About Gertrude Street Yoga was founded in the 90’s and is an urban centre for yoga, wellness, and community. We value yoga as a holistic practice, one that often begins on the mat but that expands into all aspects of life. We offer a variety of classes, workshops, courses, trainings, and retreats that focus on developing the physical practice of asana, as well as pranayama, meditation, and many other aspects of yoga. Additionally we have a number of holistic health and wellness services through our Wellness Centre offered by a group of dedicated practitioners. Through all of our offerings we encourage the cultivation of a body-mind connection as well as self-inquiry and inner exploration. Rather than teaching a specific style, our teachers offer classes influenced by their own varied and diverse trainings, experiences and practices; allowing them to tap into their creativity and develop classes that they are truly passionate about. This gives students a broad range of styles to explore and encourages them find and develop an authentic and meaningful practice. The Studio Located in the historic Johnson Furniture Building, Gertrude Street Yoga is often described as feeling like a home away from home. The spaces remain true to their heritage and feature original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and large warehouse style windows. The main studio features high ceilings and wall-to-wall windows that fill the space with natural light. The second smaller studio features north-facing arch windows that overlook the treetops of Fitzroy and let the morning sun stream in.
