Yoga Studios

Toronto (Dec.04.06)

   


A downward dog a day keeps the chiropractor away. Extend your flexibility (and potentially grow your dates accordingly) by getting into position at these Best Of yoga studios...

  1. For the commitment-phobe: Octopus Garden

    2. 440 Bloor St. W.; 416-515-8885; www.octopusgardenyoga.com
    If you can't decide if you're really meant for the whole downward dog movement try one week for just $20 to know for sure. Or, drop in on Friday night for Karma classes where you pay what you can (and help out a charity). Regular classes: $16 each; Annual pass: $1,200.

  2. For the indecisive beginner: Downward Dog

    3. 735 Queen St. W; 1977 Queen St. E; 416-703-8805; www.downwarddog.com
    Don't know where to start, but have heard about the amazing benefits of heart-pumping Ashtanga? For everyone from Madonna to your Mom, DD's prep classes show you the way to becoming expertly twisted. Classs: $16 each; Annual pass: $1,350.

  3. For deep Hatha breathing: Esther Myers Yoga Studio

    4. 390 Dupont St.; 416-944-0838; www.estheryoga.com
    Proof that this yoga “trend” is no passing fad. People have been practicing Hatha here since 1979. Relax and elongate with classes focusing on the connection between gravity, your body and mind. Sessions: $200 approximately; Drop-in classes: $19 each ($10 for first).

  4. For the architecturally-inclined: The Yoga Sanctuary

    5. 2 College St. Suite 306; 416-928-3236
    95 Danforth Ave.; 416-461-6161; www.theyogasanctuary.net
    We're not claiming to be full-fledged architecture buffs but we definitely know (and appreciate) beauty when we see it. Classes are taught in historic buildings (downtown is a century-old ballroom) that you'll love to get lost in. Regular classes: $17 each ($10 for first); Annual pass: $1,300.

  5. For the Iyengar-motivated: Yoga Centre Toronto

    6. 2428 Yonge St; 416-482-1334; www.yogacentretoronto.ca
    Stop, breathe and slow down with Iyengar yoga at this not-for-profit studio, operating since 1972. Concentrated movements force you to turn your brain off to distractions (the BlackBerry will be there when you're done) and focus on strength and endurance. Six introductory classes: $82; Single classes: $18-$24 each.
