Balanced Life Yoga

I am over weight and very self conscious, have never done yoga before, this studio made me feel so welcome, Cindy is word can not describe her energy and love to her students, I am starting a new journey thank you so much for this amazing space and instructors. I have not slept this well in close to 10 years and my new found confidence is over whelming. As soon as you walk into this studio you feel this calm come over you.

Cindy's beginner classes are amazing. Great for anyone who has never done yoga, or those who want to really learn the proper way to do things. The drop in classes I've been to have also been fantastic. Very friendly and warm atmosphere.

Started practicing yoga at this studio at a young age. Welcoming, inviting, respectful and inspiring community. Amazing and kind people who create beautifully sequenced classes.

Wrong account. Apologies. That's my work account. Here is proper info: After beginning training there I found it is more of a business than a sacred space. Seeing behind the scenes really ruined it for me, I went home crying twice after heavy judgement from Shasta. I was consistently intimidated by the senior staff and felt I had to prove my worthiness which is not in the spirit of yoga. As someone with a disability I was tossed, charged thousands of dollars, and held to an impossibly high standard where I was met with criticism rather than education. The studio has a very fake atmosphere where I consistently felt out of place, even when I was just a student. Overall, I wouldn't recommend...especially for anyone who struggles with any type of special needs or disability.

My rating is based on the business practices of Balanced Life Yoga. Having signed up to receive virtual yoga classes in March 2020, during the first shutdown of the pandemic, I believed that the fees I was paying would be a set amount for one year. Now, two months before that contract is to expire, Balanced Life has terminated my contract because they raised the fees by 110% and I did not voluntarily agree to the increase. This is unethical and shameful treatment of a client who endeavoured to support a local business.

I had the most wonderful experience taking the prenatal yoga class as well as the prenatal workshop with Krista. She truly loves this class and I will always cherish this experience as part of my pregnancy and birth.The reason I did not give 5 stars is because I was unable to switch to a different day for the same class when some of my doctor's appointments were interfering with the day of the week I signed up for.

I came to Balance Life Yoga a little broken, I felt old and weak, I'm 51. After coming 2-3 times a week for 13 weeks I feel strong and a little younger. I am stronger physically and mentally - and above all I never feel judged because of my size at the studio. I love the $30 month pass to see if you like it and have the opportunity to try classes and instructors.

The founder Sasha and her team are amazing. Professional, positive and friendly environment. They always make you feel welcomed each time you enter and motivate you to reach your goals. Excellent studio and amazing products. Stories are shared and goals are reached. A must try for all people who want some positivity in their lives. An amazing place to be and learn. Be respectful,friendly and have an open mind to learn from instructors who are experienced and have a passion to teach and answer any questions you may have.

Great place, friendly staff! Enjoy learning yoga there, always feel better after a class.

Love this place. A great variety of classes and workshops taught by the most amazing teachers.
