About Buddha Body Yoga
Welcome to Buddha Body Yoga. We are moving forward and expanding our classes, teacher training, workshops and events to cosmic proportions in celebration of a great yogic community. Come and join the Buddha Body family.
At Buddha Body you will find two peaceful practice rooms in a beautiful and serene century old building featuring exposed brick, hardwood floors, and warm lighting. We offer students a chance to relax and indulge in Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage, Reiki and Ayurveda.
Our reception area, change-rooms and secondary studio are located on the first floor, with our main yoga space located on the upper floor. Each studio honours the building’s natural tranquility and provides students with ample space to develop their practice.
We also have natural spring water and tea to help quench your thirst. Practice mats are available for use, and we encourage you to bring along your own as well.
Reception hours are 20 minutes prior to class start times.
