At Esther Myers Yoga Studio, you are welcome to join or drop into a class at any time during the term. We offer a wide range of yoga classes, workshops and intensives in Toronto, as well as teacher development in the U.S. and yoga retreats in Ontario, British Columbia, the U. K., Mexico, Tobago and Costa Rica.  Our highly regarded 750-hour Yoga Teacher Training Programme in Toronto is appropriate for individuals interested in becoming teachers, for teachers wishing to upgrade their skills, and for students looking to deepen their understanding and practice of yoga.

Yoga teachers or teachers-in-training! Check out the list of teacher development workshops scheduled this fall and winter (click on Workshops for Teachers and Special Events). Topics range from Developing and Sustaining a Personal Practice, to adapting yoga for students with specialized Health and Well-Being issues, to an introduction to the study of Ayurveda with Matthew Remski. Our yearly Yoga and Anatomy weekend with British yoga teacher and osteopath Peter Blackaby will take place in early February.

March 2009 marked the 30th anniversary of Esther Myers Yoga Studio! We are grateful for the ongoing commitment of our community of students, particularly poignant this year. Deep heartfelt thanks to Esther Myers (1947-2004) for the intelligent path of enquiry she blazed for us all.

Thank you, everyone, for helping us celebrate Esther’s determination, vision and the ongoing growth and vibrancy of the Studio with a series of fund-raising events throughout the year. We are happy to announce that we have reached our goal of $10,000 for Hospice Toronto (www.hospicetoronto.ca), an organization that assists those at the end of their lives and their families through volunteer care teams. We were thrilled to partner with Hospice Toronto this past year. The raffle draw will continue through December with prizes including classes, workshops, books, props, and three grand prizes of $100, $200 and $500 credit on any one of our international retreats.

As part of our 30th year celebrations, Monica Voss will be accompanying a group to India in November/December. Embedded in the middle of winter is our 9th annual yoga holiday to Tobago in February, also with Monica. In April, head off to the wild and remote southern tip of Costa Rica with Tama Soble and Monica Voss. Come along on an adventure, expand your horizons and enjoy the tremendous pleasure of practising yoga in some of the most beautiful and stimulating destinations on our wonderful planet (click on Retreats).
