Yoga

I highly recommend Lotus Meditation! I attended my first mantra meditation session with Kris in Feb 2014 at The Total Woman show at Bingemans and have been delighted to attend Lotus Meditation events ever since. Kris and Vani dasi are welcoming, generous, kind, compassionate and accepting. They host monthly kirtan (i.e. singing mantra meditation) and share a vegan meal afterwards. Kris is an amazing cook and Van dasi has a beautiful voice! They also host meditation classes on Tuesday evenings and a vedic wisdom session on Thursday evenings. Mantra meditation, makes it easier to meditate, as one listens to a transcendental sound. It way is better than an app, when one experiences mantra meditation with the energy and support of the community! Meditation has made a phenomenal difference in my life and I am grateful to Vani dasi & Kris for sharing mantra meditation with me and the community! Daily meditation practice has many benefits. It relieves stress and anxiety; provides better focus; one has better relationships with oneself and with others; gain greater compassion and love; is a pathway to growing self-awareness and improved self-management, which are two key emotional intelligence competencies; one becomes receptive to gaining insights; it centres one, it makes one more resilient; and it changes one’s happiness set-point. Come feel peace, love and joy in your heart by experiencing mantra meditation at Lotus Meditation!

I have been taking classes at Brass Butterflies (pole dancing) for just over a year and I absolutely love it. I've met so many incredible people here, and the studio itself is like one big community/family. Before I joined Brass Butterflies I had very minimal athletic experience, but thanks to the excellent instructors and safe learning environment I was able to do things I'd never thought possible for me (I went from not being able to do a push up to lifting my body weight over my head in as short as a few months). The attitude in the studio is very relaxed and incredibly supportive. The curriculum taught is fun, safe, and effective, and the studio offers plenty of extras on a regular basis such as: photo shoots, workshops, and showcases/parties/social events. The owner is excellent and is very passionate not only about pole and aerials but about ensuring all of her students are happy. If you have a suggestion, it will not only be listened to but taken to heart. If you've always wanted to try pole or aerials, this is the place to do it. There are studios in my home town but I drive 45 mins to this one because I love the classes, people, and atmosphere so much.

If you want quality, depth, compassion, brilliance, and someone you can trust - you've found her. By far one of the best yoga instructors and pelvic floor specialists available.

Really helped correct my winging shoulder blades, as well as other posture-related issues. I highly recommend KW Pilates to anyone who works at a desk all day.

If you've worked with a personal trainer before, you know that the relationship is foundational to your own success. You've got to work well together. Working with Meagan is a DELIGHT. She's professional, always prepared, constantly upgrading her skills to teach you the latest, and HILARIOUS. She's got a good balance of challenging you while making sure you're safe. Training with Meagan means you can relax, and devote your energy to the goals you've set for yourself; she's got your back.

Great club. Love those new equipment and the staff there. This club has parking right out front and has a great buzz. They Coach / train people in an open area and the sessions are amazing. I have done 4 sessions there (I subscribe to the sessions in the Kitchener clubs but use this one as well). Jeff is knowledgeable and fun to chat with. Highly recommend.

I never thought that working out would be fun until I met Olesia. She knows how to keep us working hard and getting excellent results without really noticing the effort. She tailors our workouts to our specific health and body needs. The time always passes quickly. Olesia cares very much about her clients and their health and well-being. I would very much recommend her services at EuroFit VIP Personal Training & Aerobic Studio.

Community of Hearts Yoga is magical: beautiful, peaceful, and full of excellent yoga teachers who offer relaxing and delicious yoga classes. Selam is an inspired leader and the Kitchener-Waterloo area is lucky to have her. Go, enjoy!!

I’ve been coming back to Waterloo for the last 4years from overseas and one of the best things is visiting Crossfit Waterloo. Not only are there facilities top notch, but the coaching staff is incrediblely dedicated to its members and community. The box runs a great amount of different classes but also big enough to accommodate open gym. I’ve been to enough Crossfit boxes across the world and must say this a premier box and a definite stop-by if in the KW area.

The staff are always welcoming. The trainers are engaging and supportive. And the workout is never boring! The heart rate monitors and splat points keep me focused on my effort level. We'll done!

Are you guilty of not taking time that is only for you. If you are looking for and experience that is truly unique to YOUR needs, I highly recommend that you "sit" in on one of the Om Shanti Yoga at Alchemy Yoga & Wellness Studio. Jackie's unique style, abilities and energy will help you to center, focus and heal.......and get healthier. Make you a priority for a change. You can drop in for a "sample", or sign up for an 8 week session. I promise you will be lifted.

I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

It was an awesome experience to be part of Yoga classes provided by Yog:Shailey-Art of Yoga. The instructors were well versed and expert in yoga and its branches. The way they explained about yoga tradition, showcased the classical hatha yoga and made us understand with clear and practical life examples clarified various myths I and other class members had about yoga. Their interesting way to teach is really contagious.

Kelly is absolutely wonderful.
