Welcome to Yoga Toronto 196
at 745 Mount Pleasant Road
We will be slowly transitioning to in-studio classes in our new shared studio space at 745 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto, located just south of Eglinton Avenue. The studio space is located on the second floor (Room 203), adjacent to Midtown’s Tiny Tots, a daycare and children’s activity centre. There is elevator and stair access.
Since this is a new space for us – and the whole experience of in-studio classes is going to feel new for everyone as well – we wanted to give you an overview of the space and the protocols we’re putting in place to ensure our return to class goes smoothly.
Before class:
-
Book your spot.
-
Ensure you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
-
Ensure you have completed the COVID-19 exposure self-assessment, with a negative response to all questions.
