If you’re new to Yogatown, absolutely start with our Intro Month - $65 for 30 days of unlimited yoga and pilates classes. That’s an entire month of classes for the cost of two drop-in classes, with no strings attached!

The Intro month gives you time and space to explore a variety of classes, build a routine, and truly experience the benefits of yoga.

If you’re brand new to yoga, we recommend starting with our Town Mix class - it's accessible, builds a solid foundation and is a great starting point for most people.

Stretch & Unwind is also popular - great if you're looking for stretching and relaxation.

Flow is also an accessible class - more fluid and dynamic.

At the end of the day, you are always encouraged to take things at your own pace and every class can be adapted for any level. Our teachers and staff are happy to help point you in the right direction depending on your goals.

We hope so! The best way to find out is to come and experience it for yourself with our Intro Month $65 for 30 days of unlimited yoga and pilates classes.

Yogatown is built on three core values: Family & Community, Belonging, and Healthy Living. We're a family-owned studio with 18 years of roots in Ottawa and we're deeply committed to creating a space where you feel welcome, challenged, and at home - whether it's your first class or your thousandth.

A warm and welcoming studio where the community genuinely supports each other. Spacious change rooms, lounge areas with complimentary tea, infrared-heated practice rooms, and a team of highly trained teachers and staff who are among the best in the city. We take pride in our spa-like atmosphere - this is your space to breath, move and reconnect with the best version of you.

Yes, we practice in a heated room, but we prefer the term warm. We use infrared heating panels and air exchanges to create a comfortable, controlled heat - not the intense, dripping wet experience many people associate with "hot yoga". Most people adapt quickly and come to love it.

The heat allows you to move more deeply and safely, reduces injury risk, supports cardiovascular health, and detoxification through sweating.

You may also experience broader yoga benefits over time: improved strength and flexibility, better sleep, reduced stress, better mood, greater mental clarity, and more energy. The effects compound with time and consistency.

Yes, you'll sweat - how much depends on how intensely you work. New students are encouraged to ease in, take breaks as needed, and build gradually. Bring a hand towel for sweat, a water bottle for hydration and maybe even a change of clothes for after.

• Yoga mat (available to rent)
• 2 towels - one for your mat and one for a shower (available to rent)
• Water bottle - fill up at our water stations
• Comfortable, breathable clothing
• A change of clothes for after class
• Come well hydrated
• Bring an open mind and curiosity - you’re going to love it!

Yes! yoga mats, mat towels and shower towels are all available to rent. We also sell high quality yoga mats in studio.

Absolutely. All three of our locations have full change rooms and showers. We want your time here to feel like a complete experience - arrive, practice, refresh, and leave feeling renewed.

Practicing on a full stomach can be uncomfortable. We recommend something light before class (like fruit), save your full meal for after your practice. Stay well hydrated throughout the day and bring water with you.

It is strongly recommended that you register in advance through our app or our website. This ensures you get a spot. Registration for classes opens up 3 days in advance. Walk ins are always welcome if space is available.

Unfortunately not. Late entry is disruptive to the teacher, other students and the practice environment. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early, especially if it's your first visit.

We ask that you cancel at least 8 hours before class to release your spot to other students. Late cancellations and no shows will result in a class credit being deducted from your account or a $20 fee if you are an unlimited member.

Many of our members and our teachers have practiced yoga at Yogatown throughout their pregnancies. If you have already been practicing consistently for 6 months before getting pregnant, you should be able to continue. Please consult with your doctor or midwife.

Perfect! That's exactly why you should start. There is absolutely no minimum requirement for experience or flexibility. In fact, the less flexible you are, the more you stand to gain. Our teachers will guide and adjust you throughout every class. Also, over time, you'll discover that yoga is about so much more than flexibility.

14 years old is our minimum age. Anyone under the age of 18 must have an adult sign their waiver form upon joining. We occasionally offer tween yoga classes - see our workshops page for those.

Unfortunately, no. Our staff are focused on serving clients and are not able to supervise kids. We appreciate your understanding.

We'd love to hear from you. Reach us by phone, email (info@myyogatown.com), or drop by any of our three locations (Preston St, Stittsville, Barrhaven). We're happy to help and hope we'll see you for class soon!
