Bikram Yoga Toronto East
Late Blog Post
During my last full weekend in the province of Ontario I took a weekend trip to Ajax, Ontario to visit Miss Jodi Brake. Jodi is a fellow Bikram teacher who has remained an extremely good friend since teacher training in 2008. Jodi and I visit each other once to twice a year depending on geographical location and financial means. Nevertheless, whenever we connect we always pick up right were we left off. It seems as though we always come together when we need each other most. Whether its a break up, death, or challenging life change we tend to be side by side when the life throws us lemons. Together we know how to make the perfect lemonade :)
While visiting Jodi we decided to take in a Bikram class at the local studio - Bikram Yoga Toronto East. The mantra of the studio is 'Hot Body, Cool Mind' which perfectly fits the studios ambiance. The studio is located in a tiny strip mall off one of the main highways. When you enter the studio you are greeted by fresh smelling flowers and a soft sounding waterfall. The studio feels completely calm, relaxed and centred - the exact energy the owner vibrates. It is a beautiful space with large change rooms and a long hallway that leads to a room for mediation or small community gatherings. There are Buddhas and positive, encouraging, messages scattered in all corners of the space.
My favourite features of this studio is the dong drum (sorry no picture). It is used to notify students that class is about to begin. The instructor hits a solid, metal, dong drum approximately three times radiating out a soft vibration throughout the entire studio. It is evident that students have become accustom to this gentle notice as everyone in the hot room rises to their feet and class begins ...
