FAQ

• What should I wear and bring?

  Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in. Common yoga wear for the ladies are leggings and for the men, shorts or jogging pants. Bring your mat, maybe some extra clean clothes and a flexible mind.

• I'm new to yoga. What classes do you recommend?

  We recommend the following classes for you to start with:

  • The Roots
  • Yoga Blend
  • Go with the Flow
  • Mind + Body

• I'm not that flexible. Can I still do yoga?

  Absolutely! This is the biggest misconception out there about yoga. Yoga is not about how flexible you are. It’s about strengthening your body, reconnecting with the breath and increasing your range of motion.

• I have an injury. Can I still participate?

  Each case will be unique for everyone. We always recommend that you consult with your family physician first prior to taking a class. Feel free to connect with us or have a chat with one of our wonderful teachers regarding your injury before taking a class. That way, we can help provide modifications and/or class recommendations.

• Do you have showers?

  We sure do! We also offer complimentary and paraben-free body wash to help you feel squeaky clean after class.

• What is your hot yoga?

  We offer 2 types of heated classes: Warm 33°C and Hot 37-40°C. Our heated classes are heated with FAR Infrared panels, a healthier way of heating the body.

  Important Note: Temperature and humidity for heated classes may vary depending on total number of attendees, class pace, external factors and location in class. Although we do our best to keep class temperatures as defined, temperatures may vary a couple of degrees based on conditions mentioned.

• I've never done hot yoga before. Is it good for me?

  Everyone will have a different experience with hot yoga. If you’re curious to try it out, we recommend you try a Warm (33°C) yoga class first and see how you do. You’ll be drenched in sweat, so be sure to hydrate yourself throughout the day, during and after class. More importantly, listen to your body. If you’re feeling dizzy or tired during class, take a break, replenish yourself and move at a safe pace whenever you’re ready.

• Where are you located?

  We’re located in the heart of the golden triangle. You can find us on 298 Elgin Street (corner of Elgin and Gilmour), on the second floor. If you’re more of a landmark navigator, we’re in the same block as Bridgehead coffee shop, beside Town Restaurant and right across the street from Minto Park.

• Is there parking nearby?

  Parking on Elgin Street and the surrounding areas are usually metered until 5:30 PM. Parking is free on weekends, all day!
