This is a space where:

  • Our instructors know you by name and feel connected to what’s going on in your life.
  • You’re greeted with a warm welcome every class and leave feeling like this was exactly what you needed.
  • You’ll find a sense of community (our end-of-season get together over dinner and drinks is a Body Design highlight).

If you’re looking to make a healthy change in all aspects of your life, while benefiting from the energy of a group of like-minded people with similar motivations as you, then you’ve come to the right place.

Check out our available classes below, and we’ll see you on the mat! 

Yoga Classes

Participants will need a yoga mat and are advised to wear comfortable clothing.

Fundamental Yoga (formerly Beginner Yoga)

In this slow to moderately paced class, you will gain a new knowledge and understanding of your body. With awareness  to the mind, breath and  body connection, using Yoga techniques and asana you will learn how to relax, stretch, strengthen and move your body safely. Register

Strengthen & Relax

This class is a small step up from our Essential Yoga class. Starting always with a lengthy warm up and then on to flowing standing sequences. Occasional holds of poses like Warrior, Plank, and Balances found throughout to enrich strength and build intensity. Designed to elevate the heart rate and then guide it back down to a deeply peaceful state. Positive affirmations included to bring moments of mindfulness. Register

Essential Yoga

Mind, body, and spirit unite in this gentle class lovely for beginners and seasoned yogis alike. The class is largely reclined and seated postures with a short standing section. In each class, students will learn a few new poses so it always feels fresh and we will revisit familiar poses to recognize growth and build confidence. Designed to develop healthy, resilient muscles, skeletal alignment and joint stability. Register

Yoga Stretch

Yoga stretches are one of the best ways to begin restoring your body to better health, by improving balance, flexibility and circulation. In this class we will explore a series of gentle, low impact stretches and poses that will help loosen tense muscles, deepen your breathing and relax your mind. These stretches and postures are easy for anyone to do, because you can tailor them to meet your own body’s needs with simple modifications. Register

Intermediate Yoga Stretch

We take learnings from the Yoga Stretch class and take them to the next level! Register

We also offer Private and Semi-Private, In-Home Yoga Sessions – $75.00 + HST/hr.
