Octopus Garden Holistic Yoga Centre

I can't say enough good things about the instructors at OG – even virtually! The schedule has so much variety and everyone is so thoughtful, filling my cup physically & spiritually with each class. 30 minute group meditations throughout the week are also a huge motivator to show up and take time for myself so I love that option. Love you guys!

I've been practising yoga for over 10 years and I've been to a number of different studios in the city until I found Octopus Garden. The instructors are phenomenal, the classes are challenging and fun and the atmosphere makes you want to spend the whole day there during yoga. They combine excellent teaching, safe and positive vibe and friendly space. There is no other place in Toronto better to practice yoga and enhance your knowledge, strength and skills. I can't even think of going somewhere else anymore and it is not even close to my home!

I did my 300 hour yoga teacher training at Octopus Garden and can't say enough good things about the program. Every teacher here is passionate about teaching, thoughtful, experienced and knowledgeable about yoga. In this program I learned about the many facets of yoga, including philosophy, asana poses, anatomy, meditation, teaching techniques. A very valuable yoga teacher training program for anyone looking to deepen their practice and learn teaching skills.

I don’t know why it never occurred to me to review Octopus Garden, as I’ve been practicing there for over a decade. Simply the best yoga studio in Toronto. It’s not just the outstanding level of instruction, it’s also the exceptional level of care shown by every member of the team.

A home away from home, I found Octopus Garden when looking for an Advanced Yoga Teacher Training Program, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! The teachers all bring their unique gifts to their classes, and the atmosphere is always so warm and welcoming. They have a variety of classes to suit your needs, and run some many workshops and trainings, you're sure to find something you love! Such an amazing community, I can't speak more highly of it!

Instant happiness! I love the diverse practices and the incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and responsive teachers and management. Everyone here loves movement, is endlessly creative with their sequences and have helped me to create a deeper relationship to movement and yogic traditions. I have been at Octopus for many years because it is the best studio in the city for me. I keep going back because I can't wait to see what each practitioner is bringing. They have created a beautiful community hub here. Keep up all the good work and see you tomorrow!!!

I LOVE this studio. The space is so beautiful with lots of windows/skylights for natural light as you practice. The receptionist is always so sweet and makes me feel welcome. The teachers offer a wide variety of classes and teaching styles. Darcie is my favorite. She is full of warm energy and smiles. She goes out of her way to make sure I enjoy myself in class and feel included. I have tried poses in her classes that I never would have attempted because she makes them seem possible. Classes are fun! Feels like a real community. Highly recommend.

Hands down my favourite yoga studio i've EVER practiced at (and i've been practicing for 9+ years). All the teachers are so knowledgeable, they've got a great variety of classes for all levels, and it's very inclusive.I am so proud to be a member of this studio. Also, they were one of the first studios to put in guidelines for the COVID pandemic to protect their staff + students, which was very relieving and commendable (esp. because a lot of studios shied away from it). 100% would recommend.
