YOGASPACE

Yogaspace is the last studio review in my prenatal journey, since I popped a few weeks later (eeep!), and I'm so happy I was able to squeeze it in considering this is one of the oldest yoga studios in Toronto, and THE oldest pre and postnatal program in Toronto. I gave points for it being easily located in Ossington, having over 60 classes per week and having prices that are in line with the lowest I've seen in Toronto, but the crammed spaces, lack of lockers and hour and a half prenatal class that landed somewhere between a restorative class and a flow class but without really letting us get our groove in either, left me wanting a bit more.

The space is warm and welcoming, and the Yin & Restore class with Nikki is like a sanctuary for the soul. She leads with a calmness that can make all of your tension melt like a candle. No wonder her class is always full! You will leave there a different person, I swear. 10/10 would recommend.

I attended a Sunday class with Katherina, my first time doing yoga. Loved it. The studio is very clean and aesthetic and the class is a little challenging, but also very relaxing and develops your balance. Great for a Sunday morning.

I planned a brunch and a private yoga class instead of a baby shower. It was such a success! Kathryn from yogaspace called me to understand who my group was and what we were looking for. Leasa, the instructor, was very skilled. She led our prenatal class to fits the needs not only of our friend who is pregnant, but also our non pregnant friends. We all walked out refreshed and extremely happy. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

I decided to complete the YogaSpace 200Hr yoga teacher training last minute, and it was the best decision I have ever made. I cannot recommend the YYT program, the studio and all the classes YogaSpace offers enough. Kathryn Beet and the team of teachers at Yogaspace are phenomenal.The YYT program was a truly spectacular experience. The program was filled with the most knowledgeable, humble and loving teachers I have ever interacted with. Kathryn, Jessica, Hali, and the rest of the wonderful teachers guide you throughout the program from start to finish. The energy these teachers bring is direct from such a knowledgeable and caring place - everyone is extremely invested in you and your success. Kathryn is one of the most supportive, generous, knowledgeable and caring leaders. She does an incredible job balancing challenging you and encouraging you, leading to amazing growth.Instruction throughout the course is clear, direct, and engaging. From the online philosophy component to the in-person practical module, the program is a fantastic opportunity to become a practicing yoga teacher or simply deepen your individual practice and knowledge. The lessons I have learned throughout the program will continue to serve me and my practice for the rest of my life.I left the YYT program feeling like a welcomed member of the community, built lasting connections with my classmates and even began to teach yoga in the city within a few weeks of graduating.YogaSpace is an environment I found to be incredibly welcoming, inclusive and kind. A space free of judgment and limitations, but rather a supportive place to explore your practice, challenge yourself, learn and have fun.

I did my yoga teacher training at Yoga Space. Its awesome. The teachers are real, accessible, loving, kind and are supporting the journey of yoga and self-discovery while at the same time helping support ourselves in doing so. Kathryn Beet cannot be beat! She is incredible (owner).

I practised at Yoga Space for the first time over 20 years ago. It was a great studio then, and as it has matured over the past 20 years it’s become a Toronto yoga institution. Don’t hesitate to practice here - you’ll be in great hands with great teachers.

I just had my FIRST yoga practice since March 14, 2020. Thanks to Yoga Space, I was able to not just come back to my beloved practice (before the pandemic for 7 years, I practiced yoga three times a week), but also reunite with one of the BEST teachers in Toronto, Nicky Poole. Last Thursday, June 9th I visited Yoga Space's new location. Before I entered the place, from the outside, I could not stop thinking how charming it looks. Then I stepped inside, and I felt like I had entered a good friend's loving, warm, cozy home. The studio I practiced in was nothing short of beautiful, with big windows letting in the sunshine. And what a great neighbourhood - in the heart of 'Little Italy'. As I left my yoga practice, I saw the owner walking inside with flowers she had picked from outside, and then arranging them in to a vase. And I though to myself, this lady has no idea how she is blessing people by re-opening this yoga studio to so many of us who were not able to practice yoga with teachers (Like Nicky) who have profoundly impacted us, not just by teaching yoga, but teaching life! Highly recommend this glorious little gem of a yoga studio in the heart of 'Little Italy'!

Yoga Space is an outstanding studio. I did my Yoga Teacher training here in 2016 and still feel so welcomed at home in this community almost 7 years later. Yoga Space's new studio on College Street is a dream, and the Yoga Space team of instructors is outstanding.
