Moksha Yoga Maple is a brand new yoga studio that opens up at Vaughan/Maple area…read more Yes this is another one of those heated/hot yoga studios.... doing the same thing as others.. but there are several aspects of the this studio that made my Passport to Prana visit really enjoyable. Since it is a brand new studio in a brand new retail plaza.. Moksha Yoga Maple can build and design exactly the way the owner envisioned, compared to a lot of other studios that need to convert or remodel existing spaces/business. There are tons of little cubicles for your shoes right when you walk in.. and thanks so much that there are padded benches for people actually sit down and put on/off their shoes!! hopping on one leg and balancing trying put on winter boots are not fun! The staffs are really friendly! Welcoming to first timer and everyone new to the practice/studio. The teacher, Vanessa actually sat in the front and reading all the new wavier forms people signed and ask questions if anyone new to the practice individually or have any concerns even before going inside the practice room. Vanessa even explain to all the newcomers what to expect...I really like that caring vibe... and how she really respect the students and herself as a teacher. The whole studio has a colour theme "Green". All the towels, (BTW the rental towel is one of those yogitoes) , mats, painted walls.. are all in the same colour theme.. "Green, which is Nature's colour, is restful, soothing, cheerful, and health-giving." - Paul Brunton The class itself is standard Moksha poses.. but since there are quite a few beginners, the instructor spent time and walk us through the poses verbally in details. She also shares her thoughts of how to take yoga practice off the mat into the world. I would say it was a great class with such a positive vibe!.. Facilities wise, there are 2 toilets, 3 showers with fostered shower doors.. filtered water to fill up your water bottles. No lockers though, so locking up your valuable in the car would be a good idea!

Great place and great teachers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Great daily schedule.read more

However, because of its popularity, the classes can get quite busy. So if you do use your Passport, please make sure you arrive at least 15-20 min prior to the class start. They did turn people away because the class has been filled up to capacity.

Went for my first aerial yoga class through Groupon. Nice that they have lockers but I don't know…read morewhy they need to take your picture "for reference". This was an all levels class but it seemed like most people have been here before. The instructor just jumped right in with no intro or anything. Although it's a relatively small class of 12, I feel like you don't get help if you need it. I just felt really uncomfortable the whole time, both emotionally and physically. Emotionally because he didn't really slow down or show any modifications, he just demonstrated and has us try. The way he explained wasn't very technical either, so I wasn't sure whether I was doing it right or not. Also, I didn't like that he commented sometimes in cantonese. Just because the students are mostly Chinese doesn't mean that you should assume they understand it. Physically uncomfortable because the hammock was too high for me and it wasn't adjustable. He said that it's okay if it's too high because I'm going to invert upside down anyway. Somebody fell down and he calmly continued teaching, later asking if she was okay. Maybe it's his teaching style, but I just don't feel comfortable going to another one of his classes.

The Instructor is really helpful and he has other students and assistants in the class to help students get into the poses if you sign up for any of the All Level Classes. I took a Hanuman Yoga class which was really hard. This class uses a yoga strap, which you use to invert yourself from the ceiling and to perform all of the poses. I actually found this class a little too difficult for myself but I did appreciate all of the help from the instructor, his assistant and the other classmates. At this studio they have a few aerial yoga classes. The traditional aerial yoga class is done very high off the floor and was much more difficult than all of the other aerial yoga classes I have ever been to. I have a few more classes at this studio and am going to try the aerial yoga class, which happens on Wednesday evening since I was told it it done much closer to the ground. I think it will be more in line with the other aerial yoga classes I have done in the past. The studio also has a Hatha yoga class which is completed on the floor and if the other aerial yoga class is too difficult I might check that one out on a Sunday to see what I think of it.

Venue: 4/5 A bit…read morenorth for Richmond hill but the plaza has plenty of parking, even though sometimes I have to park closer to lcbo or surrounding stores. Gas station in plaza too and fast food options for post gym. Service: 3.5/5 Gym can get really busy at times, because there's a billiards table in the lobby there's usually a lot of men gathered around there just to play pool after their workout. It is hard to find a time where the table doesn't have a lineup which is expected. There's a lot of administration staff on site and there is a snack in a smoothie bar inside as well. In the summer months and after New Year's, you may see more teenagers hanging out there which can become a distraction to your workout as some do just chat and sit around machines. The basement is nice and peaceful though.

You need to arrive at least 30 minutes before your class just to search for parking, and even then there's no guarantee you'll find a spot. I've missed every class I signed up for because of this issue. To make matters worse, if you arrive even 30 seconds late, the studio doors are already closed. After carving out two hours of my day to attend a class, I still ended up missing it entirely. It's genuinely absurd and incredibly disappointing.

I was growing dangerously sedentary. I'd never been an athlete, so what to do? My daughters had been encouraging me for ages to try yoga, especially since my hip replacement and increasing arthritis in my feet. I had little strength and even less flexibility. But I dreaded classes or anything that brought back the humiliations of high school phys ed. Kind Yoga was perfect. I was immediately put at my ease by the gentle, fun, and yet professional approach of Ellen. Newbie clients like me were encouraged to use whatever 'props' helped us to feel comfortable, and to achieve our goals a little at a time. A few months into it I can measure my progress very specifically. I can easily get onto the floor and up again -- something I hadn't been able to do for years. I can tie my shoe laces from a standing position. I can sit cross legged, and I can touch my toes -- for the first time in my life! It may not seem like much, if you're young and fit and bendy. But to me these are huge successes. I'm proud of myself: so are my kids and my husband. And -- bonus -- I am apparently losing inches! Who knew?! Thanks, Ellen.
