I love Breathe. Let me tell you why. I have been going to the Mckenzie Lake location for over two years now. I started my practice with a lot of self doubt and lack of confidence in myself at a yoga studio. I really didn’t know what to expect walking through those doors. But here I am, proud to be a yogi that’s affiliated with the best studio in Calgary. The teachers are outstanding, the studio at mclake and at Avenida are beautiful and feel inviting and spa-like. I do most of my practice at mclake but last summer spent a number of classes at Avenida. Some of the same teachers are at both studios. I do like that there are two studios at mclake because you have double the opportunity. The classes are varied and I still have choices even though I do not go past a yin or a Hatha yoga class. The classes widely vary in attendees, large, small, fit and not fit. As a larger woman I was afraid to enter a room with a number of young hard bodies but the desk staff, the teachers, and the other yogis I practice with have only been kind and encouraging. I learned that self doubt was in my mind. So now when I open the door to Breathe, I inhale the invigorating scent of lemongrass and know that the next 75 minutes or so are all about me improving my mental, physical, and spiritual health through the assistance of the brilliant staff at Breathe. This is my studio and that’s why I love it.

Great place. Change rooms have lots of room, showers.
The hot yoga is hot enough to give you a sweat but not heatstroke.
Instructors or guides are very good. Good pace.
Place is clean.
What I enjoy is that my membership can work across the different Breathe locations. This alone puts in a top.
I go to this place and the one at Avenida.

I was invited by my girlfriend to try out the McKenzie Towne location about a month ago and will never go back. I looked at the schedule online, but once I arrived (3 minutes before the class was about to start) I was turned away and told that I needed to be there 2 minutes earlier to attend.
I was ready to go, simply needed to leave my bag in the change room. Was extremely disappointed as I drove 30 minutes out of my way to come to this particular location, and walked around the building confused as I also did not realize it was upstairs. (Likely losing the 2 minutes I needed to be able to attend the class.) If you are going to turn customers away, I suggest writing something on the schedule that requires a mandatory 5 minutes prior to class start time.

I’m writing another review for this place, because Suzie Allan, the owner of Breathe Hot Yoga, kindly contacted me and offered me a free class to give them another try. I was pleased that she actually read my review on Unilocal and attempted to fix things, as many other places would not even bother. I’m glad she reached out to me because my second visit was much enjoyable, and Breathe Hot Yoga can be one of the places I frequent for my yoga needs :)
I decided to sign up for a 10am Saturday core class, to see what the crowd would be like. As Suzie mentioned in her e-mail, the class was not even close to being half as full as the $ 5 Friday class. I also found the class to be much more challenging, and definitely felt the burn afterwards.
I liked how the instructor walked around, guided and fixed postures for people. This was the kind of guidance I was looking for during my first visit, that I did not experience. I would assume that it is probably due to the number of people in the studio. Also the particular instructor that I had was very personable and I found that his jokes made the difficult postures much more enjoyable.
I also found that the temperature was adjusted regularly throughout the class, so that you were never TOO hot. I really liked this.
Overall, my second visit was much much more pleasant. I plan to attend again in the future. If you plan to attend, unless you have a tight budget, I would recommend avoiding the $ 5 Friday classes (unless you don’t mind being very close to someone). And as for all classes, I recommend that you register online to secure your spot (unless you are a student — there are student rates available but only in person I believe).

I have been taking classes at both Breathe locations — this weekend marked my first visit to the newly-opened McKenzie Towne location, and I think I prefer it to the Avenida location. It is more spacious — larger change-rooms, windows to let some light in, and they also have a non-heated studio.
I am still pretty new to yoga, so it’s nice that they offer non-heated classes, including Beginner classes, so you can learn the basics before going to a heated class. The non-heated room is smaller, which allows for some more attention from the instructor. It’s also nice to be in a class with other beginners, and not feel intimidated in a heated class with people pulling off headstands without even breaking a sweat!
I’m definitely going to make this my home location, and keep coming for non-heated classes!

Recently Breathe came down a notch for me.
There have been major changes to their class schedule and my favourite class is gone entirely from it. Furthermore, now it’s more challenging for me to get to classes I want to do because of the times of day when they’re offered. Overall, I’m not impressed with the changes made, particularly when I’d bought into a six month pass. I will not be renewing with Breathe as a result – clients have an expectation that you will continue to offer the same stuff as when they signed up. Right now I’m just relieved that I didn’t sign up for a full year contract. While some of this is understandable as the studio is still finding its land legs, it puts consumers in a challenging spot. Buyer beware…

Would you ever sit down at a restaurant, order your dinner and pay before you eat? Or how about when you drop off your vehicle to the mechanic, would you pay before the service has been done?
No. Then why would you have to pay for your massage before you get it ?
Unfortunately, it appears the only way to book a massage appt with Breathe is to book online and prepay for the massage.
I thought this was weird when I did this but figured, hey, why not. I’ve never been to BREATHE and they’re so close to my home. I booked my massage for the day I was off from work. I received a phone call from Breathe saying the Massage Therapist was unable to perform the service that day, and they had to reschedule I said «That’s okay, I would just like my money back then please since this was my day off ««Oh we don’t give refunds. ««This isn’t awesome» «I’m sorry about that». So I had to prepay for a service, they cancelled on me, and I couldn’t even get out of it. Had to reschedule for over a week later.
The massage therapist, Jenn was absolutely amazing. My massage was awesome. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am because I would book with her again in an instant if they either 1) Didn’t charge me in advance or 2) offered me a discount for doing do.
Jenn, call me if you ever decide to go solo or work for another spa.

I strolled in here with the expectation that I could score a $ 40 introductory month deal. But it didn’t apply to me as I had already been practicing at their Avenida location for over a year. Fair enough, I thought.
They have two studios, a heated one for hot yoga classes and one for Asthanga non-heated classes. I didn’t get a chance to see their hot yoga room but their Asthanga studio is tiny but not cramped. It didn’t have mirrors which at first I thought would be odd but it wasn’t a big deal after being five minutes in the room.
Their whole studio is just as neat as the other location. I can’t quite describe it but they certainly hired a great decorator, I really love the feel of walking into a Breathe Studio, from taking my shoes off to paying at the counter, to getting dressed at the dress room. It’s like the moment I step into the place I get a visual spa treatment.
Allison was an amazing instructor. I hadn’t realized I’ve been out of practice until she came by several times with her quiet lending hand, reminding me the finer points of posture. For the drop in price I got a lot out of the 90 minute class, which was a great start to my Sunday Morning.
Also I went to high school with her and hadn’t gotten a chance to say hi, I hope she didn’t remember me and pegged me for a snob, there wasn’t any room to catch up at the end of class :’(
