I was going to the Yoga Tree studio in Richmond Hill for a month and was impressed with their excellent instuctors and the facilities there and was excited to hear that they opened their newest 3rd location in Downtown TO. I was even stoked that Groupon had a special offer which I quickly took advantage of.
The downtown studio is very nice, situated at the corner of Spadina and Richmond, very central and close to everything. The place is new, clean and modern. The reception area has a nice sitting area with a great view of the vibrant intersection and offered hot herbal tea. A great place to hang out before or after your class. Even the hallway leading to the two yoga studios had benches to sit down and a nice revolving gallery of local artists.
The change/shower room is nicely designed, great lockers where you set your own combo which makes it effortless and easy.
Being a beginner to yoga, having going for a couple months, I really appreciated the level 1 hot yoga. The instructor was easy to follow and was cautious and aware of everyone's ability. You could make it as leisurely or hard as your please.
The only thing I could wish was more evening classes.
Yoga Tree offers a new member's unlimited month special which I highly suggest to try out. Yoga Tree is a great addition to the King West/Entertainment District.
