Prana Yoga & Wellness Studio

They closed their door as of September 15, 2011

Although I’ve ‘only’ been to two yoga studios in Oakville, this is the best of the two (guess which one was the other?). Prana is located in a completely commercial area, nary a starbucks in sight, the closest being about 7 minutes away, but a Timmies down the street to cure my random after yoga donut cravings.
Prana stands out in my mind for two reasons.
First, the insanely high ceilings of which I’ve never witnessed before in a T.O. yoga studio. It’s fabulous and I daresay if they went ahead and painted their ceilings sky blue (thankfully they didn’t) I’d feel like I were outdoors.
Secondly, for the first time I was instructed by someone who wasn’t thin like yoga instructors usually are. He was a larger, athletic sort of man, and an incredible instructor; calm, intuitive and very inclusive of beginners.
The studio is a relaxing environment, and I’d recommend it to beginners in a heartbeat.
