What Students Are Saying

Testimonials

I started practicing yoga at Studio Po almost two years ago. My stress and anxiety have decreased, I’m sleeping better, and I feel much more fit and flexible; before Studio Po I couldn’t even touch my toes, and now I can reach my toes and even stand on my head, which is something I never imagined I would be able to do. The teachers at Studio Po care about their students and will go above and beyond to help find appropriate pose modifications for students who experience any pain, discomfort, or inflexibility on any part of the body. Seriously love this place!

Sharon is so amazing with the kids. My girls, K. and E., really love her and they go because of her! They enjoy the classes so much (I've never heard them complain) and they get a ton out of the 1 hour. If I had to, I would drive even further to bring the kids to Studio Po! Thanks Sharon, for being such a wonderful teacher.

- Christine W.

I highly recommend this studio! I just came from a healthy back workshop and feel incredible! Earlier this year, I was inconvenienced with a herniated disk in my lower lumbar and coming to this studio was the best choice I made. In particular, Stephanie Tencer has been an incredible teacher. Very thorough. Her words and instruction sink in deeply during practice, which allows me to get deeper into my practice. The studio is clean, white and bright. There's a roof top sun window, to allow natural lighting. It's a very tranquil space.

- Megan M.

Had my first class today and it was amazing. I have done yoga in the past but never Iyengar Yoga. It's very different from any other yoga classes I've done, but in a really great way. I was a bit surprised by the lack of mirrors in the practice space. However, I actually found that I was able to listen to my body more about the corrections I needed rather than just looking in the mirror for corrections. So excited for my next class!

– Amanda M.

Had my first class with Stephanie (old and dear childhood friend) and am so thoroughly impressed with her combo of skill and kindness. Couldn't have chosen a better class to attend if I tried. Thank you.

– Judi L.

I've been working with Sharon and Stephanie for over a year and have seen huge improvements in my practice. The studio offers knowledgeable teachers, ample props available, lots of class times, very reasonable pricing, and a parking lot! You can't go wrong at Po :)

– Gina M.

I came back to Iyengar yoga practice after a year of shoulder and wrist problems/pain. Studio Po was a delight to find in the area. Big, bright welcoming studio space with very knowledgeable, precise instruction. After a month of once a week of practice my shoulder is in much better shape, and the pain in my wrist is almost completely gone. Highly recommend!

– Stevie M

I had my first class at po today and it was amazing. It's a learning process, but the instructor was very helpful. You learn the correct form and the how to extend your learning beyond the classroom. Thank you for a great class!

– Natalie S.

Beautiful, light-filled, well-equipped studio with excellent teaching and a wonderful warm community. Lots of classes at every level.

– Jill G.

Studio Po is a very special space and a very special community, filled with light, love, and integrity.

Ok, so we may have gotten carried away with all sorts of Iyengar-style vinyasa that we forgot to take photos during Stephanie's Deconstructing Asana workshop 🤦‍♀️. On the plus side, we (almost) managed a group shot at the end 😁🙏💛. --- Thx to everyone who came out to PLAY!!!! --- Ummm.. Paripurna Navasana -- Malasana -- Full Arm Balance -- you are ALL going to work that one, RIIIIIGHT? --- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #practiceyogadaily #yogaworkshop #yogaisfun #yogainspiration #yogaclass #yogalove #torontoyoga #junctionto #jtriangle #1wiltshire #yogamakesmehappy #yogaplay #vinyasa #armbalances #torontoyoga
Arm balances, folks...let's do this! 👊 Sunday, December 9th, 1-4 pm -- In this advanced clinic, @stephtenceryoga will deconstruct and explore the various actions that make up #bakasana & #parsvabakasana. Then, drawing on strength, focus, & a non-negotiable sense of humour 😂, students will piece all the elements back together in hopes of shedding light on these challenging (yet fun and immensely rich) poses. -- Advance registration is required (👉 link in bio) -- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #practiceyogadaily #yogaworkshop #yogaisfun #yogainspiration #yogateacher #yogaclass #yogalove #yogaprops #yogaposes #yogaaddict #yogajourney #yogalover #instayoga #instayogi #yogaeverydamnday #yogalife #yogafun #yogachallenge #armbalance #stephtencer
Thank you @yogajourney_collingwood for sharing your Yoga for Healthy Feet workshop with us! It was JAM packed with practical (ok and some pretty comical 😂) info. Your kindness and humour 💯 lit the place up and we hope you will come visit us again soon 🙏💛
Yoga can be intimately personal but also collectively bonding… #sadhana students, could you feel it??? --- Kudos for courageously working it out on the mat, each day. For some, the challenge was to do MORE. For others, the challenge was to do LESS. Neither easy, but both NECESSARY for unleashing the transformative power of asana. --- “Asana interpenetrates from the skin towards the self and outer penetrates from the self towards the skin, touching the physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual bodies.” - BKS Iyengar --- May your sadhana continue to feed you in the most nourishing of ways🙏🙏 --- Until next time… Spring Sadhana: April 23-26, 2019 --- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #practiceyogadaily #yogaworkshop #yogaclass #yogalove #yogaprops #yogaposes #yogaaddict #yogajourney #yogalover #yogaforeveryone #earlymorningyoga #startthedayoffright #stephtencer #torontoyoga #junctionto #jtriangle #1wiltshire
Day #3 of #sadhana with @stephtenceryoga was about confronting something new (& challenging!) while being 100% okay with lack of grace and/or ease. What happens when you let yourself go there???? --- "It's also a yogic principle that those practising yoga must be encouraged to discover unknown territory by themselves. Even in the most talented, feelings of inferiority are strong. These feelings are not eradicated by rationalizing, but by the actual experience of self-observation. A poor self-image is diminished in the same manner. Positive personal experience through one’s own efforts will, under the hammer of repetition, slowly chip away undesirable characteristics.” — Swami Radha in Hatha Yoga: The Hidden Language --- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #practiceyogadaily #yogaworkshop #yogaisfun #yogainspiration #inversionlove #yogateacher #yogaclass #yogalove #earlymorningyoga #startthedayoffright #stephtencer #torontoyoga #junctionto #jtriangle #1wiltshire
We already know that asana is a vehicle for integrating and addressing both mind and body. What happens when you also introduce the concept of speech? How does you inner dialogue affect your experience? Swami Radha says that "in the learning of each asana there will also be a learning of the dependence, interdependence, and interaction related to body, mind, and speech" - - When you practice, can you catch the interplay of these 3 elements? --- Here are a few more highlights from day 2 of #sadhana. --- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #practiceyogadaily #yogaworkshop #yogaisfun #yogainspiration #inversionlove #yogateacher #yogaclass #yogalove #earlymorningyoga #startthedayoffright #stephtencer #torontoyoga #junctionto #matismylaboratory
Stephanie began the 2018 Fall Sadhana with a quote from Swami Radha: "... You are a discoverer, an adventurer, and you become your own laboratory, making your own investigations. It is up to each person to think intuitively, to investigate, to inquire... The mystical message in Yoga must be understood by intuitive perception". --- Here's to the ongoing pursuit and development of intuitive perception!!! 😊🙏💛 --- #iyengaryoga #studiopo #bksiyengar #practiceyogadaily #sadhana #svadhyaya #selfpractice #practiceyogadaily #playfulpractice #matismylaboratory #stephtencer #yogaprops #yogaplay #torontoyoga #junctionto #yogalove #yogaworkshop #yogateacher
