

A nice studio with very friendly staff. The non-heated room is very small, but the teachers accommodate well for it.

Favourite studio I've been to in the city! The space is absolutely gorgeous, the teachers are very encouraging and unpretentious (which I find is usually a problem in Toronto). They listen and encourage to go at your own pace and provide kind adjustments throughout the class. The warm and hot classes are my favourite, especially when the sun is shinning in the big room! They're challenging while still maintaining a fun environment. Love Union Yoga!! read more

I've tried several yoga studios around the west end of Toronto over the years, and this is by far my favourite. Even though I don't normally love hot yoga (which the majority of classes here are), I'm willing to give it a try here, because the teachers and studio are so great. They also have lots of non-hot classes that are awesome. The studio is very calm and beautiful, and not too cramped, and the instructors really focus on proper alignment, engaging your core, and practicing safely. It's not too 'over the top' with the spirituality side of yoga, which I often find annoying, but rather focuses on breathing and being mindful--exactly what I need. read more

Great location in the neighbourhood, design and layout very nice, instructor range from great, good and poor. Would be nice to see them help others and less time looking at themselves in the mirror. Expensive for classes and membership. read more
