Seven Great Reasons to Get a Summer Sizzler Pass


 

1.  The Summer Sizzler is now three weeks longer, beginning at the start of June. This brings the price in line with last year's summer program.

 

2. If you come just once a week through the summer that will pay for the entire pass.If you come three times a week the price is $5.30 a class.

 

3.  Buying the pass allows you to sample all of our classes and different teachers.

 

4. You can see the benefits of yoga by coming more than once a week without paying more.


5.
We offer a variety of styles and levels to choose from at two locations.

 

6. You are still getting value for your money if you take a week or two off for holidays (just come two times a week when you are here).

 

7. Overall, it is tremendous value for the price: Quality teachers, spacious, quiet studios.

 

The Summer Sizzler pass allows you to do as much yoga as you like for the cheapest possible price.

Summer Sizzler! 14 weeks of Yoga for One Very Low Price!


Dear ,

What is Unique About The Yoga Studio  


 

As yoga studios pop up on every street corner, I have to keep examining what is it that distinguishes us and provides the unique value at The Yoga Studios, Calgary's oldest yoga establishment.

It comes down to quality teaching of authentic traditional yoga inspired by the work of the great yoga master, BKS Iyengar.

I was reminded of this again last week when four of my teachers and
I attended four days of yoga classes in Saskatoon, taught by Devki Desai, who has worked daily with Iyengar in Pune, India, for 27 years.

Most of these teachers originally trained in what is the longest training program in Calgary and then continue for another several years to challenge Iyengar International Certification. They regularly upgrade these professional skills with conferences like the one in Saskatoon.

They bring passion, personal attention, adjustments and corrections to their classes, conveying what they understand of the great wisdom of the world's leading yoga master.

found me, and I fell in love.... and then it morphed from the physical only, and breached into the spiritual. As a result of yoga, I have found a life long dedication to an art that meets all of my needs, and with that, a lifestyle, wonderful yogis to learn from, and an understanding of myself that changed my whole world.
