Description

Specialties

We offer group classes in yoga, meditation, kettlebell and functional strength training, private yoga and private training, pre-registered programs, special events and workshops related to health and wellness.

History

Established in 2011.

After retiring from a 10 year career in the CFL as a professional football player, Andre Talbot and his partner and fellow yogin and dharma practitioner, Catalina Moraga, opened a small yoga studio to share the practice with others in small group and one-on-one settings. The response was so positive that Spirit Loft has been slowly and organically expanding it’s space, programming, team and community.

Spirit Loft is a dynamic and inclusive space committed to offering programming to encourage living in greater strength, awareness and health and creating more participation, compassion and harmony within our community. We are located in a beautiful and spacious true loft in the heart of Toronto’s east end neighbourhood of Leslieville.

Business Owner

Andre’s journey into the practice and art of yoga began over a decade ago. This journey inward eventually led Andre to the Yandara Yoga Institute in Baja Sur, Mexico where he completed his first teacher training program. He is inspired by and continues to study yoga and the dharma with his teachers and mentors Poep Sa — Frank Jude Boccio (Mindulness Yoga), Laura Sygrove (Executive Director, New Leaf Yoga Foundation) and Shoken — Michael Stone (Centre of Gravity).

Andre retired from a 10 year career as a professional football player in the Canadian Football League in 2010. During his football career he trained alongside some of the most elite athletes and strength & conditioning coaches in North America.

Andre believes that yoga is community building and strives to utilize his teachings to foster unity and peace. Andre also teaches yoga for the New Leaf Yoga Foundation, sharing the empowering skills with various youth groups from some of the least-serviced communities in the GTA.

I was previously a student at seven seeds but they merged with spirit loft and have been taking classes there for a couple months. I am big fan of Lisa’s Vinyasa Flow classes. I always leave feeling accomplished and strong. Heather also has a very nice vibe and I’ve tried her hatha classes and keep meaning to try the restorative.
I would definitely recommend giving this studio a try.

This studio is relatively new, having opened about 5 – 6 months ago. I went here as part of my passport to prana activities. I went for Kristy’s saturday morning energy flow class.
what I loved about them
— amazing amazing space — a small loft with TONS of natural light
— great teacher — Kristy was trained by JP of ahimsa. She gave options for variations and modifications on poses, was reallygood about checking our alignment to ensure we were doing the poses right, had a great energy, and ran an enjoyable class with the perfect balance of challenge
— the owners were super friendly and approachable, taking the class themselves
— super personal classes — not a huge space so the classes are smaller and intimate
— interesting course offerings — although they don’t offer many classes (1/day, 2/day on the weekend), they offer a wide variety of types of yoga classes. They also have a yoga+naturopath series with a workshop once a month of 60min yoga and a talk by a naturopath on topics such as beating the winter blues or allergies — all for just 25 $!!!

It seems as if Spirit Loft yoga has recently hit the Passport to Prana site, which I where I saw them in the first place. This large industrial style loft complex on Carlaw is now home to two brand new yoga studios. Being right across from my house, I had been eagerly awaiting the addition of a yoga studio. The first to go in was Seven Seeds, which used to be known as Chang’s and was just around the corner on Queen. I personally was not a huge fan of their «style» so I didn’t venture over there. When I heard neighbours buzzing about the new studio across the road I thought that was what they meant. but NO there were TWO new studios!
Spirit Loft is run by a twosome, one male and one female in a cute and small loft on the third floor. My guess is that 13 yogis can practice at a time. The two are both extremely inviting, and you really feel as if you are being welcomed into their home to practice. It is a completely unique vibe to any other studio in Toronto that I have experienced. Mostly what sets this studio apart is that one of the two owners is a male who has 10 years playing professional sports under his belt, so the athleticism I am sure is a big draw for (mostly men) in Leslieville. A «Bro-ga» class on the schedule makes yoga even more accesible to men.
Good vibe, good classes. They are new, and a small operation so it is still cash only and very limited number of classes. Also no showers etc. Fine for me as I live in the ‘hood and really would only be able to visit after work and weekend mornings anyways. I am really excited to see where this studio goes. The vibe and the people are really special and I am eager to watch them grow. If you live in the neighbourhood, they are definitely worth the visit. First week $ 10.
