Holiday Schedule
We will be offering a special holiday schedule starting December 23 and running through until January 2. Be sure to check it out!
Be Present for This Present
From December 1st to December 31st, we are offering a limited time 15-class pass for the price of our regular 5-class pass. The passes are valid only until December 31st. As an extra bonus, anyone who takes 15 classes in the month of December gets to give a friend who is new to Octopus Garden one month of free yoga!
Metta Tree for Sistering
For the third holiday season in a row, Octopus Garden is partnering with Sistering to provide gifts for families in need in our community. Sistering is a local organization that serves homeless, marginalized and low-income women in Toronto.
Please consider stopping by the front desk to get a gift tag to buy for either a mother or a child. We request that all gifts be unwrapped and submitted to the reception desk on or before December 15.

- 1:00-3:00pm – Community Potluck — Bring something delicious to share.
- 2:00-3:00pm – Musical performance by the O’Pears — One third of the O’Pears group is our beloved reception staffer, Meg!
Holiday Bliss
Thai Yoga & Restorative Classes with Ian Gardner & John Veiga
The first of these classes filled very quickly. Registration for the next one will open at 9:00am on Monday December 9.
Please note:
- Online registration is not open for these classes.
- We will only honour calls made after 9:00am on the Monday of the class.
- Due to overwhelming demand, and in order to have as many people experience this class as possible, we have decided to limit attendance to one class per person. For example, if you attend on December 2, you cannot register for either December 9 or 16.
Taste of Teacher Training Pass
The pass is back! From October through January, we will be offering one week of unlimited classes FREE to anyone interested in learning more about our training program. Because all of our teaching staff have taken at least three hundred hours of training here, we think our drop-in classes are a wonderful representation of our yoga education program and the types of classes and teachers we believe in. Pick a week, set up your pass, and see if our studio is the right fit for you.
To learn more about our upcoming 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training Program, visit our Teacher Training & Yoga Education Page.

We’re unveiling a new section of our website (<== look to the left of the screen). Visit this section to see updates on news and events relevant to the budding yogi!
And there’s more…
Attention members: If you bring one friend to register for the Yoga Foundations Workshop in either October or November, we’ll give you your next month of unlimited yoga for FREE!
First Week Free!
First time visitors to Octopus Garden will receive a complimentary week of unlimited drop-in yoga classes.
That’s right, your first week at Octopus Garden will be free! Study yoga, believe in your capacity for change, and see what happens!
Have you had your Initial Consultation?
One of the benefits of being a Member at Octopus Garden is a 15-minute Initial Consultation. This consultation allows you to meet with us one-on-one in order to discuss your needs and intentions for practice. We are looking forward to getting to know each one of you individually, and the Initial Consultation represents a first step in this process.
The Initial Consultation is available to people who have signed up for our $90-a-month Membership Program. To learn more about the benefits of Membership, please visit our Services page.
Before you book a time for your Initial Consultation, please fill out and submit a short, on-line questionnaire. This questionnaire will allow us to serve you more effectively when you come in to meet with us.
To book your Initial Consultation, look at our appointments schedule and select an available time.
Please note: If you need to cancel an appointment, we require 24 hours notice. Initial Consultations may be rescheduled only if this notice is received.
