The hot room is seriously HOT (which I love!). There is nothing more disappointing then showing up for a hot class that is more like warm or hot-ish. Not a problem at Samatva! The only downside to the studio is that classes are not carried out if less than 2 students attend. This has been an issue for me a couple of times which is a pain when you drive 20 mins into town just for class.

On your way from Montreal to Toronto or vice versa, I highly recommend a sojourn -- of at least a…read moreday -- in the beautiful not-so-little hamlet of Kingston. While this port town will never be mistaken for its it more popular, more sunny, more reggaed, more Rastifaried, more spring-breaked Jamaican counterpart, it's definitely a gem worth visiting. Kingston is a UNESCO World Heritage Destination found on the convergence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. One of its most popular activities is boating ... either staying on a house on the water or if a true tourist like myself, taking a ship through the Thousand Islands. While there are countless options, I have recommended in another review (https://urlzs.com/Swzxt) hopping aboard the Island Belle by "Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises" on their Discovery Cruise. Whether them, St. Lawrence Cruise Lines, Kingston Trolley, or other providers, I imagine it's hard to go wrong as the Islands are stunning. I recommend starting at the Kingston Visitor Information Centre (which I have also reviewed here: https://urlzs.com/DCcnD). They can get your visit on the right track (and can get you tickets to things like the cruises here. However, there's a lot to see right there by the Visitor Information Centre: City Hall across the street, Confederation Park and Fountain behind it, the BIG LETTERS for Kingston (with the "I" absent so people can stand there :), and the famed Canadian Pacific steam train, "Spirit of Sir John A." We came in on a Sunday. While I must warn that on Sunday some businesses are closed, there is still plenty to do. On our first visit to the big K on a Sunday, there was the Kingston Sunday Antique Market. Some cool stuff ... it's behind City Hall on King St, between Market & Brock streets (April - October, weather permitting). I recommend getting the "K-Pass", which includes that Kingston 1000 Islands Cruises as well as the Kingston Trolley Tour. Other sights and attractions are included, such as Fort Henry, SanTur Brewing, The Kingston Pen, Ahoy Bike Rentals, "The Haunted Walk" and a whole bunch of other things I can't remember. Don't forget there are several ways to get to Kingston, including VIA Rail that stops here on the way back and forth betwixt Montreal and Toronto. You really haven't seen Ontario until you've seen Kingston. I can't wait to return!

I want people to know that the founder of this company has stated that the unacceptably 'sheer'…read morefabric of recent products is merely a sign that the consumer is too large to fit into them (he says the same of the recent pilling of fabric that never happened when the company first started). [The company has come under fire lately for the poor quality of its products]. He also has stated that he is not interested in selling to anyone who is larger than a size 12, clearly sending a message to the majority of Canadian women (the average size is 14) that they are 'not fit enough' to wear clothing to supposedly get 'fit' in. So, in essence, if you shop here, you are supporting a company whose founder blames his own mistakes in judgement on women who are larger than a size 12 for his products' inadequacies. Guess what? Women who are size 14 can read and we also can stop shopping at his stores. I have certainly made that decision. SEE: http://bc.ctvnews.ca/lululemon-founder-blames-women-s-bodies-for-pants-problems-1.1531351 If you care about women's rights and about body image issues, shopping here is like shooting yourself and your values in the foot, so to speak. In the past, I have purchased products from this local retailer because my daughters wanted them. I once asked a woman there to hold a $150 jacket until I could come back a few hours later and get it for my daughter, who was with me at the time. It was to be a Christmas present and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. The cashier was snotty and said that they did not 'hold' things for people. The way she said it made me feel like she didn't think I was really going to buy it. Nice! :( I did come back the next day and buy it, but have NEVER shopped there again. There are a lot of great sportswear companies to buy from in Canada. Lululemon is no longer a positive store, or a positive company. [Shopping nearly anywhere else would be better than Lululemon.] Do you really want to spend your money at a place where the founder states that they are not in the business of selling to women "whose thighs rub together"(as if our thighs are the REASON his clothing sucks). Insulting women's bodies is the wrong way to counter complaints about products that have been recalled due to quality problems. Don't give them another dollar of your money.
