I've been going here for the last month and it's honestly the BEST yoga studio I've ever been a part of! What I love most about this place is the VARIETY of classes offered: from your typical Vinyasa and Hatha, to Yin, Shakti, Bhakti & more! They even incorporate sound healing & aromatherapy into some of their weekly classes. This place is the real deal...it's not just the western/hipster form of "yoga," but rather a fully-involved, authentic practice that includes mantras, meditations & breath work in addition to the asanas. I've been doing yoga for the past 10 years, yet I've learned something

I am new to yoga and was convinced to drop in to a restorative class. I was intimidated at first but it felt relaxing and easy to follow and was exactly what I needed and certainly will be back. It felt like experienced people enjoyed it and I was given one on one attention when needed. Nice space and wonderful staff

What a disappointment! I was passing through Squamish and dropped in for a class. Not sure if they are short of good yoga teachers in Canada but this was awful and I'm pretty sure it was the owner of the studio as well. Don't waste your time. Sad.

Attended the Vinyasa class today and had to ask if I was in the right class. This class started with abs and strange movements that were supposed to be a warm-up. I had to really pay attention to the instructor's very convoluted descriptions and ended up not aware of my breathing at all. Not a good class and not sure about any of the other instructors.

Moving to Squamish from NZ in February, has been more than a yoga studio for me: it has been the catalyst for making new friends and my immersion into this amazing community. I cherish my time at there... from the people I share my practice with, to the warm vibe of space, to the learnings I receive every class from the incredible depth and experience of Tanya and Shala's teachers. Tanya, mauruuru koe ataahua wahine (thank you beautiful lady) x

Great cozy studio. I do a drop in there every few weeks to get a good strech and add some variety in my workouts and am always glad i went.
