Aurora/Newmarket area residents are so lucky to have Hot Yoga Aurora in their community!…read more We dropped by for a 11 AM class on a weekday using our Passport to Prana. We felt so welcomed and I can tell the staffs are so proud of their studio and she even tell us to come back for another complimentary class as a first timer even after we used our passport this time! The waiting area though small but very intimate... and nicely decorated. Hot Yoga Aurora though small in size.. only 1 practice room.. but not small in amenities! The best equipped studio I been too: - 2 showers, 2 hairdryers - shampoos, conditioners, shower gel, body lotions - hair gel, hairspray, hair clips, hair ties - even tampons! :) - little lockers with keys for your valuables - cold filtered water to fill up your water bottles - hot water if you want to make a cup of tea with their tea bags - mats if you need one - cut up mats in the class as cushions for your knees They also has hot pilates classes using Pilate balls... that must be a great core strengthening class! I would have give this place more star but I was a little disappointed with my instructor.. she seemed to be a little unorganized and since it is only a 75 min class, she did not really have a lesson plan so we did not work on inversions and did not really stretch before the end of class because we ran out of time! After the balancing poses, she suddenly said time for Savasana?? I will be back for another class and hopefully I will have a different yoga practice experience as I think it is definitely an important aspect to rate a yoga studio!

Everything that a Yoga studio should be!…read more I absolutely LOVED my experience here. This studio is a small location set in a cute little plaza in Aurora. When you first walk in, shoes are lined up trustingly in the front hall, making you feel like you have arrived home. The lady at the front desk told me a little bit about what the studio offers and then told me unfortunately I could not meet the owner- as she was in India to continue her learning from yoga experts. Well, I was pretty sold on their qualifications after that. On to the tour: The interior is so quaint and cozy you cant help but feel anything but relaxed and welcome. The change room is small but well set up, with folding partitions, and a separate bathroom and shower room. All the bells and whistles a woman might need are available- from tampons to lotion to hairspray. Outside the change room there are FREE(!!) lockers, where you can leave your valuables and take a key. Easy to remember which locker you used too- as each one is identified with an enlightening label such as "dream" or "believe". There are cold and warm water dispensers, and even various teas to try (I must admit, the tea option really excited me). There are three studios here, one for hot classes, and the others for general classes. The class: I did not actually take a hot yoga class, but instead opted for the Power Pilates with Weights. The room was small, could fit about 10-12 people. The class itself was awesome, definitely a great work out and the instructor was fairly good at providing options for beginners to advanced. What really sets this place apart is the sense of camaraderie here. Everyone seems to know each other and are laughing and joking in the halls, and chatting softly before classes begin. As a new student everyone was so helpful and welcoming, I really couldn't believe it. Nothing like the cold -no eye contact, earphones in at all times- gyms that I'm used to.

Went for my first aerial yoga class through Groupon. Nice that they have lockers but I don't know…read morewhy they need to take your picture "for reference". This was an all levels class but it seemed like most people have been here before. The instructor just jumped right in with no intro or anything. Although it's a relatively small class of 12, I feel like you don't get help if you need it. I just felt really uncomfortable the whole time, both emotionally and physically. Emotionally because he didn't really slow down or show any modifications, he just demonstrated and has us try. The way he explained wasn't very technical either, so I wasn't sure whether I was doing it right or not. Also, I didn't like that he commented sometimes in cantonese. Just because the students are mostly Chinese doesn't mean that you should assume they understand it. Physically uncomfortable because the hammock was too high for me and it wasn't adjustable. He said that it's okay if it's too high because I'm going to invert upside down anyway. Somebody fell down and he calmly continued teaching, later asking if she was okay. Maybe it's his teaching style, but I just don't feel comfortable going to another one of his classes.

I had a really good experience at this yoga studio. They offer Hanuman Yoga, which is taught no…read morewhere else in Toronto, aerial yoga classes and some other classes. The Instructor is really helpful and he has other students and assistants in the class to help students get into the poses if you sign up for any of the All Level Classes. I took a Hanuman Yoga class which was really hard. This class uses a yoga strap, which you use to invert yourself from the ceiling and to perform all of the poses. I actually found this class a little too difficult for myself but I did appreciate all of the help from the instructor, his assistant and the other classmates. At this studio they have a few aerial yoga classes. The traditional aerial yoga class is done very high off the floor and was much more difficult than all of the other aerial yoga classes I have ever been to. I have a few more classes at this studio and am going to try the aerial yoga class, which happens on Wednesday evening since I was told it it done much closer to the ground. I think it will be more in line with the other aerial yoga classes I have done in the past. The studio also has a Hatha yoga class which is completed on the floor and if the other aerial yoga class is too difficult I might check that one out on a Sunday to see what I think of it.

I noticed everyone else there was very nice, the relaxed atmosphere really puts you at ease, great bunch. Now that I know I have this option, I look forward to returning for my maintenance visit which works better for me rather than going for a pedicure.

The classes are small so that even if you are a beginner the teachers give you more attention than if you are crammed into a studio with 30 other yogi. The added attention for me has made it an inviting experience since I am just starting to get into yoga and Pilates. I have also had a massage by the owner who is really knowledgeable and spends the time to show you whats going on with your body with her friend "Mr. Bojangles", a model of the human skeleton complete with bones, muscles and fascia. She explains everything and you completely understand why your back or neck have been so sore. From then on she works her magic to relieve the stress points. BUT massage alone isn't the answer it includes your posture, strength and flexibility. Balance Health Studio connects the dots with their Chiropody (foot specialist), yoga, massage and Pilates.

What a wonderful addition to Nobleton where word of mouth will have people will be coming from far and wide York County to experience this new unique escape from our crazy lives.

Absolutely enjoyed her classes, and she has a beautiful and mesmerising singing voice ^_^ Can't wait to check out more classes during this summer month!

Hubby and I had a relaxing afternoon at Float Valley. We started off with 1 hour of Fire and Ice…read moreTherapy, then finished off with 1 hour of couples float. The Fire and Ice session consisted of rotating through sauna, quick shower, cold plunge, then standing in front of the infrared light. The sauna was big enough for 2 people to lay down, one on each bench. If you ask the staff, they will provide you with some essential oils to put on top of the rocks to elevate the experience. The cold plunge was super cold and I only dipped my body in for a split second. The tank is big enough for 1 person to lay in, like a bath tub. The infrared light was nice as it's supposed to promote muscle relaxation and pain relief. There is also a speaker in the room which you can use to select your own music. This room is completely private and for our use only - bathing suit is optional! The float session was something new to us and I was nervous about being claustrophobic in the tank. Luckily the tank was big enough for the both of us. You can keep the door closed (but I found the humidity buildup too much which made it hard to breathe), so I left a tiny crack open. You can choose to have ambient light (around the perimeter of the pool) or the starry night above or keeping it pitch black. The staff said that an hour of sleep in the tank is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep in your bed!! The facilities were clean and the staff were kind and helpful. You can fill your water bottle up with cold reverse osmosis water or make yourself a cup of hot tea. I just wish that there is something similar in Mississauga, rather than having to drive to Markham for this experience.

This was my first time doing any kind of float therapy - we really enjoyed it as it was super relaxing to just let go. The tank did get hot so we cracked the door open twice to get some air. You're able to control the lights in the tank as well as the music. The fire and ice was great as well. The cold plunge was extremely cold but it was a fun challenge going between the two. The staff there were super kind and friendly. I'm so happy to have gotten to experience this and with my boyfriend made for a great date day!
