There are a slew of great props and a changing room. The class was made for everyone, with lots of clear instrution.

I will return many times during my two weeks in town.

Lovely yoga studio in Canmore, located on the main street of the town (which also happens to be…read morecalled Main Street, ha!). It's a flight of stairs from street level, but the view from the studio is simply breathtaking. Different types of yoga are taught, and teachers all have their expertise. Even though one can get used to the sight of the snow-capped Rockies after a few weeks in the region, nobody can really stay cold to the mountain panorama that can be seen through a ceiling-high window. Make sure to come to a class that starts before sunset so you can fully enjoy the view! The studio is small and cozy, which makes the practice much more calming, and the hardwood floor adds a homely touch to the whole studio. If you're more of an outdoors person, teachers often offer outdoors classes directly on the mountains, especially in the summer. As for any yoga studio, drop-in class fees are $18, and there is no student discount. There is a monthly trial package if you're new to the studio, but since you won't be disappointed, the best deal is obviously the yearly subscription. Mat rentals are cheap ($1).

We went to two classes during my stay (Buns Buns Buns and a full body one). They were surprisingly difficult, what a great workout. I would highly recommend trying out Wildheart, even if you've never done Barre before. Next time I'm back I'll be trying one of their Yoga classes! Two different teachers, both really inclusive and energetic. Equipment used in the classes includes: mini bands, light dumbbells, mat, barre! Drop in rate is $19.00 and well worth it in my opinion. The studio itself is right downtown Canmore, very beautiful studio. Views of mountains out the studio windows... they also have a little boutique.

There is a diverse class offering with times throughout the day from morning to evening candlelight sessions. They are rated 1-4 for difficulty and have offerings including, bowl meditation, intro sessions, gentle styles, and hot yoga. The costs seem competitive and for newbies like me, there is an intro cost level that has been really appreciated. From there, you can buy sessions on a sliding scale or commit to a duration. Also for newbies like me, they rent mats. I didn't want to buy one in case I hated it. :-) The teachers that I've experienced seem knowledgeable, patient, keep an even pace and are attentive to assist you if you are lost in a pose or help modify if you are struggling. They allow for online sign up or drop in. Classes have varied greatly in terms of fullness, but I haven't seen one yet where everyone didn't all fit. There are 2 rooms and I noticed the bathroom has a shower if needed. The place is clean, the people warm and welcoming, although getting a hold of them can be a challenge. I tried calling with no answer and FB doesn't seem that active, taking a few days for someone to respond to me by messenger. Overall I'm extremely pleased with my experience and plan to make the most of it before my schedule ramps up. Definitely recommend!

After moving to Bragg Creek, it became pretty obvious that I was going to have to practice Yoga at…read morehome or be a slave to the "Yin only" mentality of Yoga within the Heart of Bragg Creek. While it's a great little studio, there is nothing beyond intro and restorative Yoga. I get it, it's a niche thing, but I can't pay over $100 per month for laying on a cold floor. I took a chance and went out to Cochrane for a class. I have now been to at least 6 in three weeks. The drive is 35 minutes each way, so it's a bit of a committment however, there was an intro $50 unlimited 1 month pass, so I took advantage of it rather than paying $18/drop in. (Yes, people in Alberta are nuts to pay this ...their teachers are nothing compared to the West Coast - just sayin'). I like that there is a hot room as well as a regular room. I haven't tried the regular room yet as I am used to, and love, heated classes. I have done Monday/Wednesday and Friday 930 am classes as well as some lunch classes. What I like is the Friday 930 am vinyasa - lots of variety, music and ability to work at all levels. Hatha classes bore the heck out of me, but in a pinch I'll go. I'm not fond of no music - and so far there is only 1 musical class I have attended. I am going to try the Cowboy class they list as well as an evening class taught by a male instructor on Mondays, with my nearly broken DH. We are also going to try bringing our 6 year old to a kids class next Saturday while we practice in tandem - great idea. All in all, it's a decent studio and I am considering buying a monthly pass. I wish they had more musical classes....they just let you get into a zone. They have showers and some things to dry / tie your hair up. It's also great to have a cold lemongrass facecloth at the end of the hot room classes - maybe the others too, but I've not heard. I will update if possible.

This is a lovely spot in downtown Cochrane. It's a log house style, bright and inviting with large…read morewindows on one wall. It's not set up with an entry way, so you may end up with your mat by someone's boots and in winter that spot can be chilly. There's a small bathroom on site, which is all they need. It's a bit crowded in the back, but it's for storage of equipment that they offer you for free and overall it's a good use of space so that there is more floor to practice in the main area. The equipment that they have on site to use includes blankets, bolsters, blocks, straps and mats. As an occasional yoga practitioner, I'm grateful that's provided. They are on par or a little better in terms of price and promotions. I work very long days, so I don't have the opportunity to take advantage of their weekday roster. I also travel, so my weekends can be unreliable too. For that reason, I appreciated the pack of 10 promo to be used over 3 months. The flexibility is appreciated. I'd like to see more weekend offerings, but understand that they are growing. The Yoginis who teach here/ facilitate class all seem diligent with regards to poses and flexible in terms of skill level. I definitely recommend.
