Yoga in the City of Toronto

Fitness & Wellness Guide: Yoga, Toronto Life Magazine, 2010

Owner-instructor Heather Morton is the real deal. To advance her personal practice she has made annual pilgrimages to study in Mysore, South India. She is also equally committed to the evolution of her students, some of whom she has taught since the school opened in 1997. The school does not offer drop-in classes, but structured 6-week programs limited to 5 students per program. Programs are offered in classical hatha-yoga, meditation and back bending. Classes are designed to provide individual instruction and progress in intensity.

Yoga for Everybody

Pilgrimages of Western Yoginis, Yoga4Everybody Magazine, October 2004

Kirsten, Heather and Dominique are yoga teachers. They are also women with children, husbands, homes, jobs and businesses. Their paths are sometimes littered with loneliness, mishap and illness. They uncovered a force within, beyond postures, beyond travel to self-awareness, spirituality, and life purpose. They remind us all of the possibilities—to pursue our dreams, our desires, our hopes. For women thinking of studying yoga in India, Heather advises, “India isn’t for everybody. If you really want to go, you will find a way to go."
