Yoga

I have been a student and now, a teacher, at Nanaimo Yoga Sanctuary for many years. It is a place for everyone, regardless of your experience, to come and enjoy the many benefits of yoga. All of the classes are safe and accessible and full of wonderful people that will welcome you in.

Lovely hot yoga studio with many great instructors who always make you feel very welcome no matter what level you practice at. A wonderful experience each and every time!

Fabulous studio overlooking the sea and Pnina is a gifted, experienced instructor. She always makes sure everyone is comfortable and understands how the body should move safely. Highly recommend!

Great experience for a 'newbie' to Moksha. Felt very welcome and everything was explained fully by the competent staff. I will certainly recommend to friends.

I am forever grateful for finding Red Door Yoga over 4 years ago. It was my search for "True Self Help" that lead me to Kavita Maharaj and her in-depth teaching. A wealth of wisdom, she truly is "Living the Philosophy" and teaching those of us willing to do the work; how to as well. Namaste

Wonderful brand spanking new facility that isn't JUST a yoga studio (fitness classes, too). Fantastic staff (check out Elizabeth's classes) and a wonderful owner (Nicole) who all go the extra mile to make your experience top notch. If group fitness/yoga is your deal then look no further, do the trial week at the very least.

Great atmosphere at this studio and the one hour classes are perfect for a great workout and feeling energized for the rest of the day.

Went in to ask a few questions and was ignored by the front end person

The best massage ever! Radhika is wonderful. The spa has a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. I never want to leave but when I do I feel great. I will be sending my husband next.

Wonderful therapists! Thanks to Adam!

Great spot with a nice, welcoming atmosphere that is not intimidating. Staff are friendly and take the time to get to know their regulars. Things are kept clean and in working order on the floor and the studio space upstairs is really beautiful. Although not something I use every time the pool, sauna, and steam room are awesome amenities. It’s not a big pool so if you’re serious about getting your distance in it’s not ideal, however, as a way to cool down after a workout or get a little variety in it’s awesome. Also, they have a deadlifting platform with bumper plates which is an awesome addition since it can be a real hassle at some places with not the right set up or that don’t allow a bit of chalk to be used. The way it’s position will be a no go for Olympic lifts or any overhead dropping of the barbell (too close to the dumbbell rack in the front and a main walking path right behind) but most people in general gyms have no business performing snatches or jerks, if you’re serious about that go to the CrossFit gym and train with the Hercules lifting team. You could definitely do cleans/power cleans though. If the location makes sense to you and you prefer a more laid back, calmer gym vibe (ie. classic rock vs electronic music) than this place should be on your list to check out. They offer a nice trial too so no reason not to check it out if you were thinking about it!
