Group Yoga Parties!! Dare to be Different!!

College Yoga SanctuaryPlan a yoga party for you and your friends at one of our beautiful studios. Make it a time to practice together, recharge and then totally relax. Give yourself and friends a unique time together. Our staff will be happy to work out a theme for the party, be it a vigorous Ashtanga class, partner yoga or a mellow Hatha (or a little bit of all three!) Your yoga session can have music or not, with guided meditation or without... we have loads of options.

Danforth Yoga Sanctuary This is a totally different way of celebrating with your family and friends! Make it your own yoga-theme party for those special anniversaries, bridal showers, birthday parties for adults or children, engagement parties, retirement parties, or even Solstice parties at one of the studios. And our new 4th floor studio at Danforth has a kitchenette with refrigerator and coffee urn for your party convenience.

Why not have a yoga party before your wedding instead of a stag and doe? Or break the ice with a yoga party when meeting up with old friends you haven't seen for a while! Introduce family members to yoga in a warm and welcoming way.

Want to treat your staff to a yoga and wellness day to say thanks for all the hard work - then make it happen with The Yoga Sanctuary.

Your imagination is our creation! Call 416.461.6161 for more information.
