Our Yoga Studio Reviews
Heal Yoga is a beautiful, warm, inviting space. The instructors are incredibly attentive and all genuinely want you to succeed. I love going to this yoga studio. Walking in the front door is like walking into a warm hug.
My favourite yoga studio in Terrace, the infrared is so nice (especially in winter). The instructors and community they are creating are inviting and incredible. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I like the way Virginia accepts everyone for themselves, including their abilities, size, and age. She's always willing to offer or demonstrate variations of poses or stretches if needed while encouraging each person to do what is available to them. Her enthusiasm is contagious.
I am so glad I found Heal Yoga. When I first started I couldn't stretch much and pretty much always fell out of the balances pose but everyone was really supportive and encouraging. I especially liked the instructor telling me more than once to remember it is yoga practice, not yoga perfect.
