Our Studio

All of our classes are for all levels of practitioners. This doesn’t mean that all classes are easy, and it doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to do every single posture ‘perfectly’. You’ll be challenged in some way in every class – mentally or physically. Part of building up a yoga practice is learning when to ease back from a pose and when to breathe into a pose. It’s a balance. Your yoga is about you navigating that balance. So no, there’s no class you can’t do. There will be some postures in a class that you can’t do… yet. But that’s a good thing! You do what you can, and you rest when you need, and eventually over time, maybe you’ll be able to do a little more. But first and foremost, try to approach your practice with kindness and empathy. And try to let go of your expectations! It’s not about doing every pose. It’s about connection.

Our flooring is comprised of Flotex Flooring – an anti-microbial, non-porous material. This flooring may take some getting used to, and may seem like regular carpet, but it isn’t. Being non-porous, the flooring is hypo-allergenic, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial. A great surface for sweating, as it does not absorb your sweat or water or any spills, you can be sure you’re practicing on a sanitized surface, as the flooring is disinfected after each class, and is steam-cleaned once per week.

Hydrate and eat something – but not too much. Being hydrated is essential to sweating, which will make you feel cooler in the heated classes. Hydration will also prevent headaches from dehydration if you are sweating a lot. Generally, it’s a good idea to drink a litre of water about an hour or so before you practice. Same with food. Practicing a yoga class on an empty stomach can make some people feel dizzy or light-headed. Eating something light about an hour or so before class gives enough time for your body to process the food so that it’s not sitting in the belly. It’ll help give you energy for whatever class you’re taking. But remember: you know your body best. These are just suggestions, and they aren’t universal for everyone. Sometimes it takes a little experimentation to figure out what your body needs. And it can be different every day.

If you have a mat and yoga towel, you can bring those. If you don’t, we supply them (along with a shower towel) to new practitioners who either drop-in, or who purchase the Welcome Membership. Bring a water bottle. If you’re taking an active yoga class, we’d recommend bringing a change of clothes. If blocks or straps are to be used in a class, we will provide them, but you are welcome to bring your own if you have them.

Short answer: No, you can just show up to attend class, which some people like to do because perhaps their day is a bit uncertain and they aren’t sure they’ll be able to make it. Longer answer: If you know for sure you want to come take class, it’s a good idea to pre-register. We are maintaining 2 meters distancing between yoga mats in the practice rooms, which means that space is currently limited to 22 people per class. Pre-registering is the only way we can guarantee you a space in the room. If you choose not to pre-register, we recommend arriving at the studio 15 minutes early to best ensure we’ll be able to get you into class.

If you are pre-registered for a class and you cannot attend, cancellations need to happen 2-hours before the start of class, to provide enough time for someone else to sign-up and participate. Any cancellations after this 2-hour window will be subject to a drop-in charge of $22. Cancellations cannot be made via email or phone. You must take yourself out of class via our website or the MindBody App in order to successfully cancel your registration.

We ask that you stay for the entirety of the class. For each class, the teacher has specifically curated the postures in a specific order to ensure maximum opening, strengthening, and balance. Leaving early might mean that you leave imbalanced, which can be hard on the body over time. Leaving early is can also be quite disruptive for your fellow practitioners in the space. Please stay for the duration of class.

In accordance with the Government of Alberta, masks are not required to be worn in-studio anymore. Proof of vaccination is also no longer required. We are asking everyone in our community to be respectful of others, and be mindful of distancing when others are near you. We’re maintaining 2 metres between mats in the practice rooms and we disinfect commonly touched surfaces between classes, while maintaining a thorough cleaning of the hot room and the change rooms. Any props that are offered for classes have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to best ensure everyone’s safety.
