Santosha Yoga is delighted to
welcome long-time Iyengar teacher
Barbara Young and her new Pathway Yoga to our Westboro studio
beginning in September. 

Iyengar yoga teaches mobility, stability, strength and alignment. Each pose is taught with precision, leading students to understand the link between bodily alignment and inner balance. Its namesake, the famous, venerable and beloved BKS Iyengar ('Guruji' to his millions of students worldwide), pioneered the use of props to take our bodies, coloured by inborn and aquired patterns, into the objectivity of more balanced yoga poses. Iyengar yoga practice can also bring beneficial therapeutic and organic effects.

BKS Iyengar

Barbara and Santosha Westboro have worked out an arrangement that will give Santosha students with a valid membership a 10% discount on the courses and programs offered by Pathway Yoga .

Barbara Young has studied many times directly with the Iyengar family in India and North America. She's also a curious student of Buddhism, something she shares with an increasing number of the Santosha Sangha.

For more information on Pathway Yoga, including a class schedule and registration information, go to http://pathwayyoga.ca.

Two important changes are the extension of all expiry dates except the 5-class pass to one year as many of you have requested. The 5-class pass remains valid for six months from activation date. We have also made the much-requested change of offering a discounted first class of $10.

NOTE that we have made most of the class packages studio specific to streamline the accounting between studios which we found was taking an inordinate amount of time and energy despite our fancy on- line computer registration system.

All passes currently valid will be 'grandparented' and honoured at both studios until their expiry. However, in the future students wanting to attend both studios will purchase the discounted 20-class Ganesh Gold Pass which gives students 10 classes at each studio. Please note that this 20 class pass will give you the lowest per class cost at $12 each.

While other prices have increased only slightly, the monthly unlimited membership has increased from $108 to $155. It was not sustainable at the former, extremely low price but we're glad so many students have been able to benefit for so many months. We have discontinued selling at the old price, but you can purchase 2 months of unlimited yoga for July and August for $249 (see our 'Summer Special' below).

This is the first time we have raised the price of class packages since about 2005. We have found that our prices were not reflective of the present day market or steadily rising operating costs.

We appreciate your loyalty and any comments you wish to make.

Scholarships available:  At Santosha we are dedicated to offering yoga for every body and if your financial position does not permit you to take classes then scholarships and subsidy are available as well as work exchanges.  Please contact info@santoshayoga.com with any such requests.
