Hot Yoga Toronto - in the Annex : Welcome!

We are located in the heart of Toronto's Downtown, called the Annex - 1/2 block south of Bloor St, on the west side of Spadina Ave.

We offer daily Yoga classes, drawing on our long term teaching experience and our knowledge of the various yoga traditions.
The Hot Yoga that we teach is rooted in the Bishnu Ghosh Yoga Tradition from Calcutta, India.

Our Hot Yoga studio was the first to introduce Bikram Yoga to Canada in 1994, and has been the only Bikram Yoga in Toronto for many years since! Many of current Bikram Yoga Studio owners in Toronto and elsewhere in Canada received their first Bikram Yoga training from us!

Beginner yoga students really enjoy the Bishnu 1 beginner class (based on, and enhancing, the popular Bikram Yoga Method), finding it safe, balanced and thorough.
Experienced yoga students love the comprehensive and challenging whole body 'workout' of the Bishnu 2 intermediate class, which is designed to further develop the body in a comprehensive and thorough fashion.

Our studio is Canada's Leader in its systematic approach in teaching the Bishnu Ghosh Yoga Tradition!

On a cooler side, we teach Yin Yoga, where the focus is more on bones, joints, fascia and connective tissues - a great way to complement your HOT yoga practice.

Another 'cool' class is the Mandala, where we focus on a creative and fun way to stretch the body during a delightful 60 min Yoga Flow! Try it out!

Our class packages are flexible, attractive and very affordable.

You will find that our class hours will suit your lifestyle and schedule, no matter how hectic or irregular it may be! Our schedule includes verbally taught and silently led classes. Feel free to explore!

A Message from Sasha:

Hello! It is my wish here to give you all, who are interested in practising our Hot Yoga in Bishnu Ghosh tradition, a personal encouragement.

Whatever ailment may trouble you, whatever difficulties you may encounter during your yoga practice - please do not give up!
Bishnu Yoga is an amazingly powerful healing yoga method. It overhauls, renews and regulates our circulatory, skeletal, nervous, muscular, endocrine, abdominal, respiratory and spinal systems.
It massages, strengthens, lubricates, lengthens, balances, detoxifies, calms, de-stresses. It slows and even reverses the aging process.
It Recharges, Revitalizes and Reorganizes our body during each and every class!

We say, "Never too late, never too old, never too sick - to start (or resume) the practice of yoga from scratch".

Personally, I am now in the best shape of my life. My body functions as that of a healthy 18 year old. Feeling great day after day after day!
What does it take to feel this way - an Ageless Body, Ageless Mind?
A daily yoga practice. One Yoga class a day really keeps trouble away!

The health effects of your practice need to accumulate class after class. The less time elapses between classes, the higher the balance in your 'health' account. Each day you do not practise, you lose much of what you have gained or accumulated. The benefits of yoga practice remain with you as long as you keep reinforcing them on a regular basis. Otherwise, they are spent due to daily stress, sedentary life style and aging.

You should practise religiously, continuously and without intermission - at least three times a week, to experience lasting and cumulating health benefits!

For those who really wish to experience Bishnu Yoga's rejuvenating quality, I would advise a minimum of 5x a week attendance - day after day, week after week, month afer month, year after year,.....This is where the Inner Alchemy really gets to action, keeping you functionally Forever Young!

I am a professional Bikram Yoga Master Teacher, the most senior in Canada, having practised daily for over 25 years, and having taught daily for over 15 years. My teaching knowledge is based on direct personal experience: over 10,900 hours of yoga practice, and over 17,500 hours of yoga instruction. See Sasha's Info. It is a practical and sure knowledge. It does not fail.

Please, feel free to write me, if you have any questions or concerns about your Bikram or Bishnu Yoga practice. All the Best!

COME, LEARN from the BEST,

and PAY LESS than the REST !

We hope to see you in class soon! Namaste !
