If you have your own yoga mat, please bring it. We have mats both for sale and rent. Students are encouraged to have their own. We also have a variety of yoga mat bags to help you carry and protect your mat to class.

And YES, we have nice clean showers so you can freshen up after class!

About Bikram Yoga...
A unique approach to hatha yoga, Bikram Yoga was developed by Bikram Choudhury. It is sometimes known as "hot" yoga because we heat the studio to improve flexibility and promote wonderful detoxifying sweat! But there’s so much more… So, for more information, check out Bikram's website at www.bikramyoga.com, then be sure to return to OUR Active Yoga site for wonderful Bikram method yoga in the High Park area of Toronto. While you're here exploring, why not bookmark this page?

5. When you have completed your challenge, see us about your discount and save $$$ on your next 1 to 3 month duration pass.
• We have a 1 year pass which is a great deal. The cost per month works out to about the same as the new student discounts!

1. 1 year unlimited for $1450 (equal to just $120.83/month). Due to this substantial discount, this pass is not subject to further discounts.
2. Above price includes HST.

• Our New Student package is now as follows:
1. Welcome to our special Introductory Week.
2. For just $30 new students now get unlimited classes for your first week. For example, if you start on a Monday, you have until the next Monday, so try 8 days of Bikram yoga for a bargain price.
3. Be sure to purchase your first longer package*, such as the 1- or 3-Month Unlimited or the 12 Class Pass during that Intro Week, and you also get 25% off the regular prices (except 1 Year pass).
4. * - Please note: The new 1 Year pass is excluded from this and all other discounts
5. These purchases MUST be made during the Intro Week. No exceptions or extensions, please.
6. Of course, this offer ($30 and 25%) applies only to students who are new to Active Yoga, and can not be combined with any other discounts.
• Holders of the Toronto Vegetarian Association (TVA) ‘Discount Card’ are now entitled to a 10% discount on yoga classes, except for the Intro Week $30 package and the 1 year package. Another great reason to support TVA!
• Remember: mat storage is available for a limited number of personal yoga mats. The cost is $10/Month or $25 for 3 months. Ask at the studio for details. We have a spot for you if you act fast.

FAQ

• A common question is ’How often should I attend?’ We recommend 3 times a week or more, if you can find the time. With an ‘Unlimited’ pass, classes can cost less than $5 each if you attend frequently!
• Bikram Yoga will help with your other sports and activities, and the stress of a busy life. The busier you are, the more you need Active Yoga!
• If you have back, knee, or other health problems, Bikram Yoga can be a great way to strengthen and improve. For more information, please go to http://www.bikramyoga.com/ and follow the link to testimonials.
• Our studio has plenty of ventilation, with fresh air brought in through a HEPA filter heat exchanger system. Do a class, have a nice shower, and head outside feeling refreshed, invigorated, and ready for the world.
• A reminder that we also have Gift Certificates! They make great gifts for any occasion. Give them to anyone and everyone for their birthday or other event! If you are a current student at Active Yoga, tell your family and friends that this is what you’d like to receive, too!
